Yeh I'm kinda bouncing around like a giggly little schoolgirl here so I thought I'd get the Mrs to snap of a cpl quick pics to show you guys...

Picked it up this afternoon and have only put about 40km's on the clock so far but I'm kinda stoked about it, she purrs like a kitten on steroids though a 2000W amplifier and has quite a bit of kick.

It's at night in a dimly lit garage but we'll get some nice pics (after a clean n polish) over the weekend and I'll update and add to the "Show Your Bike" thread too.   Don't mind the mess behind, I set my gear up under the light which is where the best spot to take a pic is, yes, both cars are kept outside much to the dismay of most visitors who are not muso's...

 

I present:

 

2011 Iron 883, repainted to gloss black.  Screamin Eagle air cleaner, pro tuned, Vance & Hines Short Shots, Tribal mirrors, pegs and grips.

 

 

I haven't named her yet but I'm working on it...

 

 

Don't name your fucken bike.... at least not as a stocker.

HD parked right next to the strat I love it !

I've really been hanging to see what this bike was going to look like, and to be honest i'm not liking it, the hd logo makes it look like its from the 80's and i would have thought that they would have painted the oil tank as well, there is a guy on youtube that is in the process of painting his iron gloss black so maybe its the pictures you have taken that is tuning me off, im not putting you or the bike down, its just my opinion at this stage, i'd really like to see some more pictures of it. We all choose a bike and mod it to our own liking not anybody elses. I hope you are enjoying your bike as much as i am mine! Safe riding dude.

Regards Andrew.

It's ok Terrorisone, you are entitle to your opinion and I'm not gonna be upset by it (except that I chose the HD logo badge and I miss the 80's ).   But honestly, I'm happy as a pig in mud with it and I don't mind if it isn't everybody's fancy.   It really does need better pics though but its tough to get out of work in the daylight.  Maybe Sunday if I'm not too hungover I'll get her to pose for a few shots somewhere.

The oil tank is still matt as it is the default colour on either the denim or yellow Iron.   Being that this was originally a yellow iron, they just left it as is. 

So far I'm loving the bike but I'll probably be getting some new bars soon, something to lift them up and back a bit as my short little arms are almost fully stretched as it is.   Still getting used to finding neutral on the thing tho, didn't realise how touchy it is but I'll get the hang of it soon enough.   I'm not sure if the tribal mirrors are working right as I cant seem to rotate the mirrors at all (they are pretty much stuck solidly though it looks like they have a ball-joint where the mirror attaches to the stem) but when I move the mirror the stem rotates in its fitting to adjust, if that make sense.  It works ok but I need to head back to the dealer soon anyway for some more trinkets and stuff.

Coming from a 125cc scooter, this thing is just bloody awesome and I'm now officially a Harley Convert and loving it!  I'm working on convincing my Mrs to use my old scooter and get her license so she can get herself a Harley now muhahaha.

 

 

 

Here is the link to the guy who has just finished painting the oil tank and battery cover http://www.youtube.com/user/Moonfleet41#p/a/u/1/95NSzKZsJLk , We all miss the 80's mate! i'll pay you that one. I have the same problem as you with the bars (i'm 5'6) i just ordered some 8" apes for mine i'll let you know how i go with them (whenever they turn up) Neutral - i've almost given up on trying to find, so fucking hard, the mirrors are tight to move; have a look to see if they are at full adjustment, if they are loosen the 13mm bolt that holds the stem and move that a little more then readjust the morror....

Regards Andrew

Nice mate! Been looking forward to seeing the gloss black Iron. Looks pretty good I think. Does have an old school vibe to it with that logo , but I kinda like that. Enjoy the ride!

Looks really good in gloss, plus its different to all of the other Iron's out there........................well done!!

Mate, well done. neighbours will get used to the noise, just dont race in your street. i like that badge (might get one for my old girl)

Can I also say that bikes are NOT girls, so refering to it as a 'she' is just as G-A-Y as giving it a name.

Its a primitive hunk of pig iron built by mouth breathers if we want to be brutally honest, but that doesn't stop me loving the freedom mine gives me.

Have I offended enough people yet?

LOL

Blokes have been naming big machines after women for centuries..... well sailors have anyway..... 

hhahaha You crack me up Damon, maybe the reason we call the "she" is they remind us of that loud bitch that we sleep next to each night?

Personally, I'd rather ride a "she" than a "he" or an "it" any day of the week...   But thats my opinion, each to their own right?

 

why'd ya change your post piglet?

We call em 'She' cause when their runnin sweet, they make you feel the same way as a sweet woman would.
BUT, when their not, runnin sweet that is, they STILL make you feel like a woman would.
and besides......if I've got somthin hummin inbetween my thighs....I want it to be a SHE.
But....water ever floats ya boat man!

Funny, then, that female bike riders refer to their bikes as she too...

the bikes do have 3 holes but I like to think mine is an it or a he ,it sounds a bit tougher

mybe when its all blinged up it will look more like a she to me ?
