I've been riding nearly 40 years but have never bought a Harley. I hadn't really considered cruisers in the past but have been noticing some nices ones lately. Then I saw the Nightster on MotorcycleDaily.com - Wow! I have an olive green/black one on order now. I really like the retro style.

I'll be trading/selling a Buell Ulysses to make room for the Nightster. (I'd rather have a 650 for my dual sport/adventure rides.)

My other current bikes:
2003 Honda Silverwing 600 scooter
2001 Kawasaki Super Sherpa 250
1981 Yamaha XV920R "Euro"

Wife's bikes:
2004 Suzuki Burgman 400 scooter
2006 Honda Ruckus 250 scooter
2007 Piaggio MP3 3-wheel scooter (on order)

The Burgman 400 was the best pillion seat I have ever bought! We never ride two-up anymore. Last summer, we spent 3 weeks riding the maxi-scooters from Seattle to Banff/Jasper/Edmonton/Waterton/Glacier. Bikes were perfect for that laid-back tour.

The only plans for the Nightster (so far) are to upgrade to Progressive shocks and springs. Thanks for the installation tips on this forum!!

:welcome from Boulder, Colorado.

There are many Nightster threads, all with fantastic information (pros, cons, vaguely related information). Congrats on the first Harley and on finding the best Sportster site on the 'net!
