21 Iron 1200. Added explorer seat from Saddlemen. Forward controls with mini boards. Rear shocks. Stock bars are nice, no change. Mini apes. Added a small faring to help keep wind off chest.
I have an 06 Custom, and added a Saddlemen Explorer seat (best decision ever), and highway pegs for extra foot positions. I can ride forever seems like now.
I have a RockitShifter too and love it but it's even better with Accutronix 6" extensions on my 2017 Sporty 48. Now I can really stretch out. I'm not tall only 5'8" but I like to not be pretzelized on my bike. I also put on risers, a Saddleman seat, your rear shocks, and driving led lites. I always want a triangle of lites front and back on every bike I own. Driving lites with the headlight and aux brake lites with the stock brake lite to give me that safety edge in visibility. I have not seen much improvement in ride ability with your rear shocks but have a pair of bagger air shocks that I plan to put on soon. I would have used intiminators as on my KLR but the 48 is not able to take advantage of them due to front fork suspension.
For Chris Glad you are being able to stretch out and enjoy the Rock-It-Shift. Have you looked at our LED's for Sportys? Here is a link- www.dkcustomproducts.com/lights-c98-313.htm Regarding the shocks, you should have felt a very significant improvement. In that you have not seen much improvement, that leads me to think they are either not adjusted correctly, or may have some other issue going on. Please get with us at one of the contacts below so we can get it resolved for you. Yes, the Intiminators make a nice difference, but with the 48 it does call for replacement of the cartridge with OEM damper rod. Email or call: support@dkcustomproducts.com 662-252-8828
My touring bike is an '05 883C, previous owner added the detachable sissy bar, Harley accessory leather saddle bags, and lowered the rear with 11" Dyna shocks. Looked cool, handled well, but 150 miles would beat you to death. I changed to Pirelli MT66 tires, Mustang vintage wide 2 piece seat and large back rest, large Harley accessory clip on windshield, Road King 14" air shocks with the oil changed to 5W synthetic, twin power rotors and sintered brake pads, and a lace wheel on the rear. Also relocated both front and rear turn signals, with running lights added to the rear for increased visibility. The back is a bit higher than I wanted as it messed with the rake and trail some, but it still handles decent, stops better than ever, and a 500 mile day is pretty comfortable. The next planned mods when the budget allows are some of your running boards, Intiminators in the forks, buckhorn bars, and going with some shorter rear shocks.
Very cool, sound like you have done some good mods to get your ride more comfortable for you. Thanks for sharing. I think you will like the floorboards and intiminators, they will be a nice improvement. 👍
08 nightster. Mustang cyclone solo pan seat ridged. Suspension is progressive f&r, 14" narrow bottom apes, and the biggest is I took harley touring passenger contemporary style floorboards and custom made mounts for them for the forward controls.

There is a reason your 48 is a blank canvas.

@@310sbell For those of us that like a smoother ride, it is really surprising that thousands upon thousands of riders are not bothered by the OEM Sportster suspension. Everybody has different levels of what is a comfortable ride for them. Regarding 80-100 mph.... I regularly cruise at 70-80 mph on my different Sportsters.

You can’t do enough to your bike to make sure you are SEEN by cagers! I know everyone wants a cool looking bike and no one wants an excess of lights or an excess of anything but being SEEN can literally be the difference between life and death! No joke! I found out the hardest of ways possible. I lost my youngest son Josh to a motorcycle accident Tuesday November 29th at about 7:00 pm. An elderly lady did not see him on his old sportster and pulled out right in front of him. Witnesses say he didn’t have any time to react at all. His first and only accident he ever had. He was wearing all his gear. Did not matter. He was killed pretty much instantly. If they don’t SEE you, someone will pull out in front of you!
Robby, my heart sank reading your message. I trust you and your family keep Josh alive in all the good memories of him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you & your family.
@@DKCustomProducts Thank you. I appreciate the words. That’s him in my profile pic. He loved his Harley. He was 29. Would have turned 30 January 5th. That’s his daughter Timbre Clark he’s holding.
