Default Night train bars on nightster

hey guys
im looking to pick up a set of drag bars from a night train for my nightster. I was wondering if i would have any trouble putting them on. I like the night train bars and figured it would be easier than buying something else. If anyone has any info on this please let me know.
thanks

I feel for you with no responses to a good question.

If the diameter of the pipe on the bars is the same then they should fit. I'm not sure what the night train bars look like but your only real concern beyond the bar diameter is cable length it could be you would have to make some changes to the cables.

I put these drag bars on my nightster and love them.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GLOSS...em370038888635

The bars are powder coated gloss or flat black so they don't chip or scratch as easy as stock HD bars.

It took about 2 weeks to get them, but worth the wait. The night train bars should work fine if they are 1 inch bars.
