That is the best looking Iron I have ever seen. How comfortable is the riding position with those clubman bars?

Thanks man,

I find the clip ons very comfortable... I did have to get used to not putting so much pressure on my hands though. At first without realizing it I would put most of my weight on my hands because i was leaning forward. So I was getting pain in my wrists and tingling in my hands. I adjusted my hand position and stopped putting all of my weight forward and that solved my problem. Now leaning forward like that actually helps my back! Sitting upright I would get pain in my mid-lower back.

I would have gone with RSD Trackers for the exhaust, BUT I do like how the whole bike is black, except for the chrome pipes. The contrast is just enough to make it really look interesting.

RSD was also supposed to come out with a cafe style seat for the iron, made by mustang, but nothing has shown up for purchase so far.

Actually the seat is out : http://www.rolandsands.com/products/Cafe-Sportster-Seat


I didn't want the bike to be an exact clone of the RSD cafe which is why I went in a slightly different direction.

Installed the RSD coil relocation, took a few quick pics... I'll have more of the bike complete shortly! Love the look of this RSD coil kit, very clean.

Looking good. Use "VHT Nite Shades" on your red lenses - they will appear black until they are illuminated! Great stuff!
