I finally got my first bike. Here she is! I'm like a kid at Christmas. Soooo much fun and sooooooooooo much to learn. Rommel HD in New Castle, De provided a great customer experience too... The only thing that isn't stock is the RSD air cleaner. I wanted the 2 into 1 exhaust, but I'll have to wait until July since mine is a 2014.

Guess I will finally contribute to this thread, read through almost all of it to check out all the Irons.
Me I have been riding for little over 10 years now, has always been sport bikes. I've owned a lot, Yamaha's, Honda's, Kawi's, Ducati's, Suzuki's. Used to go to the track 2-3 times a month, also used my bikes for commuting when I lived in Downtown Los Angeles. Now I don't go to the track anymore and that hunched over position just wasn't doing it for me anymore so wanted something a little more comfortable position wise.
I commute to work 30 miles one way and if you know LA traffic is horrid to say the least. I wanted something small so lane splitting is still easy (no way can you get between cars with an Electra Glide). So I liked the look and size of the Iron and now its my first Harley. Still small and nimble enough to get me through all the traffic and comfortable enough that my back and arms are killing me by the end of the commute. First thing I did was order the 1200 kit upgrade as I liked the 48 motor over the Iron but that 2.2 gal tank wasn't going to cut it and overall like the look of the Iron more.
Here she is when I brought her home from the dealer:

Just got 8" Z-bars from Licks and also got their solo bag and tool back so those are next on the list.
Hoping the brake line will fit on the bars, I haven't seen anyone with bars yet on a '14. The new bikes don't have the hard line anymore so not sure how much slack I can get away with but I shall see this weekend.
