It kills the looks of a nice 21" spoke...I keep it on my Sporty, my Shovel....nahh.
I commuted daily in Socal traffic with a jockey shift and floot clutch on the same Sporty because I wanted to clean up my bars and get rid of a clutch lever. It was cool but it kept breaking the cable so I ended up switching back eventually. I still miss my clean bars.

I have a 2017 Harley Iron xl883n. When I first bought it, I replaced the stock seat with a Mustang Solo seat, put forward controls on and installed a V&H FP3.
Last week I removed the front fender, and the belt guard (upper and lower), then put on an Arlen Ness stage 1 big sucker air intake. Today I did a tank lift (1.5") and removed the plastic wire covers and did a wire tuck (my first time, looks ok). Then I removed the horn and mount.
I plan on ordering a LAF Ground Shaker exhaust to replace the stock exhaust.
Next year I will put a S&S Hooligan 883cc to 1200cc plus cams upgrade kit in.
What else should I do? Need suggestions. Looking to remove unnecessary crap to make this skinny girl lighter.
Oh, I'm new to Harley's and the forum (1st thread, 3rd post).

So if I've read this thread correctly (admit I just quickly skimmed
the first few pages), you're looking to remove 'stuff' to make
the bike lighter ?
IMHO, there's not a whole lot you can do(quickly/easily).
Chop the rear fender, cut the struts down, and consider a
Lithium battery (much smaller size & loose ~7-8lbs) are
about the easiest things to do fairly quickly.
Do a 1200-1275cc upgrade, the performance increase you
get from that may change your mind as for the need to 'remove stuff'.
good luck,
T.
