Deposit on a 1200N today
Guess I'm new to the HD family here!
I've had my eye on the 1200N Nightster for a while now. At lunch, I took a ride over to the local dealer to take a look up close - BIG MISTAKE! They had 3 Nightsters on the floor:
Vivid Black
Suede Blue Pearl /Vivid Black
and
Brilliant Silver Denim/Black Denim
They told me these were the last Nightsters they would be getting this year so if I wanted one, I better go for it.
The Blue didn't do anything for me but I was really torn between the Vivid Black and the Silver Denim/Black.
After much agonizing (actually, still agonizing) I put a deposit on the Silver Denim. I loved the Black, but I dug the Matte finish of the Silver. Wish Harley had an all Matte Black option. Hope that I made the right choice. Would love to hear some opinions on the color choice.

I liked the black/silver the best too. But all matte black would probably be best. I might get mine painted.

Ive got the vivid black myself and love it so far but then again i only have 350 miles on it. Kansas weather is crazy stupid right now. Nice today 75 is the high but also the high winds are gonna kill me if i take it out may take that chance anyways25-30 mile gusts from what they say. My suggestion to you is get all the things included in the loan so you dont have to worry about it later. #1 suggestion is pipes they are quiet as hell stock and maybe some forward controls if you like that if not got with some adjustable highway pegs for sure.
