Some pics from when I first picked it up and threw a few quick things at it (had detachable windscreen on it from the PO):

then I put it in the garage for the winter with some mods on the to-do list of Z-bars, progressive fork springs and a heavy duty fork oil and changing it from mids to forward controls.

I dig. I use to have a nightster 1200 which is basically the same bike with a bigger motor. My buddy has an iron 883.

I can guarantee I'll be calling NHRS or Hammer for a 1250cc kit at some point. I still have some appearance crap I want to do and changing the exhaust to a quality 2-1 setup instead of these slipons first though.
