Default 2010 iron

hey, this is my first post. I have a 2010 Iron, picked up Feb 2010. Right out of the crate. Had zero miles on it.

New stuff so far: put on some teardrop mirrors, blacked out the front & rear signals, quick remove rear seat & rear pegs (when the wife rides)...

Here's some photos:

I just added fuelpak, V&H Shortshots and Air Filter. My god this bikes sounds perfect. Took it out today for the first time since adding the pipes and have to say it is incredible how much it transformed the bike.

Very happy. I also flipped the mirrors!!! They actually work very nice this way.

Just picked up a black Iron last week. No pics cuz it's still at the shop. Gotta find someone to give me a ride to work tomorrow so I can ride it home. All stock at the moment, but that won't last long. Forward controls coming asap so my big *** can ride it. Plu smany other things in the works.

The best sounding exhaust is the V & H Outlaw pipes. loud as the 'shots, but with a deeper nastier tone. And being a 2 into 1 more back pressure, and thus more power.
