iron a/c
I won a couple fantasy football leagues this year and I'm going to spend my winnings on a new a/c for the scoot. I have a 2012 iron, would this work for my bike?

It all depends on what you like. I'm going with this one.

The K&N was recommended by a member here but finalized for me for a couple of reasons; first, the stock ham cans are ok but not my cup of tea and the round filters just look small and chinsy, and secondly, the performance gain with this A/C is guaranteed, and because the looks of it are bitchin' being in black w/maroon filter, which I feel compliment the black of the Iron/engine and my brilliant silver denim paint nicely.
$259 is a good price, so I'd recommend you go for it!

I run the exact same thing, the K&N 63-1126 in black, on my '09 Iron and love it. It's not really noisy and dispite the radius of the intake tube seemingly being "in the way" of your knee while riding, it really isn't, as it protrudes no more than the stock ham can in relation to your knee position while riding. I'm 6' and 225lbs and run forwards so that might be a reason why for me it isn't a problem, as my knee is lower than it would be with mids.

Yes it will work but you might consider the HD/SE Heavy Breather instead as you don't have to deal with venting the blow-back via fuel hose to atmosphere or other method. Surdyke has a good price: http://www.surdyke.com/AdvPartInfo.a...umber=29080-09.
I use the horse-shoe breather as shown in the K&N ad but some don't like running a fuel hose or catch-can to rout the blow-back away from the bike. I don't mind the horse-shoe breather with fuel hose but I figured you might want to consider a second option incase you weren't aware of the breather venting situation. The HD/SE Heavy Breather routes the blow-back into the engine which some people find undesirable but thats the stock setup. The Part number for the Sportsters is 29080-09. The pic shows the removable sock over the element but it uses a K&N element.
