Joe's review of the Iron 883 in the September issue says "......, the solo seat is 23 1/2",....". Harley's web site lists the seat height at 26 1/2 unladen. Could super Joe possibly have made a mistake and will he terribly disappoint my 5' 1" wife?

Are you talking about the Low version?

[HalonKauai]

His review did not specify "low" and HD site does not show a "low" in the Iron model. Plus both the iron and the "low" show unladen seat height at 26.3"

[Gas Man]

Well true... the Iron is a Low model now that I think of it.

The Iron is based off the Low so the seat height is around 26. It isn't 23 as I sat on one and i haven't grown...sorry. Guess Joe made a typo. Clif

Well I can measure the wife's nightster... its also a low setup.
