Default My Chrome yellow 'Iron bobber transformation

Thought I would share the transformation of my 2011 Iron 883 over the past 6 months.

Here is the day I picked it up outside the dealership.


Here it is now...


Ill post up more pics of the whole process tomorrow. Thanks for looking guys.

Update: Video in HD

You sure didn't waste any time making the bike your own. There may be a thing or two I would have done differently, but why should you care? It's your bike! I'm glad to see young dudes messing with Harleys. Good job. Plus, it looks like it's really fun to blast around on.

If you're going to leave that front pulley guard off, and keep the mid controls, I recommend wearing pants that tear off easily.

My pant leg doesn't even come close to the pulley, when I have my riding boots on my jeans fit right over them and do not have room to flap around. Thanks though because trust me, that was the first thing I checked when I took the cover off.

Warrconn: Its an absolute blast to ride!
