Default Nightster to bobber/board tracker/Cafe Racer I Don't Know!

OK look...I started going in too many directions. I really don't know what I have anymore. Many of you have seen all the update pics, so you know it's gone through some pretty cool phases.
Well I'm stressed the hell out over this bike! It could use some touchups, and there is another seat bracket in production as well as a speedo relocation that is not yet installed in these pics.

Some of you will hate the tins, others care less for the hypercharger, many don't like the solid struts, some prefer ape hangers.. etc etc blah.

The bike is different, and has a little something for everyone. By the way once again you guys are great! and I love all your bikes out there that's why i'm here and i'm sharing

By the way the bike just finally left the shop today so I got to get a taste of what the seat really felt like on the 50 mile trip home, and it was freakin awsome! The shock worked incredible, and the little bit of seat height actually feels a bit more comforatble because the sitting position feel natural. I weigh 188 lbs. and my butt felt great at the end of the trip. I also removed the baffles and this thing just sounds sick! had a few compliments on the way home, but several angry faces by people rolling up there windows at intersections. lol.. Ok that's all.

It was worth the wait- oh man, you are my hero. Other than putting the baffles back in the pipes, I wouldn't change a thing... it looks fantastic!

By far the best Nightster project I've seen. I love the space under the seat. The barely there rear fender. Great work.

Well, you sure have a bike you've made your own! Congrats on all the hard work paying off!

I just wish the pipes were even shorter so you could see this tight waist like this picture... (I wouldn't have messed with it if your bike wasn't fun to look at)

Looks awesome. I love the green and black.

Where did you get that breather from? Not the filter but how did you get it to point straight up like that.
