that's awesome!, how did you get the black exhaust pipes?, this is the bike i want, but all the ones i've seen have chrome exhaust pipes, i want the black like yours.
By the way - nice bike :)....but I am bias. I had never been a fan of Sportsters, but HD's mod's made this bike very appealing indeed! I agree....buy American and ride a legend!!!
I am a lady who owns an 09 Iron and I am 5'6" and feel just right for this bike. Not sure if I was a lot taller I would think so....I also have the forward controls, mini apes, etc. so a fair comparison.
this was the first real harley i rode the other day. and without making any sense at all i now could do with a harley.. harley prices are a bit salty though how do yall justify it to u selves?
Actually, where I live in the U.S. the Harley prices are really no different than the jap prices ! Big thing is when you sign on the dotted line for a new jap bike, you automatically lose about 45-50 % of your investment, but the Harleys hold thier value like NO other cruiser !!!
I just got my Iron and love it. I also got some shortshots used. i went to the HD service department and they said that you need to buy a new fuel regulator or command module. what else besides high airfilter and pipes did you need to get? Thanks!
....get the smaller plate, about 6 1/2" across. I've run three bikes for years with them on, and never had trouble with the police. Don't get the really tiny ones, though, as they WILL draw the law's attention. Nice bike...have an '04 1200R myself.
Nice bike mate, how tall are you? I`m 6` 4" and mostly leg , so I don`t know if I could get away with this even with the forward controls. Any thoughts?
ive seen comments on pretty much all the other vids about the 883 and they all say that 6,2 feet issnt a prob..
im 6.3 feet and have took it for a test spin .. i had no problems with it... its a sportster with drag handelbar (stock) so a arched back pretty much goes with the whole idea
@blanny17 I'm 6'3' and for me forwards are great, best riding position. Try the sportster 48, same frame and already forward controls on it, just to try the fit.
@B3rtje The thing I dont like about the forty eight is that the tank size is so small. I love the Iron and am 6'2'' and am hoping the forward controls will work for me. I sat on the 48 and it felt great but will the Iron feel just as good with forwards? Thanks!
Thanks for the reply, there does seem to be divided opinion although the 'ayes' are never specific (probably because you're correct!). IMHO the uk plate ruins the lines of the back end of the sportster especially when mounted 'upwards' - although the position on this bike is better.
Are side mounted plates legal in the uk? They always look way better (especially on sportsters). I hate the way some stick up above the rear fender. At least blannies don't do that.
Which forward controls did you use?

feel sorry for the Brits having to deal with that 'road sign' license plate.
