- The Harley Iron 883 is one of my favorite looking bikes there is. I forgot to mention the bike has thousands of aftermarket parts you can buy to make the bike your own. All in all I love this bike and its hard to find anything bad to say about it.

Great video and couldn't agree more. Got my first ever bike last year, a 2018 denim black iron 883. Loving everything about it. I've been raving about it I'm my own videos. Hope you have many fun and safe years ahead!
Awesome! I will have to go check out your videos. Ride Safe
@@ossiboyz7566 they're pretty amateur, but I'm enjoying doing them. I need to look at the camera and mic combo to get it better. I wanted to give my thoughts about the bike as I'd fancied it for years and finally got a licence and bought one. Nuts I didn't do it earlier !!!
Love your bike 👍
Hope to get an 883 one day in the near future!
in the near future!!
Upgrades are many and available. Suspension, brakes and motor. It is just a great platform. It is not a touring bike though you can. But around the city it is perfect.
Great video
Definitely my experience as well screaming eagle's are not as loud but the performance is night and day over the vance and hines. 👍the 883 is a cool ride I don't care what they say it is what it is
For sure. I think the 883 is finally starting to become a bike thats appreciated for what it is. A sick little bike to cruise around town and have fun without braking the bank. Ride Safe my friend!
I love the iron / I traded my in for a fatbob in 2015 and I hated it ... ended up trading that on for a Yamaha MT10
I would add an iron back to my garage though if I had the time to ride more
Yeah I have a 2015 in mother of pearl silver. Great around town but not great long distances. Two gallons gets you a hundred miles give or take like 10 miles. Their very nible
Hey nice bike! I’m thinking of getting one also to commute 70 miles to work and 70 miles going home. How good is the gas mileage and do you think riding 75 mph will bother my riding because of wind?
I usually fill up every 100 to 120 miles. I think you would be fine riding 70 to 75 mph if you had a windshield but without one it would be a rough 140 miles a day. Might also be a pain having to fill up for gas everyday. That being said, if you don't mind filling her up everyday and you have a windshield its def doable but not the ideal bike for that type of travel.
Alamat TV I have a ‘14 Iron. I have found that around town riding I wear my half shell helmet. When going highway or high speeds just throw on a full face helmet if you have one. I think a windshield changes the sport look. Just my opinion but a full face helmet helps a lot.
The idle of the 883 sounds awesome to me.
3800 was a steal
$3800!!! You could probably get $5500 right now! Maybe more? I personally would not sell it, but then I just bought this bike brand new, 2020! My first REAL motorcycle! Love it! Excellent first bike IMO. Nice power upgrade compared to my scooter but nothing scary about it either. Also feels really good driving it. Handles so much better than my scooter.
Jax beach huh? Lol I’m in st aug just bought an iron 883! Never rode before.
Congrats on the purchase, your going to love it! St. Aug is a great place to ride. Make sure your take it slow and work on how to brake not just go. Braking is the most overlooked skill in riding a motorcycle.
@Tucker Schwartz Did you mod the bike ? The handle bar is looking different.
I did install drag bars on the bike and flipped the mirrors. Besides that and the screaming eagle slip on exhaust the bike is stock.
Why would you put chrome pipes on a bike that was meant to be anti chrome. For those that don't understand this bike was designed to have no chrome.
I actually bought the bike with those pipes on them and I’m too cheap to throw some Vance n Hines shorties on it. That being said I believe the bike comes stock with chrome pipes up until about a year ago so not sure why u think the bike can’t have any chrome on it. Different stokes for different folks my friend!
Did you need to change out or adjust the rear suspension to make it safe for a pillion passenger?
I didn’t make any changes. I did buy the bike used so I think the guy I bought it from had the suspension pretty stiff from riding 2 up as well. I would recommend messing with it before dropping money on new suspension components.
Did you make a video of putting on the drag handlebars because I just ordered them for my iron883 and I’m afraid I will screw it up
I did not, but BLOCKHEAD has a good video on his page showing how to install drag bars. Its pretty easy I don't think you will have any problems if you follow that video.
Hey what’s up I’m that kid u met at north Florida a while ago, nice video, we went this weekend and I went for the main table top in the middle like the main one and the lip kicked my b@ck tire out and I landed at like the landing and swapped super hard, I’m good my neck is just a little sour, if I see u out there again I’ll have to show u the video!
Damn bro that sounds gnarly. Glad you made it out of that alright though. I def want to check that video out next time I see you at the track!
Yea for sure bro cya at the track🤘
I’m thinking of either the 883 or 1200 cc but I heard the ride is better on the 883 and the seat positioning, true or what ?
If it was me I would buy whatever bike I can get the better deal on. Im not 100% sure but I have had an 883 and a 1200 and noticed no difference in ride positioning. If your ride position is uncomfortable you can always change the bars and the controls to something thats more comfortable to fit you riding style. Taller riders would prefer forward controls and shorted would probably prefer mid controls. The 1200 obviously has more power but neither bike is crazy fast. I would never recommend against the 1200 over the 883 if you have the option though! More Speed= More Fun!
Don’t the mirrors hit the tank when you park the bike. Had that issue with my 883 to the point the left mirror broke
I also had this concern. Luckily because I installed the drag bars I did not have this issue. I believe the drag bars are slightly longer then stock bars giving me a little more room to move the mirrors out away from the tank.
I also had this issue with the stock bar. So my solution was to rotate the bar downward a little bit, so you had enough space between the mirrors and the tank when you lock your front wheel...I hope what I wrote is clear 😊
I flipped the mirrors on stock handlebar and it's only the matter of precise regulation of mirror's arms and they didn't hit the tank
I got iron 883 for two years now. I have driven about 7k miles,some with my wife. I think that's a great bike for short and longer trips. I modded it to stage 1 - air filter, exhaust and fp3 made him run much smoother and comfortable with passenger.
I don't see the reason to buy bigger Harley until I will be very fat :)
I would love to have a bigger bike one day when I have the time to take long road trips. For now, the 883 is more than enough bike for the type of riding I do! Glad your enjoying your bike and thanks for the comment.
Would you mind providing the names or a link to where I can get the sissy bar and passenger seat, if possible?
I thought I bought both the back seat and sissy bar off Amazon but I was not able to find them on Amazon. I was able to find a link to the same products on ebay at: www.ebay.com/itm/Passenger-Backrest-Sissy-Bar-pad-For-Harley-Sportster-XL883-1200-48-Iron-04-UP/163578522672?fits=Model%3AIron+883%7CMake%3AHarley-Davidson&hash=item26160a2c30:g:1pYAAOSw5WReTfzm

I had a question can i ride the motercle with the motercle license and not the drive license ?
Shaine Pendergraft No. In Florida you must have a drivers license to get a motorcycle license.
just got my 2021 daewoo...
Tank size?
The tank is 3.3 gallons. Light usually comes on right before I hit 100 miles. I believe the light comes on when there is 0.8 gallons left in the tank.
Is that Ponte Vedra?
yessir it is!
Forget the bike, your wife is gorgeous!!🍺
cringe
Dude just keep it,I don’t know why you all be trading your bikes in when all can keep it and just buy a new one.?it’s almost like you all choose debt than actually owning something.I love my 2021 iron 883,I named it alpha and I’ll never get rid of it,I’ll pay it off and just buy another bike.
Nice vid. I ride a Sporty also and I motovlog. Check our the channel. I ride a sportster because that’s what I like. In the process of my 1250 conversion.

Good looking wife 😎
no son your bike is not very dirty, mine is normally covered in cow shit.
you dont care if she leaves her skin across the pavement i guess ._. I'd never let mine ride without gear.
Iron 883 looks better with sissy bars 👍
How tall is your wife?
Cinema Superhit 😳 😂
@Cinema Superhit why not....looks so fucking tall...pretty sure she's like 6'3".
Why your ass is on fire over her wife is beyond me.
