Hey fellow Iron owners!
I've been eyeballing this forum and found some great information from all the other Iron owners out there. Thanks for all the advice on here.
Just recently got some mods done to my bike:
-Vance & Hines Short Shots
-Roland Sand Venturi Air Cleaner
-Screaming Eagle Super Tuner
-Dyno Tuned and pushing 58 HP
I also added an engine guard, licks solo bag, rear fender rack and flipped the mirrors.
The HD dealer here in Marysville, Wa. told me that I had to buy a signal light relocation kit if I was to flip my mirrors but I learned on here that you don't need to.

Any pictures of the front of the bike like to see that bag.
Both bikes looks great.

The mirror flip is easy and you'll kick yourself when you find out how easy it is. Take both mirrors off, before you swap sides, take a look at the turn signals. You'll see that they are on a ball and socket type joint. It takes a small amount of pressure to "swivel" the turn signal toward the handle bar. After its moved mount the mirror and fine tune it to get it where you want it. Make sure neither mirror hits the tank. You'll have to pass one mirror through the cables but it goes right between 'em real easy.
This literally takes less than 10 minutes to do start to finish.
As for break in, my dealer told me a variety of cruising and nothing above 50mph for the first 100 miles. No lugging the engine, or massive rev's. Only 91 octane or better. AND LET IT WARM UP, make sure the head feels warm to the touch before heading out and you should be good to go.

to all the guys running drag bars i have a question. which company produces the best drag bar? bitwell? licks? i'm not the biggest fan of inverting the stock handlebars just because i don't like how low they sit compared the the gas tank. are there any drag bars out there that will sit pretty close to the top of the tank?
