Just got a 2015 Forty Eight and now the questions
#11
I am surprised your thinking of the 48 solo seat its really very uncomfortable and can not keep in the seat when giving a little throttle. There way better solo sets out there but im sure your like me the budget. I can not see my self forking out 250-300 for a solo seat.
Anyway, I think I've tracked down a couple different solos for my new Iron, but if you ever change your mind or want to sell it cheap, let me know. Keep riding...

Yeah thats why I go the sporty for solo riding and i just love the looks and feel. I want to get an iron833 seat but yet to hear anyone tell me it will fit with no issues. So I have to wait until i have 100% confirmation it will fit. I might just go to HD and ask them to see if they can swap a iron seat on the forty just to make me feel better as I have found three new ones on ebay for 70 bucks.
I'm always open to varying solo seats within reason. However, I've ridden several 48s and 72s and I love that little seat - it's not for long trips, but it fits me fine riding to work and around town. I love that look too - especially on the Iron. I want more than one solo - I like options, but I hate 2 up seats on Irons (and 48s and 72s). I like the look of sleek solos on bobbers and choppers.

Thanks for the replies I will go look for a longer brake line so I can get these HD mini apes installed ASAP. I dont want to miss out on anymore summer riding.
Also thanks for the info DKcustoms I shopped with you guys for almost everything I had on my Iron883 and Tech guys where awesome when I had questions.
I am sure I will be hitting your store once again for performance needs after I figure out what Exhaust mufflers and Intake I will go with most likely will pick up the bobber style stage 1 intake system from HD pipes will have to wait and see need to see what calls me I just want a little more noise but don't want be breaking the bank to much.
After that I will be getting my new tank painted and ready for install. I love these sporties so much ways to make it your own.

on the 48 there is a reserve R that comes up on the speedo at that point you have 20 more miles worth of riding so you can get to a station easily unless your way out in the boonies.
Also I invested in a solo bag with tank bottle to make sure if I am pushing it to far I will not get a little more to get me to a gas pump. as I dont llive out in the woods but am out in farm land but there s gas stations roughly every 15-30 miles for most place I would ride anyways.

Yes they do just have to do a few mods and your good to go.. I did a 500 mile trip on my 2012 iron 883 no issues felt great. I had to make stops but that was fine by me and made it more fun.
But we all have our own feelings on what can and can not work/mix also environment plays a good part in it as well.
To each their own.
