Looks like a wide springer.Just my opinion,butI don't think Sportsters look right withwide springers.They look much better with a narrow springer or even a Donny Smith type girder.It's also 6" over and may be a little long for the stock rake.

RE: Springer front end
I don't know about that particular front end. But I do know that you need to really think about buying from Demon Cycles. I bought a wide glide front end, raked and extended. They garauntied it would fit my bike. I got it, and found it had a bunch of small scratches all over the forks and tubes. They said it must have happened during shipping, and I should take it up with UPS. Then, it didn't fit my bike.....not even close!! Still, they swore up and down that it would fit. Then they said they would accept a return, and deduct a 17% restocking fee, plus I pay all shipping....if everything was "in 100% perfect condition". Well, I got it all scratched up, so it was nearly perfect when recieved. I shouldn't have to pay a restocking fee for their error! The triple trees don't fit! It was their mistake, not mine. So instead of fighting with them, I just resold them on Ebay for about 1/2 of what I paid.
So, beware when dealing with Demon Cycles......they ARE NOT customer friendly!

Mark G,
How'd those black metal grips work out for you? I was curious about vibration and those absorbing too much heat in the summer and too much cold in the winter.
Was looking to get those but finally just went with HD Nostalgic grips with my drag bars

I have to say I have never dealt with Demon cycles but I have heard a lot of horror stories about their products being wrong or damaged and the customer service sucks.I would think twice about buying from them.But as I said this is not personal experience.

I think that front end would look badass on the nightster, I bought my mirrors from Demon Cycles and didn't have a problem. Ofcourse they are a lot smaller and easier to install....I would buy from them again
