i LOVE the HD lettering on the 2012 tank
im gutted i got the 2011 model. i know its only a tiny thing, but it breaks my heart every time i see the tank of a 2012 Iron.

i hope you realize that the money you spend on the bike will be nothing to what you will eventually want to spend on upgrades lol

Oh I know that already. I'm already looking for a 2 up seat and looking to get forward controls. Thinking about the sundowner seat and want to find a back rest to match the black denim.

you could just get a standard gloss black or chrome backrest n spray it with matt black paint. it might be easier doing it that way
