I was looking at photos today of my husband's Sporty Custom and my Nightster and then after seeing my Nightster, looked at HD's website (which of course shows the Nightster in absolute perfection) but....

Does anyone else think the lines (wiring) coming from my handlebars are kind of long and bubble out too much? If not, ok. If so, how do I fix it?

My husband's bike doesn't have that same look with all the excess I have showing and neither did the Harley Davidson website (when checking out the '08 Nightster in the 360 degree photo). Is this normal?

Sorry, the photos are a tad blurry.

Thanks!

 

It looks pretty normal to me. The best way to clean it up, is to run the wiring internally inside the bars.

 

Thanks! That's all I needed to know. So many users on this forum have different handle bars so I wasn't 100% sure.

 

yep, they're all wrong. Better cut them off

 

If you dont want to run them internally you can just zip tie them to the frame and bars, I did to the single braided line on my sporty *Tear* Slow work, but works

 

I'm more concerned about the rats nest of wires between the tank and engine, I'm going to pull the tank off this winter and organize that mess.

 

It's that damn solo bag you but on there, I told you to go with saddle bags like mine, (hee,hee) just kidding. Your bike looks great. Ride safe

 

Funny, I guess I am a rare bird in that I rather LIKE the looks of the wiring on the Nighster - makes it more of a raw "machine" look that I like.

 

Tara,
Are you trying out for a bobsled team in that third picture or what?

 

OKAY!!! Smartass Charlie!! LOL I want to be safe. I've only been riding my bike for a whole 2 weeks. I can count the number of times I've been on my bike on 2 hands (maybe 8 times?)!! You should see me try to go from a dead stop on a steep hill. I'm still practicing. Oh well, I can always slap you around on the 13th.

Anyway, thanks to the REST OF YOU guys and gals for your input!!!
