Default My Iron is coming along....

Slowly doing some small things here and there and giving it some personality....hope you guys like it. I ordered the DK customs tank lift and coil kit but i'm on the fence still about going through with it. Thinking 1200 kit may be next...

Looks good so far! I personally really like the coil relo but don't care for tank lifts, but they're both easy to revert if you decide you don't like them.

I like it a lot but it would look so much better with some polished knuckle heads.

I personally do not like the speedo relocation look. I didn't post a pic from the side, but I ended up raising the speedo a bit with some spacers and added the joker machine handlebar clamp with integrated lights as I have a 5" riser in there. Looks really good and helped with my bars being up a little higher. I picked picked up the DK Customs coil, ignition and tank lift but not sure i'm going to do it. I also really love the little black spikes for bolt covers on handlebar and engine. Looks cool.

The bars look great but even with the 5" rise your back starts to hurt after 45 mins of riding. I'm already thinking about going to mini apes or something different, as much as I love the look its just not great for longer periods of riding. I love the mirrors even though they are really tiny but the look is really coming together. I drove my buddies 1200 today and my bike is gutless so i'm really leaning to the 1200 kit now.

The shine was only from camera.

Looks good, I don't care for the tank lifts or speedo relocations either. The bars look cool but you gotta have some pullback. Is your ac stock? youll need to upgrade that before a 1200 kit. Other than that the only problem is you let it sit long enough to take pictures, I'd be riding it!
