Where are you selling yours and do you have pic?
Greetings...I'm sellin my Iron 883 and just got done puttin $2773.48 in to her with parts and labor. I have the V&H SS Stag Blk $459.95...SE Pro Super Tuner $459.95... Black Heavy Breather $299.95...Tribal Gear Shift $29.95...Tribal Pegs $69.95...(Pegs are bigger and more room for feet) Forward Controls $399.95... And just had the first service done $351.33. They must of done some kinda of Dyno tune because the gave me a test sheet that said DynoJet Research. Don't see anything about a fuel pack. I think they said I didn't need to do that. But what the hell do I know. Not sure if I'm feelin more power from the bike or if it's just the sound of the pipes that makes it feel like it has more power. Any hoot...So after all that I've put into the bike I will not be able to get even half of it back out, so make sure this is the bike for you before you start makin all the changes. If I were you I would bike a used 1200 that has had mods done already and save yourself some money. If you buy a New Iron 883 you may dump more money into it then just getting used and getting everything you want. I'm lookin to buy a bigger bike and I wont make the same mistake this time. Good luck on your journey

I have a few ??
I notice that many Nightster & Iron riders use the "Tank Lift" kits on their bikes.
I am thinking of this for my Iron but my questions are this...
If you raise the front of the tank to achieve this look, does it affect your milage?
If so for better or worse?
Does it affect how much fuel you use before the low fuellight comes on since it seems to me that the angle of the fuel pickup would be changed?
I mean Sporties aren't the best for milage and I just wonderd if this would cut into it even more.
Apologies if it seems like a dumb ??
I like the look but was just wondering.

At first I didn't think it was affecting the range but after using the odometer a couple times after filling up I can confirm that I have a little over 1 gallon in the tank when the light comes on; my range is 90 miles on two gallons so my mileage is still over 45, since I should have at least 20 miles more on reserve. And that's with a Stage I upgrade.
Not sure how far I could drive when the light comes on as I haven't tried it. Wonder if the lift means that the light comes on prematurely, but I can still use the gallon in the tank?

Does the angle allows for less fuel pickup (therefore less range) before the light comes on?
Mine right now seems pretty consistant at 90-92 miles and the light comes on, usually fill up with a bit over 2 gallons.
