Anyone?
Does anyone have a denim silver iron with white walls on it? Love the look, but can't find any pics for reference. I've got a silver one, love it because everyone seems to rock the black. Just want an idea of what it may look like! Thanks

Sandman, I have a "Brilliant Denim Silver" Iron also, and I too looked into the whitewall thing, but IMHO, unless you go all rockabilly with apes, sparkly tank, struts, fishtail tipped pipes, big headlight, chopped rear fender, sissy bar, tank lift, and spring seat, the bike just doesn't look right with just white walls - so I $hitcanned the idea, 'cause that isn't the look I'm lookin' for. But nevermind what I think, it's what you think that's important, and if you like it, make it so!!

I hear that Drew, it definately takes a certain look to pull it off. It looks dynamite on the denim black, but I'll keep my silver! Don't see those around much, and I like that! Thank for the input bro.

...in respect to the denim colors...back when I first got interested in the Iron, it seemed that the demin black color was the choice; unfortunately, it was everyone elses choice too!! And after looking over a nice shiney new [bad pun I know, LOL] dull black one at the stealership I shook it off and found myself glancing over at a used 2010 Iron in Brilliant Denim Silver, with mids, V&H staggered short shots [what else], and 3k miles on it. Truth be told, I didn't like it at first! But the force was strong with this one and a week later I was back at the stealership, looking at the silver one again. The salesman informed me that he had another one in the back, an '09, with "some issues" but with less miles and forwards [I'm 6'-0"], so I took a looksie, and although it had rusted front and rear tins and a dented tank [which incidentally came off the 2010 Iron in the showroom] I negotiated a deal where I bought the bike for $6k and they were to give me brand new HD fenders and tank when they came in [ordered previously to replace the rusted/dented items]. Bang. Zoom. Deal-e-o!!
'Happy as a lark with the bike and yes, the silver bikes are rare, as I have not seen one single example on the road either before or since I purchased mine. I think the silver almost disappears against the black of the rest of the bike, making it look even lower than it already is. Post up some pics of yours when you get the chance!
Cheers man!!

I have a 2009 Iron 883N in denim silver, bought used 6 months ago with Keystone handlebars, V&H short shots and Kuryakyn round air cleaner.
I am thinking about white walls when I get new tires on the bike, I think the look still works with the silver color without going "all rockabilly" on the rest of the bike (flaked paint job, studded leather bags, whatever).
