Sean also decided to upgrade the stereo system and utilize some of the extra space in his saddle bags.
Thanks for Inspiring us Sean!
So to break the monotony of the same stock Harleys you see at every dealership, we always like to let our creative juices flow from time to time.
The Iron 883 is part of the Dark Custom movement that started with the Nightster in 2007. The Iron was first introduced as the mid-model year bike in 2009. Shipping from the factory with the smaller Sportster motor (883) it also comes with a smaller price tag, starting at $7,999.
The Iron 883 was an instant hit and dealers (including us) who could not keep them on the floor. This was during the time when completely "black-out" bikes were extremely popular (they still are). The Iron really goes for the "greaser" and "bobber" look with a stripped down style to it. It has the gator guards on the front forks to bring out that retro look as well.
The Sportster Forty-Eight was named after the first year the Sportster was suited with the 2 gallon peanut tank (1948). The Forty-Eight comes with the 1200cc motor which is the larger of the two offered to the Sportster chassis bikes. The Forty-Eight is a lowered, bobber stylized bike. It screams custom garage bobber. One of the more notable features is the fat front tire housed on a spoke rim.
