Default HELP REMOVING NIGHTSTER BATTERY

Hey all, battery is dead so Im gonna charge it, but the Nightster has a vertical clamp holding the battery in, and I cant seem to get it out of there! Any help?
And I also ran over a nail round an inch long, should I take it out or.... Needless to say bad luck with my bike lately

Default RE: HELP REMOVING NIGHTSTER BATTERY

I don't know about the battery but if I remember correctly, your bike has spoked wheels so there's a tube which is probably toast. Probably doesn't matter whether you take the nail out or not, it probably won't hold air.
