Post Whats the right intake for my Iron 883
I am hopefully getting ready to buy some V&H Shorty pipes for my Iron 883 and wondering which intake i should get. I see so many different kinds out there. Does it matter or not which intake i get?

There are some that perform better than others so they say, really it is all about personal preference and the look you want.

If you change your exhaust and AC don't forget to richen up your fuel mixture, you will be running very lean.
