Today I didn't do much to my Sportster, largely because I ain't got one yet. I am purchasing one this week, however, and I'd love your thoughts on the following dilemma: 2010 Iron w/ 2300 miles ($6,000) v. 2012 Iron w/ 1100 miles ($6,200). The only two differences I've been able to identify thus far are 1) 2012 has a seat that's .4" taller than the 2010, and 2) 2012 has a curved HD logo versus a straight one on the 2010. Which would you pick, and why?

you may get more responses if you create a new thread thats appropriate for your question... but the 2012 is the obvious choice.
the bikes are pretty much the same price, i can't see any reason to chose the older bike with twice the miles
good luck with your purchase
I changed the primary oil, checked the chain for the half inch bend. Changed the derby gasket and o-rings.
I beat the tar out of a bored out T-27 torx bolt on the clutch cover (I didn't bore it out, I bought it that way)... I will be replacing those t27 torx with something else. Those suck.
I shined the cast aluminum wheels with a red 3m pad and some Mystery oil.
I took aluminum foil and water and got the surface rust off the pipes.
I ordered a new air filter, a new 90 degree angle rubber gas tank connector. Took off the tank, emptied old gas and cleaned the screen.
Waiting on a new set of keys.
Upcoming: Battery install, handlebar swap, front fender painted, crank her up, oil change, spark plug change, new tires, ride!
Daughter wanted saddle bags for her 1200 low which we got her for Christmas, I didn't like the options for rear turn signal relocation so after some searching I found that I could do what we really wanted to do and installed the Street Glide rear signals.
Very pleased with the result.

Haven't seen that before, like how that looks. Could you give some more info on that, have to drill holes, splice wires, whatever? I hate the way the stock rear turn signals are mounted on sporties, been looking into alternatives; even with a glide in the garage, I like to go far enough with the sporty sometimes it would be nice to have some bags.

Smooth Cruiser You'd probably have better luck posting this as a separate post under the sportster forum... many people don't read and reply here... they just post and go...
