New mods, new pics
So the bike is getting closer to it's final stance... newest mods include a set of flanders bars, front fender gone bye bye, a 2.5" shaved back stock seat with laser etched leather, 883 clutch cable and drag specialty throttle cables to clean up the bars, retro-fitted PSP storage box with locking latch (still pivots like stock license plate bracket), 3" tank lift (brackets not yet beautified)... and I think that's about it for the moment.
I really like the new image of the bike with the tank lift, although I'd like to bend the back tank bracket a bit to get the rear of the tank sitting a bit lower to hide the gap. Not sure if it's worth messing around with but I think it would look a lot cleaner.
Electrical clean-up, install forward control extensions, and matte out a bunch of gloss black coming up next!

Hey, Love the seat and the drilled belt guard! Not to crazy about the tank lift. Maybe to high? Lower to cover the wiring? I was going to take my belt guard off but I think I like the drilled look better. Mark

The drilled guard is stock on the nightster, but it does look cool.

Nice. You can't go wrong with chrome naked ladies.
Stainless breather lines are way cool.
I guess Mark doesn't know the belt guard is factory.
The chrome engine pieces (rocker boxes, primary, etc.) go in a little different direction than most Nightsters. Looks almost as good as ******* and beer!

HOLY EFFING PLASTIC! You needa clean that **** up bad.....tank lift looks HORRIBLE with that wiring and plastic crap everywhere.
PS...a Frisco'd tank is supposed to sit ON the back bone, not ABOVE it....if you're gonna do it, for the love of god do it right, man.
