My Iron will remain mostly stock, I spent a ton on my bagger and I just wanted a little bike for tooling around the beach and camping areas
Had the Mustang fastback, but it wasn't comfortable for my daughter or wife for longer than 20 minutes. I have the Mustang solo and matching pillion now. Much more comfortable for my passenger.

Fresh outta the trailer just after purchasing it
Bought this in mid August and put a couple hundred kliks on it. Thinking on a better seat for the spring. Supposed to have a stage 2 done to it....but no way to really prove it....other than dyno it?

Here he told the girl, forgive for the photos of mobile, the moment I can try to take pictures abroad.









A greeting.

The only thing I still want to do, is lowering the rear. The sets you can buy for lowering do not work on a 2017 because the springs are to wide. I had such a kit and need to resell it.



V&H shirt shots stagered, Fuelpack FP3, mirrors flipped, skull timer cover,
K&N airfilter




[I]Chin spoiler, skull derby, tacho relocated, homemade licence plate holder,
swingarm bag,


170 rear Shinko tire



Led headlight with big angel eye, smoked blinkers

My 17' - First Harley, not first motorcycle.

  • Flipped the mirrors.
  • Danmoto 2 into 1
  • Arleness Big Sucker
  • Swingarm bag
  • - I have not re-mapped the bike, runs very well. I could tell it would benefit from it, but until Nightrider puts out a product they are happy with, I am confident running it as is. When I called Nightrider they told me to hold onto it, and the engineer for their product explained to me the closed loop system and how the ECU will compensate (not to ideal performance) enough to keep the bike running plenty cool.
Will be doing a tank lift and some raised bars, not sure how much. I come from a motocross background so dont want my arms way up in the air. Also need to get a passenger seat, passenger pegs and a small sissy bar.... Maybe.

Got it from previous owner like this, who bought it from the dealership with these changes. Most notable are the bars, seat, and slip ons.
