Default military themed nightster in Denver you out there?

I know its a shot in the dark but saw a very unique Nightster today while out at lunch and would love to get some info on the bike. It was definitely a Nightster or Iron and I say Nightster because it had spoke wheels instead of solid.

Bike is custom painted green with white star on the side of the tank, I believe mini-apes, and ammo boxes mounted as saddle bags.

If its not already posted on here Im sure there are lots of people who would find this bike pretty cool...or maybe just me and thats OK too

Thats a classic theme, a lot of bikes sport it. My project bagger will be painted that way.

I have seen the big twins done up in this style a lot more frequently and all look good...but this one being a smaller bike made it a little different.

any idea on a search phrase for Youtube? No luck so far...

I'm bumpin' your thread 'cause I'd like to see this come together! In the mean time, this dude did a photoshop of his ideas...don't know where he is but it's obviously an Iron. The pic was called "Military-droppedtank" if you do a search on it.

I think I saw that same guy too some time back. Probably around 6 to 8 months ago in Arizona filling up at a Chevron. I think it's the same guy because I remember the ammo boxes. I told the guy it was a sick bike and he thanked me and rode off.
