Due to the economy I had to cheapen up my payments but ended up on top after all said and done. Went from a Super Glide to a Electra Glide then the Iron. Times get tough. Good news is I got out the door with the Iron plus the 1200 converter plus labor for a mere $7100. That also includes an additional one year warrenty making a total of 3 year warrenty. To tell the absolute truth I think I might be very happy on this sinister lady. My payments are cut in half and my smile is twice as wide. I guess I'll be hanging out in the Sporty section now! Love the Iron with the 1200 kit!

Yeah, I did get a great deal and HD does have to push out their 10's or they get penilized by HD on their incoming 11's.
I've been looking at some of your Irons on this site and some of the bikes are just plain sick! Looking forward to riding this scoot.

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
Beats the hell out of hearing someone crying about the bank or H-D Credit comming after them for a bike they can no longer afford.
