Cool The way my Nightster should have been...

I change a few pieces on my Nightster and now it looks better than the way it was designed, at least in my opinion.

Remember, this is just for my bike as we all have our own opinions.

I have the vivid black Nightster and,

I changed the front headlight bezel from the satin metal finish to a vivid black bezel and it really completes the front end of my bike.

I also changed out the satin metal finish "look"-ing bezel around the oil dip stick and the dip stick for a chrome finish set.

This really compliments the stock exhaust and ties the black and chrome parts together better.

I'll post some pics soon.

Anther part I changed out were the oem spark plug wires, I went with the HD Screaming Eagle wires, yeah I know... they suck...they stink... so on and so on, but they are thicker and give the bike a mean look.

Thanks for reading I will have some pics up soon.

Oh yeah if anyone went to the rally in Galveston, Tx please post some pics.

Man that thing is awesome. Forget sportbikes, I want a bike like that cause the cops will never see me as I fly by. That must be that new invisible stealth paint right?
