I will have to take a Dyna for a test ride and see how it feels. I have had numerous people advise me on going for a Dyna over a Sporty, like I said the only reason I am hesitant is because the Dyna always seemed like too much bike for such an experienced rider whose only experience is two years on an 883 and it's been six years since I've owned I bike on top of that. I can afford I Dyna and would not desire to do anywhere near as much to it as I would a Sporty, I'd do pipes, intake and maybe an aftermarket seat and be thrilled. The HD1 factory customization thing looks like an interesting route for a Dyna as well.

How does this build list look?
All of this would be theoretically installed by the dealer and added into the finance price. Labor costs are not included in this list. I will also be receiving a Military discount and no tax due to purchase in DE.
Tell me what you think please, all advice and opinions welcome good and bad!
2013 Iron 883- $8,000
Add Ons-
833-1200 Conversion- $1,200.00
HD Slotted Six Spoke Black Wheels 16R/19F- $850.00
V&H Black Short Shots- $480.00
Burly Black Slammer Kit- $300.00
RSD Black Ops Prostep Internal Wire Handlebars- $280.00
Chrome Glow Black Anodize LED Front Signals- $244.00
RSD Black Ops Headlight/Gauge Relocater- $250.00
Headwinds Black 1 3/8 Rear Turn Signals- $215.00
V&H Naked VO2 Air Kit- $140.00
Parts Total- $3,960.00
Bike Total- $11,960.00
All prices are from HD and J&P Catalog
I figure it's easier to have all of this added into my finance price rather than taking forever to save for it. I have very good credit and using the HD finance calculator I can stay under $300.00 a month easy. I will either use my own bank or HD, whomever offers me the best APR obviously and I will probably put around $2,000.00 down as well.
What do you think?
Good idea?
Bad idea?
Change some stuff up?

What's wrong with instant gratification ? As long as your not going to be looking to trade it in or sell it in 2 or 3 years. No one is guaranteed tomorrow so you may as well enjoy life and get what you want today" Don't let some unknown person on a forum talk you out of what YOU want !
My wife wanted a Sportster all blinged up when she traded her Streetglide. We put so much stuff on it from the dealer that we nearly traded them even for the Streetglide. And they gave us a heckuva deal on the labor and it's all warranteed when installed at time of purchase. Now I do most of my own labor but at the time it saved me a lot of work having the dealer install all the parts she added.
And personally I own a Road King and a Sportster and I wouldn't trade the ride of the Sportster for any Dyna. I have ridden the Dyna's and I wouldn't trade you even up for any of the Dyna line of bikes.

imma go a different route for you to think about...
dyna, sporty, custom.. whatever...
I love sportsters,,,,,, first and foremost....
ONLY, buy a sportster, because, thats what you want!!! if you buy a new 883 cause you think you can do the payment thing.... then you are throwing away money...
dont buy an 883 and put a 1200 kit in it.... waste.... buy a 1200.... pipes and tuner.... all the ot her stuff is a waste..
A dyna switch back.....great bike..... straight off hd.com, with 2000 down is 259ish per month.... already has removable bags and shield...
Finance your pips (Samason) and fuel manager into the bike.. do the rest in time and have an absolutely great bike to start with...
A STREETbob with 0 down was only 272 at 15.49 financing...
i just did 15,999 otd price.. ttt included mostly.... was only 292ish
Get a sportster if you want a sportster, if not, you will be unhappy, and have wasted a ton!!!
there is a surplus of used sporty 1200s, and dynas out there ready to be snatched up cheap, with most of the heavy lifting already done!!

It's a waste to buy an 883 and convert to 1200. Buy a 1200. I dont know you but from what you typed I'd say don't buy a Sportster. Your more a Dyna or Softail guy. Why? Because your talking making an 883 bigger. So Ill bet a 1200 won't satisfy you for very long. Better wait a little while longer and get a bike that will keep you happy the longest. Id say your a softail slim or something like and you will have 103 inches.

I'm look at it like I will either spend this much on the bike over time and slowly get all the stuff I want or pay some interest to get it all right away. I fully understand and appreciate all of the advice about the finance.
I had a 2005 883 that I had to sell when I joined the Navy active duty in 2007 and have been dying for a new bike ever since. I've had six years to carefully select everything I like and would want to do to a bike so it's not just a spur of the moment thing. I really appreciate all of the advice and opinions.

It's your money, but this sounds like a real bad idea man. Sounds like you're gonna make the bad decision anyway though since everyone else already said the same stuff and you chose to explain why this is a good idea.

The only thing I can see that you have not considered is the SEAT. Stock sportster seats suck. As for the financing, expect HD financing to be upwards of 10% and probably closer to 18% no matter how good your credit scores are. You would be much better off using Navy Credit Union or your bank.
