Default iron 883

This is an amazing bike! Since the weather was so good today, I took it to work and everyone that saw it loved the look of the bike and sound of the vance and hines. I have the se heavy breather and power commander 5 to put on tomorrow. I'll i let you guys know how it goes. Next mod, FOWARD CONTROLS, PROGRESSIVE 412. Tell me what you guys have planned

I used to own a Sporty years ago and it still was one of my favorite bikes. I own a Cross Bones now, but man alive....that Iron 883 is HOT!

I would love to own one!

Like I said, right now bike is all stock. Mid-controls - Doesn't seem to be an issue. Wanted to ride it for awhile before I make any changes to be sure of what I want to do.

I had forward controls put on when I bought it. I'm going for the black vance and hines next. I like the way that looks, Float. I will put up photos later.

The helmet is AGV Dragon Helmet. I love it. it looks like a pilots helmet.
Anyways, i just put on the SE heavy breather and the power commander 5. The pc5 made a huge difference.
