What size tire is that on the front? Is that still a narrow glide front end?

[Sporting Lad]

I got the points, clutch, and a/c covers from Extreme Custom Engraving (http://www.azece.com).

Hi, Nigel!
I'm looking at the site http://www.azece.com/orderpoints.htm right now, and all I see is "Not available for Sportsters" (?)
Am I looking at the wrong two-hole points covers page??
I can't find the info on any XL stuff....

Back then I never thought I'd have need of them, but, man,
I sure could use some of them now!

[Folkie]

Hi Tom,

"Not available for Sportsters" is an old message he's forgotten to remove, relating specifically to 2 hole points covers. The 2 hole points covers for Evo BTs didn't fit solid mount Sportsters: the holes were the wrong way around.

However, 2 hole Evo points covers are the same as '04+ Sportster points covers (holes horizontal). For those with older Sportsters (vertical holes), CAP will now make covers with the holes the right way around, just tell him what you want.

For the clutch covers, click on 'Sportster Derby Covers 6 And 4 Hole' or 'Sportster Covers' on the home page, or 'Billet Sportster Derby Covers' on the Derby Covers page.

As for Air cleaner covers, he makes covers for various aftermarket a/cs: the big round BT ones that some use, S&S, Big Suckers, Hyperchargers (these fit the new NRHS a/c).

From the Winding Stair Mtns in SE Okla. a couple weeks ago. Almost done with the bike. The windshield is on only on longer trips &/or the grasshoppers or butterflies are running rampant. They hurt!
It's not too far from stock, I suppose, but I dig it & it was comfortable for a 3k trip this past August.

[Sporting Lad]

Hi Tom,
...2 hole Evo points covers are the same as '04+ Sportster points covers (holes horizontal).

I ordered a Solid Brass Points Cover with the Celtic Knot
device on it. Black design on brass. :wonderlan

I was considering the brushed aluminium finish, but thought it might get lost down there. The brass will be a noticeable feature.

Hey, Nigel...tanks a lot.

That's the one I've got. I used brass screws too; didn't think anything else would look right with the brass cover.

[Sporting Lad]

What? It don't come wif screws? :(

Cap just wrote back to tell me he was sending me a free tea shirt. It's got a big Celtic design on the front. :wonderlan

Now I can take tea break at any biker bar in Canada, dressed in style. :rolleyes:

[Folkie]

Yes, they come with stainless steel screws.

I thought brass screws would look better, but didn't want slotted or Philips screws, which I didn't think would look right either. Which is probably why CAP doesn't supply brass screws. There's not much else available in countersunk brass screws, not that I've been able to find, anyway.

I managed to track down some 'spanner screws':

what kind of tank are you running?

That looks like a 4.5 gallon tank off of a XL 1200 C. Have always wanted to see what it would look like on a nightster or Iron...:banana

Hi There,

This is my 2007 Nighster (on the right:-). I do not see Nightsters in this colour often. I have not changed anything apart from painting the high gloss black oil tank cover to dull finish black so it matches the other parts better.

I hope you like it.

[volatile77]

I bought some 1/2" washers/spacers, and put 2 on every bolt, but that was it. I also used a small motorcycle jack to get the frame up about 2 inches. I was told I could swap out the shocks with no jack at all, but that proved to not be the case, as there was waaaaaay too much tension on the bolts.

Ah, no worries. I paid $250 for them, that included shipping. They are used, you can check the place out at www.bitchinbaggers.com. I got the 11" so that I could just swap them out. I have yet to ride 2 up with these things, but I have a sneaking suspicion that it's gonna suck. The ride is already pretty rough, and that's with just me....but we'll see what happens

what ways are there to mount the turn signals to the forks?

[Stang951]

I had used mounts from Drag Specialties. Got them from Dennis kirk. Not sure what the PN was now since the bike will be gone almost a year. If you do a search I know it is in the archives somewhere though. If you happen to look through DS it is the smallest mount that keeps the signal closest to the forks.

And per the owners manual, when you wax a denim finish, it will start to shine...just like waxing a faded paint job.

Can you send me a link to the part you bought perrocallejero? I'm wanting to do the same thing and wondered if you could use all of the stock headlight assembly except for the bracket. I assume you just drilled a hold in the bottom tree and used the bracket you are talking about. Then, I assume you just turn everything in your stock headlight 180 degrees.

Wife’s and mine Nightsters. She got hers in June and I got mine in August. Hers is the one with mini apes. I got drag bars and a bunch of other stuff to install on mine but been taking advantage of all the riding days I have left.

Perrocallejero, is your front wheel a rear Nightster wheel? If so, could you list what extras have been necessary to put it on? Nobody can tell me that, and it's an "upgrade" I'd like to do soon.

Of course, a new kit of trees is absolutely necessary for housing that monster wheel, but... what more?

Front wheel is DNA that I ordered through my local HD dealership. Triple trees are from vulcanworks.net. Front head light is a cheapo I bought from J&P cycles, I used the original HD light and ring and painted the main headlight cover black...HD wanted to charge me 200 bucks for a headlight. PM me if you have anymore questions.

what front end configuration are you running? that fat tire looks sick!

[_Feral_]

Alright, posting mine again. A few more mods added.

Only things left to do: relocate the ignition coil and put a cover of some kind on it, powdercoat said coil cover as well as rocker boxes, pushrod covers, and seat springs to match my velocity stack, and do a wire tuck (or run my wires internally if I'm feeling as ambitious as Cosmo Kramer). Should pretty much do it. And maybe get some copper colored silicone sealant for my pipe wrap.

Anyway: Current incarnation:

feral, is that line-x? if so thanks for letting me see what it looks like on a N, mu buell is done in line-x and i did think about doing the harley that way. Either way ur bike looks killer!

[_Feral_]

It IS truckbed liner, but it's the herculiner brand that comes in a paint can. It's glossy unlike some of the others I've seen, and rolling it on was pretty simple.

Got any pics of the buell? I almost bought one instead of the nightster.

[_Feral_]

For my coil relocation I'm going to do like Cosmo Kramer did here:



http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d28/nyjeepman/Nightster%20Gas%20Cap/100_0912.jpg



But instead of the standard cowbell I'll be using this horn cover:

and putting this points cover on it:

You aren't allowed pics in your sig, or any outside links, unless you're a paying member.

one myself. When I was a kid there was this guy with a very black Bimmer hack from the late '50s. He had a big spotlight w/ 2 handles on the back so the passenger could man it like a machine-gun.
They used to run it in nighttime sports car rallies. :wonderlan

Dont even have 1000 miles on it yet but the cold northeast weather is forcing me to wrench more than ride. Nothing over the top out of the ordinary, just different from bone stock.

Samson exhaust, Arlen Ness cheap shot, joker air cleaner, Joker pegs, and brake pedal. Joker speedo relocation. i became a big fan of joker. Headset compression trim, brake reservoir cover, headlight trim. relocated front signals. Homemade pullback drags with internal wiring. hd badlander seat and pass. pegs. (for my women). i also have a licks solo bag. next mods after the next season will be all motor mods, thats the plan we'll see.

yea it is easy to install. as long as you have a stand. just jack the bike up, take off the front wheel and slide down the stantion. it comes with butt connectors but i chose to solder the wires together, for a more secure connection. i really like how it retains the indicators. i did everything all at once but i would imagine it wont take more than 2 hours if you really take your time.

well you could always take the stock headlight and make a custom headlight bracket out of the old one and just turn it upside down. Krypto (http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/member.php?u=25652) did it to his and it looks slick.

Howz the availability on the Nightster? I like one in blue but none of the dealers around me seem to have it. How long usually does it take to get the color you want? Does anyone have any recent experience? With slow sales one would think that they should have a full warehouse.

Frinzo, you got a pretty bad ass bike!

[docholiday06]

Haven't posted in a while. Here are my 09 Mods finished... for now. :banana
Got a new seat, shocks, air cleaner, gas cap, mirrors, foot pegs, rear signals, fixed front turn signal,
relocated front fender to parts pile, and powder coated and painted some stuff. I'm sure I forgot something....

what tyres are those you are running?

[hunter_aran]

can someone tell me what dimensions these T-Bars are? or where i can get them at?

These are from Outlaw Cycle Products. The bars are 4.5" pullback and the same rise. FYI they will not work with the stock speedo, indicator light, or turn signal locations and also will not work with most inverted mirrors, a tank lift or wider tank. They make other sizes too and Harley has their own now.

[nightrider213]

hey doc, what pipes are those?

[Frinzo]

hunter - i bought them from coker tires. They are the ANS style tires. The front is 4in tall so you can not run the front fender, even if you make small brackets to clear the tire, u have to worry about the suspension rebound and it might hit the lower triple tree. they look really good and i like them, but i havent really ridin with them as the weather has been really crappy since i got the bike home..

iiweldman - yea thats my other ride. i would post pics but this isnt the place for that..if you want to see a better one let me know and i will gladly send a few pics

Now...that's the seat i want!...what kind of seat is this and how did you mounted it?

[Frinzo]

nosofast, bike looks good! i like how you painted the red on the valve covers and the part on the headlight, IMO u just need to bring some red to other parts of the bike, maybe red spokes or a red pin stripe on the rims? LOOKING GOOD either way!

[plucinskid]

Sorry guys I know it's a sporty forum but here is my 01 Nightrainster I put together last winter. The tank at least was a 1200N tank.

Never seen a Softail treatment like that. Great work, very original, even if it looks like a Nightster. HD should produce your bike.

Dude, could you show me a close-up of how the licence plate is mounted onto the bike. Via the axle somehow?

Thanks!

They'll see it on here and produce it next year as a addition to their "Dark Custom" line.:D

That looks really cool and the red is different. If it were me, I would accent the red with pinstripes on your wheels or red spokes or something like that. You have a lot of directions you can go now that you added the red...

I am a little worried though with your headlight pointing at the ceiling and all... isn't it hard to see?? ;)

[bones5150]

i love this thread, i will get pics of mine up soon

[gaddie08]

the nightrainster is XLFXLFXLFXLFing badass!!

NOSOFAST- that is a true nightster bobber. and i love the quote "I'm the new generation of soldiers coming home from war and chopping up are bikes.... New school bobber we have no rules its what we make and it is what it is............ "
I second that statement!!

[plucinskid]

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I wanted to build something factory ish that HD would be afraid to do. With the small tank I can still go about 110 mi.

plucinskid what size rear tire is that on the night train?

[illetrop]

30' drag bars, flame handle bars
drag specialities headlight

[plucinskid]

plucinskid what size rear tire is that on the night train?

It's a 250. I think 240 or even the stock 200 on the newer FXST's would of been nice too.I had to do a lot to get the 250 to fit the stock frame.

I did have to repaint the shields. High temp flat black worked great. I used a Unibit and matched the same size holes from the chain guard.

Most recent incarnation. Photo quality is garbage, so I'll take new ones sooner or later. Still waiting on a part from NYC choppers to complete the coil area.

How'd you put the turn signals by your forward controls?

what color ?

[007_Nightster]

Gloss black on the fender and tank, fender strut flat black.

And the tank will have the dark custom logo on it.

[indynitroguy]

Just joined...so here are a couple pics of mine...no near as custom as some others I have seen. Mine has a few subtle touches such as 14" internal wired Flanders bars and custom forward control extensions.

I run Hooker Headers Troublemakers and Screaming Eagle Heaver Breather on my '08 Nightster. Had a Crobra Fuel Processor and was putting out 74.28 HP and 73.28 ft lbs. of Torque on the dyno. Added 12' MINI Apes, Forward controls, rear seat, rear foot pegs, rack for traveling, fork bag, tank pouch. Swapped out the Cobra unit for the Harley Super Tuner and then put on the Dyno. She is now putting out 83.16 HP and 80.22 ft lbs. of Torque. What a differance

What passenger seat pillon is that? I've got an '07 nighty with the badlander seat, but I want to get the solo with pillon setup.

[vwclogan]

it looks like the mustang daytripper passenger pillon. but if you have the stock nightster solo seat you can get this kind of pillon on here [Link] (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Harley-Sportster-Passenger-Pillon-Seat-07-Up-Near-New_W0QQitemZ160407879493QQihZ006QQcategoryZ35566Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ht_929wt_1043 ), it has a lot more cushion, the pillon, not the stock seat.

Yo, DaveP, that headlight mount is cleaver! I like it! Also, I knew that seat could work with the older nightsters, i had a little discussion at the dealership that anyone with some creativity could fit it on a older nightster, they tried to tell me it couldn't be done. Thanks for proving me right, looks great man!

[Krlyman]

Has anyone ever wondered why the HD lettering on the stock tank of the Nightster doesn't line up with the trim line? That really bugs me.

@Hildreth, The service department at my stealership told me that "no way" will the seat fit on a Nightster. Parts department told me different (figure that out). Bolted right up no problem whatsoever. Just need to relocate the ECM.

[Folkie]

Figure it out? It's not difficult: they're idiots!
