I bought a 48 Seat off this forum from a guy for 60 bucks shipped. If you have the time to wait for one to pop up youll prolly get a better deal than if your hunten for it... Good luck, there are plenty of them out there for sale!

Basically all you do is take the mirrors off and swap them - left to right, right to left, there is a bolt that you take off and just mount it back on top.
When you take off the bolts there are little rubber caps on the end of the mirror stalk that covers the threads. Watch for those - very easy to drop and loose. I dropped one and it took about half hour to find in parking lot.
As far as function they work great, now instead of looking at your arm the point of view is basically at your hips so you can definitely see whats behind you.
When you go to tighten the mirrors I suggest turning the bars to make sure the mirrors don't hit the tank. The turn signals look as if they will get in the way but they are mounted on a swivel joint? so you can just push them over to make room.
Also I had to thread the right mirror between the throttle cables to avoid binding anything.
Try the swap, very easy and works great. Just took a little getting used to looking lower to see behind you and it really cleans up the top of the bike. Sorry for rambling on about this but you'll see what I mean.

Pic #3 shows how I ran the stalk between the throttle cables.
Pics 7-9 are the little cap I mentioned, also I'm going to get some black paint or nail polish and color the bolt to hide it since it's shiny.
Last pic is of the forward controls I had installed when I picked mine up.
Next in plans after the daughters wedding are new footpegs, hand grips - the black tribal design.
NHRS 1250cc conversion will definitely be coming later also.
Also tossing around the idea of some sort of pinstriping in orange/silver

Nice thread. Once I can find a decent second job it won't be long before I make a down payment on a new iron. I've been working on my credit for a little while now, I just want steady stable hrs so I know I'll always have money coming in. Construction gets slow sometimes, without warning.

Default Lick's 10" Z

ANYONE WITH LICKS 10" Z BARS ---

How do you like them?
Comfortable?
Would 12" Z Bars be too big?
Thoughts on Z Bars with the Headlight Fairing on?
Anyone also know where/websites I can get a solo spring seat for 2012 Iron, that includes the seat pan, and seat?

Thanks ya'll.

Also, if anyone in San Diego, So Cal, wants to ride out, let me know!
