Wow, that is a nicely done Nightster! Those are clip-on bars that attach to the fork tubes. Here's a link to some nice ones: http://www.crossroadsperformance.com...roducts_id=108

What I want to know is what's up with that killer hardtail strut and seat setup? Very cool..

Thats pretty cool, I like the hard tail conversion. Those type of bars come stock on all sport bikes. You could probably pick some up for cheap if you watch e-bay.

That looks badarse. I love the look of it and wish I had ***** enough to chop on mine. That has got to be one harsh ride. I love what he did with the brake light.

Ok...Im the Black Sheep here. Don't really care for the looks of that particular Nightster. The wheels and tires are cool, but I hate those bars. To me, the bike looks better with mini-apes.

Wow, I'm in love.

That's it, I think I'm pulling the trigger on the Nightster over the Street Bob now.

Save the Ape project for something big, I love that cafe look on that Sporty!

[p.s. I wander how he mounted the rear fender... Looking again, I see the struts are gone!]

Definitely not practical. That is a bike that I wouldn't wanna ride. I enjoy not having back pain a bit too much.
Just my opinion. [8D]
