Boots....

 

I don't know that boots would have saved him. I ride in boots but I am not scared to ride in tennis shoes. The biggest problem I have when wearing shoes is that I miss gears because I am not used to picking my foot up that high.

 

Hi everyone,

how are you going to clean black matte of Iron to keep it matte not shiny? do you have any method given by HD or just by practicing different ways of cleanning?

thanks

Me likey, Me likey !. Saw it yesterday for the first time. Fell in love with it which looks so much nicer than the Nightster. The only problem is that I'm a big guy 6'-2" and weigh 280 lbs. I could make that Black Denim Iron like I was riding on a little kiddie's bicycle, LOL.

If I didn't care what others would think of me...I'd change the handlebars to Jesse James Ape style, take the front fender off, get the high performance screaming eagle air filter and crazy loud pipes to make the bike looking like a Bad *** !.

Sticking with my Ultra,

luck time and money, I've got four harley bikes in my garage. I'd buy this one too, but the dealer here is asking for 10,500 out the door. 1,000 over msrp.

 

I got mine for 8700.00 out the door in South Jersey.

 

What dealer??? I know Ocean sold one. Were you the lucky person? Just asking as I need to shop around come May for a good deal on one so I can still get sideshots, PC, A/C and forwards and still come in under 10k. I'll be doing it all myself.

 

Why the hell is it that the older traditional half helmet/skull cap crowd always give the younger guys crap about not wearing boots for safety???

I'm military and wear combat boots all damned day at work...ride in skate shoes or vans or converse all stars. I just think it's funny to be more concered about your toe nails than your teeth.

I like the 883 Iron. Will a "1200 Kit" iron out perform a stock 1200 sportster? I know that most twin cam 95" builds will smoke a stock 96".

 

No Iron for me but in regards to this insurance premium thing....The insurance through State Farm on my Deluxe is exactly identical to my Sportster. Strange but true.

 

That sucks about losing your heel. All I was saying is that the old school biker (not all) at times seems to give us new schoolers strange looks for not "dressing the part." That is a form of alienation, and it has kept a lot of people off of these wonderful bikes. Please dress according to road conditions (of course), but also, you should feel comfortable. It's just that alot of the new kids don't feel as natural wearing big clunky boots. Of course, one should always proceed with caution when operating your scoot...ride like the wind...
