If I had a Nightster, I will keep it clean and add simple pinstriping on the tank and fenders, just my $0.02 cents.

I like the skull on the oil bag, but not the "Nightster" text. But I would do something smaller or more "ratty" - less HD.

I have to agree... I think the OD green skull looks great! The "Nightster" on the tank is a bit much. I actually really like the tank as it sits. I think Harley did an amazing job on the Nightster two-tones, and the logo is just right.

What about puting the nightster name on the side covers and the skull in black on the rear fender?
