I've just bought a Sportster Iron and I was woundering what is the must agresive rear tire. For a stock rear wheel.

Being a 16" wheel, you're extremely limited.
Try the Bridgestone Trailwing, though they are only available in narrow widths..

Here's another twist on the Sportster theme. Just added the dual H4 headlights last weekend.

Nice.

What seat is that? Can you give us a side shot too? I'd like to get a better look.

I see you also have added a fork brace. How much do you feel that it aids in handling????

This isn't my bike, but I had one of the early evolution sportsters. I rode the shit out of that thing. I thought the fork brace made a significant positive impact on the handling, much more than I would have expected.
