Thanks for the info. I know the 883 Iron is only cosmetically different than the 883's of past, but I just like the look of the Iron 883. With that said, I'm going to look into a used nightster, and a used street bob.

Thanks! I had to edit that last post because I left out the Iron before the 883! If you know of any Nightsters for sale in or around NJ let me know!
