2009Iron-

That gas cap looks sweeeeeeeeeeet man!

On another note, you said you downgraded from a Dyna...I'm actually surprised to see that. If you're wanting more power, find a shop that specializes in head porting and such. You'll get more power/speed for around the same amount of money that you're going spend on the 1200 kit. That's what I am going to do.
Here is one shop down the road from me who I plan on having them do a package deal up for me hopefully this winter.

Change oil and primary fluid, inspect and re-torque critical fasteners among others.

Default 2010 Iron 883 in OZ

My understanding is that a number of models including the 883 Low will be discontinued because of the downturn but the Iron (and I think the Custom) will still be available.

Lisa, Gil

I'm #2 on the list at my local dealer (Trivett in Alexandria)-I've been told by their inventory control clerk to look for mine hopefully sometime in October.

Pricing is $13,500 AUD OTR.

I WILL be getting the 1200 conversion kit and having it installed before I take delivery.

I'm from the US, so most of my other accessories will be purchased from the US and shipped to me here in Zetland/Sydney.

I CANNOT WAIT

Will

My Iron. Not many mods yet. Just the flyshield, tank bra, and engine guard.

Slip-on pipes from Cycle Shack will do you good. They're about the cheapest and best sounding that you can go IMO.

I was curious if anyone had any suggestions for pipes to heat wrap. I don't want to have to change anything from stock but the pipes and maybe get a somewhat deeper tone. Also it would be stupid to buy a higher end set of pipes only to wrap em.... Any suggestions? Also they need to fit with the HD forward controls
