Default question, intalling exhaust from day 1

I was going to do the same thing, but the dealers told me I had to wait 1500km before I installed them. Because it was "air cooled" also they said I needed a different intake. They Bsing me?

I noticed with the black denim color there was hardly any color separation between the major components of the bike, except for the exhaust and the top of the forks.

I of course checked out the other available colors...the dark blue, the new red/orange, and even the chrome yellow, but when it came down to a decision I chose the silver, because I thought it offered a rather "muted" yet visible color separation of components, which I thought complimented the minimalistic chrome articles such as the exhaust and upper forks...I think also that the silver makes the bike look lower [yeah, probably only in my head].

I'm still glad I made the silver choice! I always get compliments wherever I go, and I continue to be a happy camper!

Good choice of color. Silver was my second choice but since there's not a single one Iron in my area, i decided to still go with black.

IMO, HD should stick with "flat colors" with the Iron. And ditch the 883. (But that's another story)

To ape or not to ape? I'm thinking about HD mini apes, in black. Or maybe 10 inch Z bars from licks...
