The bigger pegs give my boots more room.

Default Iron 883 with conversion

I'm the proud new owner of an 2009 Iron 883. Its got the vance and hines black shortshots (so does everyone elses, i see. lol). I also got the SE 883 to 1200 conversion kit with the SEPRT put on before I bought it. just in case anyone is interested the dyno info said: Max Power = 73.51 hp and Max Torque = 67.50.

the labor from the dealer $1023, and everything else was HD MSRP. dunno if it was a good price for the labor or not but since they did it when i bought the bike, its still covered under the factory warranty.

*edited*

Finally got my V&H SSs put on along with the air cleaner and tuner - the bike sounds so much better now. (it's nice to be able to hear it lol) I alos got forwards put on, and even though I wasn't sure about them I'll be sticking with them for now. Now that I've been getting used to them I started to see the benefits of having them kind of outweigh the cons. Sure the twisties won't be as fun, but at least I feel a little more stable on the highway.

Dude. I know people hate hearing this but you got ripped off. Dealership by my house is a total rip off and the only charged $500 for the lador. :/
