Hey Guys,
About to pick up a second hand Iron 883 2010 model with 2500kms and am just after some advice.
Is there any major differences between these year models other than the decal on the tank? My research shows that they are all fairly similar. I'm saving $3500 off the cost of a brand new bike, plus the one I am getting has a few mods which would have cost around $1500, but am not totally sure whether or not the savings justify buying a 2 year old bike vs a brand new one (well 1 and a bit considering its only just 2012).
Thanks!
Great choice. The 2011 had a chrome derby cover (is that what it's called...the round cover near the gear shift), otherwise as far as I know all three year models are identical.
Faults? Very limited suspension travel so you will want those mid pegs for taking some weight off your backside in the bumps, and the foot pegs have a lip which tends to snag your pant cuffs if you aren't careful making dropping the bike possible if you aren't ready for it. I'd change the pegs.
The only essential modification if not already done is to flip the mirrors under the bars like HD eventually copied with the 48. Great visibility with flipped mirrors, and none otherwise unless you enjoy looking at your arms.
Such a fun ride that once space and dollars permit I'll have another one.
in the owners handbook there is a change of address card mate fill er out and bung it in the mail that way if there is any warranty issues harley contact you direct
