2012 Iron 883 v&h short shots
Just got the v&h short shots ordered. I was planning to install them myself to save money on labor from the stealership. Any pointers or tips? I've been looking at the stock exhaust to where I would be unbolting from the heads. Some look like it may be real tight to get in there with a regular socket wrench. Any tips would be appreciated.

seat colour
The primary seat is one from HD:
54373-10 Solo Spring Saddle - Black Leather $269.95
54074-10 Spring Seat Installation Kit $229.95
Then i was searching eBay for an unrelated part and came across this one that matches perfectly:
H-D Sportster Pillion To Match Spring Solo 54373-10 $175.00 made by http://www.sterlingsca.com/default.asp

Just picked up my 2012 iron a week ago. Feel like I died and went to dark custom heaven. I got the V&H staggered shorties put on right away (with baffles) and the HD straight drag bar. I'm new to the whole riding game and this is my first bike. Quite honestly, it might just be the only bike I'll ever want. I'll post some pics soon.

Hey guys. Any recommendations where to get the v&h shortshots for the best deal at a good site?
The best I've found is:
http://www.easternperformance.com/pr...d-04%252d11-XL
They're $379 on Easter Performance w/ free shipping.
Also should I get new exhaust gaskets for my install?
Planning to do it myself, is it pretty easy?
