I know, right? It's the parking lot for a giant theatre and I was there before they opened. Throughout the summers they have car shows in this parking lot on the weekends because it is so big and usually sits 80-90% empty. It's a nice spot to practice u-turns ;)
Your headlight is mounted to the brow like on a normal sporty,there is a bolt that comes up to mount the cowl too. I keep burning out the rear signal lights on my 1200. Cobra 909 Speedsters sound really good on my 1200. Always good to keep it plugged into a trickle charger
I like the sporties too, i rode sportbikes when I was young so I like the handling of the sportsters over a large heavy bike. The 1200 is plenty fast for me. Beautiful bike man
I am still in love with this combo. The bar has held up amazing and the bag is still my favorite daypack. Thank you, I am still in love with my bike as well :P
I like sportsters because there light and nimble and overall fun if someone needs a big heavy bike get 1 then but I at this time anyway like the lightness of these bikes and price range is great too
I have the same sissy bar, I love it! I looked at the Burly bags but not that tank bag, it’s perfect! I like the blacked out forks, def doing that next.
Thank you! Kits do exist! This is the one that I use but there are others out there that look a little different or are priced a little better. www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/arlen-ness-front-turn-signal-39mm-fork-relocation-mounts-for-harley-1987-2017
Dude i just took thcowl of my 20 iron 1200 and put it on his 883 ,looks alot better,both bikes look alot better actually, all we did was swap hardware. I promise the cowl is not a part of holding the headlight , pull the cowl youll see a tall nut with a female end that the cowl mount bolts to. Youll just have to buy the new hardware are cap , unless you swap with a stock cowl-less bike.
I have the same exhaust, filter and tuner and yes it pops all the time. Mine even cuts out at times but I’ve had two dealers say it the setup and the only way to fix it is go with a less “extreme” exhaust and intake or after market tuner which would void my warranty. I really feel the cutting out is another issue but they insist that’s what it is. Guess I’ll find out if I’m screwed when the warranty is up and if I have to shell out money to fix an issue they claim isn’t an issue.
I took my "speed screen" off. Page 163 figure 71. I replaced index 5 with a regular nut. capped it off with a hole plug. all from the hardware store. hole plugs are usually industrial chrome from the store, but you can spray bomb it black. forgive me cause i don't remember the sizes on the hardware, i think 1/2 13, but don't quote me on that. it's def standard though. i wanna do some more stuff to my iron so thanks for making this video man.
It was both not as big of a change as I was expecting and a lot more of a change at the same time. The 883 and the 1200 are the exact same bike other then the engine so if felt almost exactly the same as far as the weight and the balance and just the ride in general. The 1200 just hides a lot more get up and go though. My 883 was only ever a stage 1 and I got my 1200 to stage 2 as quickly as possible. The 883 was capable of going 70-90 on the highway but you could tell it didn't WANT to. The 1200 just has a lot more room through the gears before it starts to get angry. The 1200 isn't a peaceful ride going 90 on the interstate by any means but It doesn't feel like you are pushing it so hard to get it there either.
I'm running a 1275 and s&s superstock heads, stock cams, drag pipes, 45mm cv, it's bad, ypu need to either tune or jet out shouldn't be running fat....
It’s just about right for me. I live in a tight cul-da-sac so I didn’t want it to be super loud. I went with the super quiet baffles though as even the quiet baffles were hella loud. Even with the baffles I have though I can get peoples attention when I need to ;)
I did totally forget about the bars in this video. They are the "Chizeled Satin Black" bars from Harley Davidson. They are expensive but I fell in love with the shape of them and couldn't find any knock off's that were close to the same look. Hope that helps!
There are tons of videos that exist of sporters with Vance and Hines short shots that do a better job of showing the sound than I could have with my helmet mic. Sorry to disappoint.
I love the fact that you’re the only one there in a big empty parking lot w/no one to bother you!

That is one of the best looking iron 1200s I’ve seen so far! The black tank with the lift and wire tuck is sweet.
Thanks! It stands out in a crowd for sure and most people either really like it or absolutely hate it. Always good to find more of the first group ;)
My iron 883 looks pretty much like yours. Different seat. I have the lepera daytona. Just added a 1275 kit.
No it’s not
@@michaelbillstrom170 no it doesn’t
Love the iron, I bought myself an 883 2017 this past July, and I am practicing on it and frankensteining it as well
Congrats! I have not been on mine nearly enough this year but I still love it to death. Frankenstein away!

I still really dig the look of the 909's. Maybe someday

I’ve been looking for a sissy bar and bag for awhile I think I’m gonna go with this one. Also sweet bike man 🤘

I love the sissy bar. Absolutely lucked out with the tank bag fitting like that.
Looking good!
I have a question: the turn lights relocation on the forks, is there any kit for it?
Thank you!
Kits do exist! This is the one that I use but there are others out there that look a little different or are priced a little better.

Great bike! I love my Nightster! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you! It's my money-pit ;)
@@justSatyr I know what you mean!!
That is a sharp lookin' bike

Interesting. I will take a look. Thank you!
You didn't let us hear the pipes
Love it! I got the same here in Sweden and just about to start working on it :)
Nice! Have fun with it!

Yeah, that doesn't seem right at all.
Sick!

Ain't no girls bike ..how much diffrent was it going from 883 to 1200

Also I just switched to a ultima ignition and cut all the stock wires out, I have 2 power wires on the bike 1 for break 1 for ignition and head light.
I also use a 1970s mustang seat best ever
Just got a 20 iron 1200 , the irons and 48s dont come with gas tanks, where can i get one ? Dealership told me over a grand .
lol, so true. Sometimes it feels like they just zip tied a water bottle to the top of these bikes.
I guess we are girls!!!!!hahahah i agree i am a sportster fan.
Is it loud?
It’s just about right for me. I live in a tight cul-da-sac so I didn’t want it to be super loud. I went with the super quiet baffles though as even the quiet baffles were hella loud. Even with the baffles I have though I can get peoples attention when I need to ;)
Why is the 1200 emblem turned upside down?
I may have to do a whole video on it at some point because it is a lot to unpack but the short version is that I don't believe in keeping bikes stock.
@@justSatyr please do a vid I'd like to hear
@@UsagiFennec It took me waaaay to long but I finally put it all together!

enjoy :)
You can take off the cowling. I did mine and it looks a lot better.
Thanks! Figuring out the cowl situation is on my list for this winter.
Should’ve done a lip smack counter

for the algorithm
Thanks!
Does that seat hurt your hole?
It's a lot more comfortable than it looks.
Hey, what gas cap is that?
Its the HD flush mounted gas cap. If the link goes through you can find it here:

That’s just a stage 1 bro, stage 2 are cams!
Slow and steady. My wallet can't handle a faster pace lol

bars?

You don't even start the bike wtf
There are tons of videos that exist of sporters with Vance and Hines short shots that do a better job of showing the sound than I could have with my helmet mic.
Sorry to disappoint.
Do you ever get puddles on your meat?
Lol, good question and the answer is yes…yes I do
