Lets See Your Nightster

[H-D Night 28]

Lets see all the Nightster's out there. Post your pics and let us know what kind of mods you have made. Even if its just bone stock lets see them. I think this thread will give many people looking to mod their own Nightster some great ideas and for those who have done their mods a great place to show off.

So to start this off. Here is a pic of my new 09. Just got it a few weeks ago. The only mods so far a 1/2 inch hole drilled through the baffle plug.

[nightsterRyder]

new to forum, any tips on posting pics?

[H-D Night 28]

nightsterRyder,

You can go to photobucket.com and get a free account. Upload your pics there and when you post in the window where you write there is an icon which looks like a mountain. You will just need to click on the icon and then type in the url which photobucket will give once you upload your pic there. Hope this helps.

[Oly_Nightster]

My bike has come a long way. I finally got it where I liked it and then got rear ended, not a week after the pinstriping was done. I just got it back a week ago and snapped a few quick pics. Doesn't quite do it justice.

Here it is after I got hit:

Nighster Owner,

Which clamps did you use to re mount the lights to the forks? I was checking a few out but was not sure which one to get. BTW are the nightster forks 39mm or 41mm

... BTW are the nightster forks 39mm or 41mm


All Rubbermounts are 39mm.

FD2BLK,

How do you like the drag bars versus stock? Is it much different of a feel. I have never ridden with drag bars but love the look.

vtdrugs,
I was was following your build on another thread. Your bike actually convinced me to buy a Nightster. I've been riding for 24 years and I just put a deposit down on my 1st Harley last weekend. How brutal are those rigid struts on your back? My backs not in the greatest shape and as much as I love the looks, I just don't think my back could handle them.....Nice Ride!

Thank! Not to bad with a springer seat. I broke my hip last year and have 15 screws in it and I've ridden 300miles at a time. Sometimes it's the price you have to pay

[vilification]

Wicked cool front end. How much may I ask?

[jimmyess333]

I gotta admit I love these damn bikes.
Had they come out a year earlier and came in an 883 when I bought mine I would have been all over it.
None to worry, being a Sporty as it is, all the elements I like are merely bolt on and the things I don't use I would have changed on the Nightster anyway.
I'm still considering the N rims and front fender down the road.

[H-D Night 28]

Chucky,

Nice ride bro. What size are those bars?

[Fastfwd01]

Wow! I thought this thread might be kinda boring with the same old bikes, but as much as I’ve been trying to follow this forum – I haven’t seen half the bikes posted here. Some really incredible looking Nightsters man! Really inspirational. I haven’t seen a Nightster done as well as some of these new to me pics.

I wanted to soften mine up a bit for weekend trips and whatnot. Black Progressive 412s, Mustang Vintage Solo seat…..really help out the ride. Stage 1 mods: Black Vance and Hines Short Shots, Screamin’ Eagle A/C, and Vance and Hines Fuelpak. Diamond Black grips and pegs, Dark Customs derby/timer covers……black front, rear, and swing arm bolt covers.

I thought that I would be done with it, but I’m now tinkering with the idea of some drag bars with risers tall enough to bring them back to where my hands are now. I love the position of the stock bars, but they don’t look all that cool in my opinion.

The bars you are talking about is what I'm looking for also. If you find some please let me know, as i have not had much luck figure out how to do it.

Where did you get the black swing arm and fork nut covers. Can you point me in the right direction?

They’re all in the new Harley parts book. My swing arm bolt cover just finally came in last week. The others have been available for a month or so. Just go to your local Harley dealer and ask about them.

i love the dark custom derby cover and black diamond grips. i have the dark custom derby cover on mine as well. One thing that sets that off in my opinion is the black chain inspection cover which is $15. Just a thought.

How well does the bag stay on? I have been wanting one of these but did not want to put a detach sissy bar on my bike. I actually like the look of the detach rack.

New Smaller Single seat. Need suggestions here.
Black Luggage Rack.
Dark Custom timer cover to match my derby cover.

i am open to suggestions if anyone would like to share. I favor a clean but vintage look...

I wasn’t overly impressed with the straps and buckles that hold that bag on. I put a safety pin through the front strap just to make sure nothing let go.

I dig the detachable rack…..it’s certainly not cheap, but it’s nice to be able to just unclip it when I get where I’m going and not have to lug it around if I don’t want to.

[jimmyess333]

maybe it's just me but are the N's the bikes that people are customizing the most?

I don't know about "most" but there are definitely a lot more being done lately.
Now that they've been around a few years they have finally come into their own.
People have had some time to look them over and apply some imagination plus the aftermarket is finally catching up.
Although I'm not into every aspect of the N (I'm not into lowered bikes and I still prefer a traditional tail light), beautiful bikes they are.

1. They fit no problem. I think HD just says it as a discalimer because they are a lil bit longer than stock and they don't have feelers. And the bike being so low, it just covers their a$$ just in case someone scrapes them. But, you don't have to do anything special to fit them.

2. Yes, they are the RSD short stacks.

Thanks for the info!!

sorry, 1 more ? did you have to buy extended cables in order for the short stacks to fit?

Fellow nightster enthusiasts:
I'm looking to add my own customized touches to my 07 nightster, but I'm new to the mechanical end of customizing and don't want to get in over my head. I am very good with following schematics and diagrams and I'm not afraid to do my own work, but I don't want to make modifications which could effect my engine performance until I get some advice from riders/grease monkeys who have been there done that. I did buy the service manual from the HD stealer. Here's my dilemma. I want to swap out my exhaust and would love an RB 2 into 1 exhaust, unfortunately this would clean out my budget leaving nothing for an upgraded air cleaner or PCIII. Is it absolutely necessary to upgrade the AC and add a PCIII when swapping with an after market exhaust, or should I just go to the dealership and have the bike "remapped" for the correct air fuel mixture? I can always go with a Supertrapp 2 into 1 which will save me enough at least for a PCIII. What do you guys think?

Buy the pipes, get a 1 meg ohm resistor with 1/4Watt and 1% tolerance then buy mooneyes aircleaner ($30 or so). You might have to modify to fit though. Save you oney and buy PC3 later. You can enrich the setting with these resistors...

[volatile77]

Any body put exhaust wrap on their Nightster? I have an 09, and while I love the bike, I hate the chrome exhaust. So, instead of spending $1000+ for new V&H pipes, I would rather wrap them...but I am afraid it will make my bike look like crap.

Thoughts?

Updated pic with seat, shock, and rear fender mods....:smoke


Hey Krypto,

Awesome ride... I do like springers and blacked out bikes so you got the best of both!
BTW, what kinda shocks are those? Are they progressives with the full cover or something else?

[LuckyB]

Hey volitile, if you think the wrap wont look good you could got the same route i did, with a little prep work and some patients it looks really good, pull off you heat sheilds and sand the crap out of them with some fine grit sand paper, 180 or 200 should be enough, then get either some high temp paint or the actual exhaust paint they sell at autozone and spray em down, pull of the mufflers and reapeat the same process, just be sure to skuff up the chrome real good and wipe them down with some alcahol or degreasing agent, i did this to mine back in july and it has held up really well, no chipping at all and it'll let you save up the bucks till you can get what you really want.

[Night1200]

Volatile,

V&H Black shortshots for 377.95 shipped from Eastern performance or 299.98 in chrome. the wrap and spray will run about 50 to 60 bucks.

I know this has nothing to do with the topic but when I see a trailer I always think of this. And you might have heard this before but I thought it was worth mentioning. It happened to a guy around here, he blew a tire on his trailer and it pulled the bike off the road into the ditch and he was killed. Just a word of caution/concern about pulling a trailer.

First off I'd like to say nice bikes guys! Some really inspirational rides there! Got my head goin all different kinda directions. LOL! Keep em comin!

Hey Volatile. I am/was running the chrome V&H staggered shortshots, but liked the look of the black set which came out after I had purchased the others. I took my heat shields off and took them to work where we have a sandblaster with very very fine medium. Like talc almost. I blasted them with that and it didn't remove the chrome but took the shine off making them look light gray. I then gave them 3 thin coats of BBQ paint. They look great and after two seasons are really holding up well. Better in fact than the factory paint on the tins, lol! Looks nice with the chrome tips of the pipes coming out the ends about 1/4".

I'm sure you can find someone to blast them like that for you. It only took 15 or 20 minutes, so I can't see where it would cost you that much. The BBQ paint was about $3.00.
If you like the look of the wrap I don't see why you can't do that either. Nothing ventured.......:smoke

I have a new WCC rear fender that should be in anyday. Once it arrives, Im going to chop the rear struts. Ive ordered a wide glide conversion kit for the front end, and shuold have that on within the next 10-14 days..and finally, Im going to a chain drive so I can slip a 180 rear into it.

[jamesfulmer]

i like the "z" bars personally. how's the ride with the struts and no springer seat? what are some differences that you notice as far as with and with out shocks? just curious

[TheLAW]

The ride is really pretty good.....of course it helps to run 20 psi in a rear tire that big as well.

I truly like the rigid/strut option better than the shocks. Yes, the ride is more comfortable with the progressives, but damn.......that slammed look and the raw feeling of the road is sweet.

I want to ride something nasty and loud.....not something cushy and calm. Thus, I have what I have. Not to say the other is "bad"......just not for me right now....one of these days, maybe......but not right now!

[GoldfishPimp]

Well, here’s mine. I friend and I both bought 1200Ns last October and have been tinkering with them over the winter. Last night about 7PM, we finished out winter projects and went for a very enjoyable ride around Tulsa. There for a while, I thought I might have made a mistake buying a Nightster (being 200 plus lbs and 6' 2”), but that all changed after I got the bars and forwards on. I’ve owned numerous bikes since 86”, but this is my first Harley and it’s been the “fun-est” bike I’ve ever owned.

I wanted to say thanks to xlfourm and it’s members; a ton of you answered my newbie questions and I got a lot of ideas for my bike off of you guys. Thanks anitasanger for making me do the wire extention myself (yes, I wanted to give up and pay someone to do it) :madtwo:headbang

In a nutshell, this is what I’ve done:

Intake/Exhaust: Samson Streetsweepers, V&H Fuelpak and Roland Sands Venturi Intake.
Handle Bars: Lick’s Fatty 12” Z’s
Seat: LePera Silhouette
Forwards/Pegs/Grips/Cables – Harley
Covers – Harley Dark Custom – I’ve taken some flak for putting these on, but they remind me of Evil Kinievel and when I started to love motorcycles…. I dig em’

Here are some pics………..(hope not too many)

Papa- Thanks. I actually first saw the HD forwards on your bike; your bike's awesome. As far as the Venturi goes... I've only got a couple hundred miles on it; no issues yet. You basically apply liquid gasket to a chamber that completely encloses the breather bolts. Hopefully I sealed that well enough.

nice bike T, great pics! had fun grease-monkeying with you. yes, that ride down CP through downtown main, round the circle, down 15th to memorial, through 71st down to riverside was dang rewarding. :banadanc i'll post pics of my heap when i can figure out how to get melted converse rubber off of my short-shot. goo-gone perhaps? anyone here have experience with melted rubbers?

looks good to me

[projectracerabbit]

I agree good looking bike, maybe my screen but it just looks a little doctered. a little too black in some areas. I do not mean to offend, I really dig it, just curious as a fellow photochoper and nightster owner, I have pchopped mine to see what it will look like doing different mods and especially when it gets back from the powder coaters/my indy
thats all, just curious

[rider]

Thats the bike as she sits. There is a lot of blacked out hardware etc. I painted just about every raw bolt with black paint, steady hand, small brush, and lots of patience. Its all good, before I bought the bike I printed a pic of stock bike, and went to town with my kids markers. The vision has come to life, other than the intake has to go.
