Welcome to the forum. I think you'll get a lot of questions and requests for pix. The forum is buzzing with 'N' talk.

I'll get some pics up soon. since I got the first one, the dealer asked if they could keep it till another one arrives. I should have mine home like tueasday or so.

and fire away if you have questions, I'll answer anything I wont lose my job over.. hahaha..

yep, I did

Ron, Welcome! When I saw your bike at Worth's I could only say, "Well done, HD." The dealer rep (and saleman) said the bike has internal changes that give it additional power/performance. Can you speak to that? Have you considered having it dyno'd? (mine was the first EFI sporty on Worth's new dyno).

Please post riding impressions as soon as possible here and on the hdforums.com. Your bike is causing a real stir, so please keep us informed.

I hate to say it.. but the motor is stock. confirmed today with the capitol drive rep at work. why they advertise it as something else, I dont know. he said the only change was the color.

i'm looking further into this though, if and when i get some specs i'll let you know

:welcome rolnlow! You work at the plant, how cool!!!

That's great news to hear. What have you heard about the new
"sexy european" XR1200? Are you building them too? Will they sell here too?

C'mon, you can tell us, we know how to keep a secret.

:welcome from me!:spineyes

to be real honest, I'm not to sure how I can comment on that. but i pronise I will ask tommorow, keep in mind the bikes I usually know as "project names" not they're market names. I'll see what I can find out on that one.

I think I know which one your talking about, but of course I know it by a different name.. if its the same one.

.......the motor is stock.......why they advertise it as something else, I dont know....

Black is faster - that motor is blacker......

When you go to the picture that has information bits as you mover the curser (Under the Nightster, to to "features" then click "powertrain") the website boasts that the Nightster has "Highflow heads, performance cams..." etc. However, if you go to the other 1200cc Sportsters, the same information is there. Regardless, this is one nice bike.

Hi and welcome from Texas!

Welcome from Nebraska.

Welcome to XL Forum from Louisville Ky.

Welcome aboard! My brother has mentioned heading to your plant once a year when you offer the test drives (at least I think it's at the plant???? Do you know if that's right or when it is?) I'd like to get down there next time around, sounds like a good event. Glad to have you here, that 1200N is one sweet ride!

Hello from KCK! I just saw a nightster at Central H-D in Olathe. It was the silver and black one. Can't wait to see the orange and black one. It's nice to have a plant worker on the forum. Thanks for joining! Hopefully we vcan get a KC ride together this spring. Maybe take a trip out to Lawrence to see the new dealership there...Welcome aboard!!

well, I found I'm safer by saying, I cant coment. sorry. all I can say is be patient.

Welcome from another KC area member. Congrats on the bike!

There is post on the Missouri board to plan a spring ride. We can plan other shorter rides too... Maybe put together a list of people that would want to be called at anytime to see if they were interested in taking a ride?
