New here...
Hello all,
I'm new to the forum and am already addicted - there's some great stuff on here. I've been riding most of my life and have had a couple Harley's over the years, but I just bought a brand new Iron last week and found myself checking this site out for info and like minded riders. I got her in Sand Cammo - special ordered her. That style with that color is perfect to me. I'm always interested in learning more. I've attached a couple pics of my new baby - she's still completely stock - but I plan on making her mine. I had a Hugger for years and although they have similarities, they are totally different bikes. I love the Iron - I plan on getting a low-profile Solo seat in the next week or so - http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...-16-5153804--1 - a basic Passenger Pillion - http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...-16-5173410--1 - a Cobra Powrflo Intake and some black Sideshots... I figure by Christmas, I'll have her close to where I want her. Oh, and I'm going to put a black Derby cover on her too. Beyond that, I'm not sure, but I love what some of you guys have done to your Sportsters...
Anyway, I just wanted to say hey, and I looking forward to being on this board. Please feel free to post ideas on mods to my Iron and of you know a cheap Passenger Pillion, let me know.
If any of you are in South Louisiana, let me know...

Good choice on the Iron. Mine started as a '15 Iron too. The Sand Cammo is a really great color.
Good luck with the mods. I like the seat you're looking at. They look great. In the past, HD seats haven't been the best options. Cheaper foam was an issue. They've made changes to their seats though. I haven't tried the new versions.
Before you buy the seat, check out Sick Saddles. It's a small one-man shop in Tennessee. He has a few seat designs as stock, but can make what you want. Surprisingly not more expensive than HD seats.
Anyway, I find that it's always nice to have options.

I really love the V&Hs sideshots, personally. I've heard the short shots scrape sometimes too. Thanks...

Welcome to the forum.
Nice looking color combo.
I have one of those solo seats that came off the OL's bike before it was traded in. I haven't looked at in a year or so, but I remember it being in good condition. If you're interested in it, shoot me a private message.
Also, I think I have a P-Pad, too, but I might have sold it. I'll take a look, if you think you'd consider buying used, but good condition, saddle components.
This is how it looked on her '04 1200C (with 4.5 glln tank)
