Default My "new" Night Rod

My dad, who has decided to give up riding, gave me his like new 2007 Night Rod. I've put a couple of thousand miles on this bike, since he bought it new. He's probably put 4 or 5 thousand miles on it. I'm a bit sad he won't be riding anymore, but I'm excited to get the Night Rod, this thing is a blast, and will make for great ride days, when the wife doesn't want to go with.

Great looking machine. My son is interested in my 12 NRS but he'll have a long wait. I'm only 77 and plan on riding for a long time yet.

Just delivered it to the dealer to install the stage II cams that add 20HP to the rear wheels next week. Can't wait to try it out.

I had a 2007 NightRod for a couple years as well. The thing was bullet proof! Gave me zero problems.... just an oil change every couple thousand miles. It was a head turner for sure everywhere I went. Ended up trading it in on a new Bagger because I got a crazy good offer on it and wanted to do more touring orientated riding. Wouldn’t mind picking another 1 up down the road tho
