Heavy breather clean and oil, then my new fender came to replace one with a dent that came with the bike.

 

Bought my new '21 Iron 1200 yesterday. Rides a little rougher than the 883 it replaced, but it handles so much better!


'21 XL1200NS still on dealer floor

 

Added National Cycles Mohawk windscreen and HD forward controls to my 2016 1200T. What a wonderful difference the controls made. Next mod is to send my seat to Russel Products in CA for their 'Day-Long' upgrade.

 

Took a ride to Eureka Springs. The Bikes, Blues & Barbecue event in Fayetteville, AR was canceled this year, so my dealer, Pig Trail HD, sponsored a substitute, only without the barbecue. Rogers was a zoo, and so was Eureka Springs, but there were lots of friendly folks out on the highways. My new Sporty now has 225 miles on it.

 

I saved the temp gauge/oil tank cap from my old Sportster and installed it in my new Iron 1200. I love being able to check the temperature.

 

I like this. It’s very unobtrusive.

I haven’t put this to work yet, but I’m sure it will allow me to carry a few more things from the store.

 

My whole bike is blacked out. Does the chrome overwhelm it?

 

Added spring seat and smaller mirrors.

 

Black paint will eventually flake off and look a mess, can't you get hold of chemically blackened stainless steel hardware locally?

I sell them here in the UK for Sportster models, I do a Sportster full engine covers kit in black stainless for £50.00.

My own Iron 883 has black stainless hardware all over it, they'll never tarnish or corrode, they'll last the life time of my machine.

 

I've never ridden a motorcycle with a spring seat. How comfortable would you say it is?
