Until the wife gets back from Vegas (please don't gamble and loose my money), this is the only photo I have of my bike semi-head on.

I really like how my bike handles with the tire the way it is, but really I can't compare it to anything else. I had a friend hop on and ride it a bit who said it felt "weird" and didn't like it. Like I said though it seems normal to me. I think I'm gonna drop the white walls as soon as I need new tires, some mag wheels too. Thinking about some mag wheels too, just want to make sure I keep the same tire size/ width.

Mags with blackwall tires would be slick on that bike. Not Sportster mags but big twin mags. The round spoke wagon wheel type. They should be a direct swap.

Yeah, it'll definitely handle different compared to something else. But I think it would nice set up.

Your buddy probably rides one specific bike the majority of the time. Anything but his bike will feel wierd to him.

Bike looks lush. Never thought of swapping the front end for wide glide kit. And that chunky front wheel. I'm keeping on this link to see your decision on bars and wheels.

I'd like to start a clip-on handlebar club on this forum, but I'd probably have 3 members total.

It hard enough to get mutiple Sporty's together. No reason to pigeon hole ourselves even more.

I'll sign up as Member #002! Got the RSD clip ons today thanks to Eric at Toxic Customs here in Raleigh. I don't have a bike jack so I shopped around for labor rate quotes on installing the clips and everyone said 3 hours and they had no time, except for Toxic Customs. Ended up also installing a new steel braided brake line, all in 1.5 hours. I would upload pics of the new setup with the new HD Edge Cut grips, but that speedo is hideous and its getting relocated. Autometer 3209???

Will the dummy lights fit into the top of the stock headlight visor on a 2010 Iron? I thought I saw something about it, but can't remember.

Yours won't but if you get the light bar from any "C" model it'll pop right in there. There's a cut out for it under the glued on cover.
