LOVE the look!!

Thanks man!.. the passenger pegs are because I initially wanted to take my girlfriends for a ride.. so I bought a passenger seat and pegs.. but I then went rigid.. a no-no for a passenger.. I have to remove them and sell them... I have a really good harley 2-up seat that was used only once for testing... is brand new.. I will sell them later..

Joe, it looks like you put a lift on your tank and removed the ignition coil to give the bike that "see through' look above the engine, looks awesome!!...

Can you tell me where you relocated the ignition coil and how hard of a job that is?

Also, if you lifted the tank, how difficult is that and where can I pickup the parts/brackets??

Thanks man!

NAS
If you search for those topics you'll be able to find them. There have been numerous posts on these topics. As for the brackets, most everybody has made them themselves.

Thanks, I'll search those topics. The Iron is my first bike and after seeing some of these sweet modifications I really like to try and tackle some of them myself, just want to know what I'm getting myself into so I don't get in over my head...

Understandable man! All mods can be done on your own. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. There are plenty of step-by-step directions on here.
