Lightbulb Nightster Opinion
Hi friends, I am confused about the type of exhaust I want to install on my 08 Nightster. I want to do some changes to it but I want to keep the bike with an OLD SCHOOL look.

Do you think the Supertrapp exhausts as per photos attached are really Old School look???

Please help. I found these pics on the net.

All opinions are welcome and helpful

Not old school. I think they look way too "flashy" to be on a old-school themed bobber like the Nightster.

If you really want old school, you might look into getting some black pipes and wrapping them.

The Law is right about black pipes with wrap on them but those pipes in the pic are totally sweet too.

+1 on the wrap pipes for old school look. there's a poster here that looks like he sanded his paint job. it gives it a worn and faded look. pretty old school to me.

Those pipes are Bada$$ - emphasis on the $$$! I would not call them old school - if anything they are New School.
