Where the Texas Chopper and LSC each have 8 inches of stretch in the dual downtubes, the Legend has only 6 additional inches. This bike is the real deal there are more things to consider when purchasing a bike than trying to find one with the largest rear tire. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you walked past the Legend on the showroom floor, only to check out another bike sporting a larger rear tire or a frame with more upward stretch. While this may not be immediately apparent at first glance, it makes more sense as you look at the bike's specifications, then throw a leg over it and go for a ride. Acting as a bridge between the tall choppers and the shorter Pro-Street bikes, the Legend finds a unique place in IronHorse's lineup. Without a doubt the Legend is included with the choppers-there's no denying that-but the Legend is not as radical as the Texas Chopper or rigid-framed LSC, although the bike certainly has very definite chopper roots.

While IronHorse's focus is on the upcoming years, in no way has the company forgotten its humble roots past and current employees and, most importantly, all of its customers, way back to the very first one. The aforementioned team has sharply focused its sights on the future, and in doing so has come up with a strong plan to help realize those goals. Clark, and Director of Sales Gary Sipes, the company has positioned itself in an enviable position in the industry.
Over the past few years, under the leadership of the company's management team, including CEO Wil Garland, CFO Bob Krause, VP of Design Jeff Long, VP of Engineering and New Product Development Scott Waters, Director of Warranty James "L.T." Little, VP of PSO (production) B.W. Anyone who has followed the American V-Twin market lately can attest to what an accomplishment that is these days. Back in 2005 when the company announced its '06 model lineup, the Fort Worth, TX, manufacturer of high-performance, luxury custom choppers and cruisers began a celebration of its 10th year in business. As of 2006, American IronHorse Motorcycles finds itself among some pretty elite motorcycle companies.
