Default Maximus's 2012 Black Denim 1200 Nightster Progression

I figure it would be easier to track the progression of my Nightster in a single thread.

Bought it used and with a lot of bolt on goodies. 2012 Black Denim paint which I like because it was only a 1 year option with the red stripe. It came with a nice scratch on the tank but that was a good bargaining tool during price talk.


Things already on the bike when I acquired it:

V&H Strait Shot Slip-ons
Performance Machine FASTair intake (Glad it wasn’t my $500 on that upgrade!)
V&H Fuel Pak Fuel Management System
Chrome forward controls (not thrilled about chrome but doesn’t bother me enough to drop the coin on black)
Rear HD Black foot pegs and terrible 2-up add-on seat that slipped over the stock single
Rivco L.E.D. Lighted Turn Signal Mirrors (Didn’t care for them at first but have REALLY grown on me. They have amber LED on front and Red on the mirror side which is great for visibility at night when turning)
Todd's Cycle 1" Speed Cafe Handlebars (Thanks to Ratwerke for identifying them!)
Cheap Biltwell Grips

Day I brought her home:







Posts from here on out will be of modifications I have made to make it my own...

Thanks.

Does anyone have any clue what my handlebars are? I have searched through a few big retailers and haven't found any quite like them

Haven't seen those bars before... but I'm no expert.
Almost look like inverted club bars from a cafe style.
If you ever change em out, I might be interested.
