I just got my 2016 883 Iron home. I know there are a few things I`d like to do right away. Any input as to what I should/need to do to get the most fun out of this bike. Where to source parts etc. Mostly interested in these things:
aux light bar w/ amber markers up front
aux tail/brake light, modulated
small hard leather saddle bags
small windscreen
pillion and sissy bar (part time when wifey wants to go for a ride)
air cleaner (the round black one is boring and my guess is aftermarket will give perf. benefits?)

What am I missing?

Thanks Guys and Gals!

 

DK Customs has most everything on your wish list. Great customer service and support. Also a forum Vendor/Sponsor. http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/

 

I recommend that you don't rush into it. Take your time look around at other bikes and get a good feel for the look you are looking for. Once you have a good idea for the look, shop around. DK does have some good stuff and they are reliable. I would start with the exhaust and then an Air Cleaner followed up with a tune.

I like to take my time with mod purchases because it feels good every time you get something new and then install it. If you get it all at once that experience will be short.

 

Thanks for the advice! The one thing I really want to do is lighting. That to me, is a good safety measure. I saw a killer light bar on a bike at the dealership I may look at.. Air cleaner for sure.

 

Go ride it

 

rear shocks.

 

Safety, Comfort, then Performance/Style

That's how I prioritize modifications. Take your time and see what's important.

 

Id not do anyhing for a while... just ride it.

 

Bring it back and get a 1200. That's what you will want soon. Why does anyone buy a 883 anyway? Just a question. Soon after they buy it they want a 1250 kit from Hammer. Not saying this to be mean just don't understand.

 

hey! you relax! my sporty was an 883 for 9 months under my watch. was a good segway to the 1200 (fk a 1250). i wanted a bigger bike, the sporty was the move. got a solid deal. beefed it up to 1200 after a 1800 mile road trip because of the highway failure that was a sportster on i95/i10... 883 vs 1200 around town is not all that different, unless you are a red light hopping loser.


i would never buy a new iron though. that's just a bad deal all around.
