Default 2008 Nightster/Bobber (in progress)

Over the past year been doing a little customization on my nightster, just wanted too put a pic up see what everybody thinks about it. Still have a few more things too install. heres whats been done so far, removed front fender, V&H Exhaust (holes I drilled in shields), SE heavy breather, Danny Gray Custom seat, Licks Struts, Jaybrake Pegs & shifter peg, Fwd Controls, Removed belt guard, new lens covers on front and back signals... Next project is relocating front signals, raising gas tank, RSD handlebars.

I like the tool bag location as well, I can't do that on my bikes as I have the front fenders still on and they will hit the bag.

Looks good, not feeling the seat though. I think it kicks up too high in the rear. But otherwise looks like a good start to a nice bobber

As far as the seat it does kick up more than i thought it would but its so much more comfortable than the stock seat plus with the struts and it being rigid now a good ride it has rides better now than it did stock, plus it gives the bike nice tight lines on the frame.
