Will, it's worth the wait for the Iron. I found the Iron in April, ordered it in June and waited until September. You gotta tune out and then closer to the time, start getting excited.
I can't imagine a 1200 conversion would be in the 13300 price. Otherwise they'd all do it. I reckon it will be extra $$ for sure.

Cheers

Signals are factory. Those covers came out last year and had to have them. I didn't really like them at first, but I think they really help the bike out.
Thanks for the compliments.

Default Pretty much finished

My rig with new "American" rear sprocket and a set of Touring Air shocks with Tamarck 1 3/4" lowering blocks. Pretty smooth at zero PSI compared to my stock Iron shocks. Hope you all are well.
Peace, sftosendai aka Court

Default Headlight Change

Has anyone changed the stock headlight to a billet style or otherwise? I was wondering what this takes and what I would need to do to switch it out. Any advice is appreciated!

Lots of people have done this mod. They usually drill a hole in the bottom triple tree for the mount on the new headlight.
