You could modify your own mufflers if you wanted to stay with chrome exhaust.
I have my pipes that I drilled at 5/8 new S.E A/C and 14xied. Runs like magic.
I found a guy locally that would do the black ceramic for $ 250.
I thought it was a little high to paint the slipps on...
You should look at the xied, makes a big difference verses tuner on stage 1.

enjoy the ride !

Default black pipes
Im about to get my very own iron and I am going for the all blacked out look. I was wondering which would be the better choice the Vh black short shorts or the big radius 2into2. I was also looking into the bassani sweeper. Which one would be the loudest and add performance?

That's all you need, 10" struts + fender chop will leave about 1/4" of room between the tire and the fender.. be advised though, I had to remove the fender insert because the tire was rubbing (I've heard not everyone has to do this though)

Hey everyone, just purchased my '12 Iron 883. Stock so far, I did flip the mirrors down. But other then that it's stock (at the moment). First thing i'm looking for is a new seat, it has the solo seat on it and I rode today for about 96 miles and my *** is killing me. So what would be some recommendations for a more comfortable seat yet able to keep a similar look to it.

Thanks,

Brian

Bought my Iron last tuesday, took delivery of it yesterday. So far just the basics.

-flipped mirrors
-flipped license plate sideways
-Screaming Eagle Heavy Breather (awesome love it)
-Tank Bra

looking into a Sick Saddles black diamond seat and some Rush slips.
