Default Nightster Questions

I've been trying to locate information on color for the Nightster and finding differing reports.

In what years was the Brilliant Silver Denim/Black Denim two-tone offered? Was this scheme region specific? Not sure why but Canada is loaded with black ... the two-tone variations are fairly rare. Perhaps it's my interest in the two-tone that's rare.

I'm also trying to confirm that mid controls was standard on all years (alternatively, forward controls are standard for the forty-eight).

Many thanks.



Brilliant Silver Denim/Black Denim

Go here and do a search for "Nightster"...

https://www.bikez.com/main/index.php

Believe that color scheme was for the 2007 to 2009 models.

Mid controls are standard.

Go here and search using the year of your Nightster and Nightster - https://serviceinfo.harley-davidson....cle/lookupForm

Search for example 2018 Nightster and look for a painted parts list for your year-

Or
Go to http://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche.....asp?make=hdmc

Select your year, then choose Nightster -

Click on the Model Info , it will list the colors available that year.

The other parts areas will show what parts were used on the Nightster like footrests.

International markets can differ quite a lot from the USA and historically Canada has it's own issues, where importing Harleys is concerned! Specifications may be slightly different from the USA (they certainly are here in the UK), as can the range of colours made available. Is yours a Canada spec, or a US import?

I Have that exact Nightster & I'm located in Toronto. I don't think this colour combo is too rare. Only exception is that mine has forward controls.
