2018 Iron 1200 or Roadster?
And why? Seems like you get slightly better ground clearance on a roadster. Not sure about tank size differences between the 2. I know the front suspension on the roadster might be better as well. the 1200 iron is $9,999 While the the roadster is $11,299. What is the reason for the extra $1,300 on a roadster? On that note... now that the iron is a 1200.. why is the 48 still more expensive? Surely a fat front tire cannot really be a reason to charge 1,300 more for a motorcycle.

I would go with the roadster as well. It already has dual discs up front and a better suspension than the Iron. It will cost you more than $1300 in modifications to get the same performance on the Iron. I only say that because I've put a good bit more than that into my Iron 883 and I still don't have dual discs up front.
