Default Nightster Mods

I have an 08 Nightster. Wide Avon Whitewalls. HD black mini-apes. Forward Controls. Wrinkle black rockerbox covers. Black V&H shortshots. Stage 1. I like the Kuryakan skull cleaner to replace the ham can but they don't make it yet and I want it in black wrinkle anyway. I am a member of Rolling Thunder so I would like a POW/MIA theme on the bike. I found a gas cap cover. Now I'm looking for a derby cover. This is the best I've found so far. The bad news is that they don't make it for the Sportster. That SUCKS!! Anybody know where I can get a POW/MIA Derby cover for my Nightster that looks something like this?

Sorry I don't have a picture of the bike yet. I'm new to this. I'll get one and post it as soon as I can.

Here's a pic of my Nightster with the Avons. I think the dealer thought I was crazy at the time but since then he has sold several with whitewalls.

Are the HD Black mini-apes 12" ? I love them, but they might be too high for me (I am 5' 3-1/2"). Might have to see if anyone sells 10" ??

I love the look. The white handgrips are too cool. I put black bycycle grips on mine. Taking the front fender off is another nice touch. Good job.

Did you put BMX or mountain bike style grips on it? I'd like to see how it looks. I'm thinking of putting some motocross style grips on mine.

I just bought my first HD, a 2005 XL1200 Roadster. The seller told me that most parts from the Nightster will fit the Roadster, is this true?

I live in Amarillo, and been having a problem with the Roadster starting on cold days (my only complaint thus far).
