Default My Nightster

here are pics of my bike. so far the mod list includes:

-V&H shortshots with the heat shields ceramic coated matte black
-Fuelpak
-Screamin' Eagle Heavy Breather intake
-Polished forward controls with custom pegs and shifter
-turn signals relocated with smoked lenses front and back (red bulbs in rear)
-Brawler seat
-Progressive fork springs
-Progressive 412 shocks 11.5"
-Wrinkle black primary and inspection covers

Still to come: I have a set of drag bars and 6" straight risers (off a nighttrain), '03 custom speedo bracket and top clamp all powder coated matte black waiting to be installed (i am just waiting on the wiring harness for the dummy lights)[:@]

How did you manage to get the plate to go Up & down? Is that a simple adjustment? It looks great.

Looks great. Those pipes set it off. I want to get smoked front indicator lights for mine also, but doesn't look like they make replacement kits for the nightster. That's cool that you moved yours, how did you mount them?

It is real easy. Take of the plate, and there is a nut an bolt that goes through the center of the bracket, that allows you to slide the bracket to fit your plate. Take off the sliding part, mount the plate long ways and look even cooler than your buddies

the smoked indicator lenses are the same ones used for the sportster. i bought the relocation brackets from the dealer. they had a set on the rack. I think they were made by "custom chrome"
