First off thanks to Mreed for all of his how to-s and letting me hit him up with questions all the time. Also thanks to many others who I have bought parts from on the classifieds or used your post and pictures to help guide me like BmxAtv and his fendor chop.

This is my first bike an 09 iron, I bought it last year in May stock with 300 miles on it and have been hooked ever since.

So far
X14ieds
Mreed Air cleaner
Mreed baffles removal
ECM relocation
chopped rear fender
Biltwell struts
tank lift
coil and key relo
RSD clipons
48 seat
capitalist_slave license plate bracket from the belt guard


Im lovin riding it so far this spring. New exhaust is next. Thanks again love this forum!

btw i have some 11.3" spitfire spring struts, if you want to soften up the ride, while maintaining the narrow look of struts. PM me, $80 + shipping.

Thanks everyone! Yeah NRHS I've heard you guys rock and in my neck of the woods even better! Its coming but got to save for it! Want to take a ride up there someday. Pipes are next and I have been drooling over sikpipes.

As for the ride yeah its ruff but getting used to it. Put about 150 miles on Sunday and then rode to work monday morning. Its fun to ride and I love the aggressive stance. Lean over hug the tank and let er rip

After cutting it and scratching it all up I repainted the rear fender with a rattle can of flat black. Didnt turn out too bad but scratched it a couple times again mounting the new seat so I will probably take it back off and redo it. I was impressed how closely it matched original paint.
