Default N00b with a Nightrain

Hello all- new here and loving it so far... already posted in the "New Members" section and took some updated pix of my '08 Nightrain today with new mods.

-Stage 1 upgrade with V&H Shortshots Staggered Black, K&N Aircleaner and download\
-HD forkbag
-HD "Willie G. Skull" brake pedal and shift peg
-HD Brawler solo saddle
-trickle charger
-removed rear pegs

Next up will be an HD Profile 2" rear suspension drop and a custom rear fender to replace the Bobtail. Also on order are HD swingarm bolt and axle covers in, of course, black. After that, my aim is to make the bike completely black. Hello powdercoaters!!

Cheers all!

Holy HELL your bike is hot. Can I ask about the rear fender? Is it a Heartland? I inquired about the EZ200 package, but just the fender and struts (no rock guard, no seat) and they wantd $1400 for just the two things. Wow. Mucho dinero.

The new rear fender really makes the bike. Otherwise, that's a sharp looking ride as it sits now!
