Default Finally picked her up!

I'm new to HD and bought a low mileage 07' Nightster about two months ago since all the 08's were sold out across Canada. I Ordered a whack load of preliminary stuff and after waiting and waiting I FINALLY picked her up on Thursday (the hypercharger was the culprit). I'm doing it up a bit differently as you can see, adding some chrome to contrast that dark feel. I LOVE how it turned out and thought I'd share some pics. A few more mods will be coming shortly, primarily a new set of bars and a different seat...

thanks guys, i've got big plans come the winter...

as far as the braided lines coming out of the hypercharger... some kind of breather line or something? All I know is that they were waiting forever on those lines and some different gaskets to fit this hypercharger on an 07'. Apparently they've only got kits for up to 06', but either way, ITS ON THERE NOW!
