Default Perfect in stock trim.....yeah, right.

When I scratched out the check for my Nightster I thought, "Man, that bike is perfect as is." Ok, it's been 4 days and I am thinking of things to change already! The sickest part is, I don't even have her home yet! She is still at the shop getting the Stage 1. LOL!

So, the front fender. Remove or chop back to about 4 inches on either side of the fender mount?

I know the plate is going to be mounted vertically, which should be a no-brainer, but a lighted or non-lighted plate frame?

Something's gotta change with the timing and derby cover. I'm glad I know a guy with a powdercoating business.

See what happens when a guy gets a new bike and it's cold and snowing outside! LOL!

Well, at least with the Nightster you've got a badass bike to start with! When my bike was stock I felt like I was riding a freakin Honda Shadow. Damn buckhorns and stock pipes....

Don't feel bad. I thought I was out of trouble when I bought my Buell. "What it could it possibly need, it has everything already!"

Well, luggage system, tank trim, new muffler, air filter, a bunch of freebie mods, ECM reprogram, seat, windsheild, lighting, bars, paint...

you get the idea.
