Here's my nightrod special I had for 3+ years. Just sold and got my new softail. NR is fast as hell, I did some mods with a 260 metz rear. Wasn't many other Harley's that kept up. Straight batman bike. If you get the nightrod you will be tempted to go very fast lol.

I road one and it flys, you have to ride it like a jap bike, they are very smooth and for pipes there are some that sound real good, met a couple that both had one and they did sound real good, not sure what they had for pipes. I love my 'Train one I will keep for a real long time, it keeps changing al the time

Every time I go into the dealership the Nightrod always catches my attention, its just a totally different look then any other HD out there, I dont care for the standard vrod but the nightrod sets it apart, but with that said, there is no way I would trade my train for one.. wouldnt happen.
