Thanks. Mine are from Nash motorcycles in Vancouver. They have some sick bars up there. There 14 inch gimp bars. Here's the link- http://nashmotorcycle.com/index.php?id=parts

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.

Haha, you were right about the mirror flip. Man did I feel like an idiot. Deff a 100% better. Now if I can just get along with the clutch I'll be good to go.

Still waiting for my Iron to get here in Korea. In the meantime I've been stopping by the dealership here just to stare at it. I was considering flipping the bars to get a feel for the lower stance before actually paying for drag bars, but I noticed a rigid type of cable housing beneath the throttle (please excuse my ignorance of bike anatomy). Can anybody here help me understand what exactly this is, and would this have to be moved or adjusted to flip the bars? It really looks like it would get in the way.
