Default Iron 883 progression

Hello everyone!

This is my 2010 iron 883, it's been a year since I bought it and I feel it's time to give it a page.

1st day I got it

V&H exhaust, 48 seat


Black tranny covers

Nightster wheels, Harley drag bars, speedo relocated

Most current, same as above but exhaust wrapped


Now I'm debating if to chop the fender or not, I do ride with the wife from time to time.

Comments/criticism are welcome and I'm also open to suggestions!
Enjoy!

I wouldn't change a thing. The spoked wheels, 48 seat and wrap are the ****. Very simple, clean and super cool!

Looks very nice.

You aren't the first person I've noticed that has been able to swap the mag wheels for nightster spokes. Is this a pretty common trade?

Its relatively common. I posted on XL forums in there efi specific era wtt, wts, wtb section. I just so happen to get lucky enough to find a local to trade my mags for his spokes. Couldn't be happier... just post up here and on XL forums you never know what may come of it.

Thanks on all the comments! I will be chopping my fender just don't know when, I would love to see one in person before actually doing it. (maybe get some help from that person lol)
As far as the wheels goes its pretty common like stated above, it took me almost a year to find someone local to trade but it was worth the wait.

What handlebars do you have on the bike? My bike has some of the same mods, and I really like the look of the handlebars. Was that easy to change?

It's a HD 32' drag bar, it takes about 45-60min to install them, not hard at all.
