Default New Iron 883 owner WNY

Hi everyone,

I'm from a small town about halfway in between Rochester and Buffalo. I've had my Iron for one week now. I bought it bone stock, rode it around the block once, then tore it apart and made all the modifications myself that same night. Here's a list of the mods so far:

-HD forward controls
-HD Mini Apes
-2" tank lift
-Vance and Hines short shots staggered exhaust
-Fuelpak
-Screaming Eagle stage 1 filter

I absolutely love the bike and have had nothing but positive comments from everyone. The only think left to do is have the seat redone by Mean City Cycles (thank you to several other forum members for refering them). I have my appoinment set with them at the beginning of July.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Here are some pics:
