Ok, I'm with ya. Thought you might've been thinking of a GSXR inverted
front fork setup (or similar).

I'm thinking of a mid-glide using extra-fat 49mm twin rotor forks from a
SuperLow. Sure, it'd require custom trees, but I just think that'd look really tough.

Heeeeeeeellllllll no, I wouldn't blaspheme a hard piece of American Ion with rice rocket parts and pieces. LOLOLOL I think your setup would rock, but I think you're right about the cost. From some research, I think I can do my idea for about a grand, maybe less depending on how I source the parts and who does the install work.

I've seen a few threads on here talking about the Vulcan parts kits that have almost all of what I'd need. Something like that is how I'd go at it, I think. That's a good bit down the road, however. I had enough trouble selling the Daymaker to the Mrs. LOL

Later!

How did you cut the frame so far forward to increase the "bobber" look with rear fender?

Smile New Iron 883 Owner

Hey guys! Had my Iron for about a month now. I really like it so far. New to riding so can't really compare to anything else. I'm having fun with it and can't wait to really get out on the streets and see what she can do

I've been riding for a while now and recently hopped off the sport bike scene, I rode a 06 R6 which had me racing on the track but later caught myself doing that in traffic.

I bought the bike completely stock from the dealer in the winter, here's some of the mod's that I've done so far, Keystone handlebars, Speedo, Ignition & Coil relocation, 2 inch tank lift, Vance & Hines exhaust, Heavy breather intake, Spring seat solo setup, Custom mounted sissy bar & Chopped fender... I just ordered a set of Burly Slammer shocks which I can't wait to install.



Iron-Sun,

How did you mount that sissy bar to the chopped fender? Thinking about doing the same.
