Congrats on the street bob...it is a sweet bike. Sorry to see you'll selling your nightster. It is one of the nicer ones I've seen.

Did you get it from Destination?

Thanks Schu. I was surprised at the "deal" I was able to get. It is really never a "deal" but since I did all my own work on the bike I about broke even with the trade.

I'm glad you got a good deal but when I traded my bike in I stripped it back to stock and ebayed the parts. After everything was said and done between the trade and the money I made back on parts I'd say I made out pretty damn good........ Well good enough to sign papers on my dream bike. I started out looking to trade the Nightster for a Street Bob just because I needed a bigger bike, but after thinking about it I went all out and said F-It and went with the FLHX. If only I had enough cash in the bank to have one of everything!!!

A sad day indeed. Enjoy my friend and post some pics!

I'm holding onto my N and getting a 'bigger' bike when it's paid for. If I had my way, I'd have 3 or 4 bikes in the garage.
