I like the new Sporty springer seat...that brown looks cool. They must have changed the location of the ECM for 2010...looks like the hole in the fender is gone.
An option for black would be nice though, to go with the whole blacked-out Iron 883 thing...
Only other negative is the pricing; $270 for the seat and ANOTHER $230 for the springs/hardware kit...!
Looked like the stock derby cover is now coming in chrome.
Yep, just looked on the H-D website; chrome it is...
Which makes absolutely ZERO sense!
Now, when I gets me a 2010 Iron 883, I gotta go find an aftermarket black derby cover, or consider having the Dark Custom covers for both the derby & timer covers. I like the look of the Dark Custom cover on the timer side, but not really sure about the derby side.

I installed the Dark Custom derby & timing cover on my Iron. I thought it was an interesting choice to go chrome, the matching flat black derby cover looks nice ... just makes you want to change it out quicker, & oh yeah ... spend more money faster.
Don't get too excited about the new bikes. I was told by a dealer that they were going to delay production on most all of them to clear out the remaining 2009 inventory. Dunno if that was just sales BS, or the truth.
