Wow, that bike and a pair of black V&H Sideshots were made for each other. I still like the "dry lake look" of the drilled belt guard on the Nightster, though. Dug the video!

Not bad. Blacked out isn't my thing, but, I like it for what it is.

wow, hmmm. I think I like the nightster more. I'm see a big diffrence as a whole but can't really tell. I think it's the fuel tank that makes a great difference between both bikes..I just like the more "narrow" look of the nightster's. but the 883 also looks nice. I'd love to get one and customize it hehe xd.

wow, I'm exited about this iron. I wonder if that's weird. Because I love the idea of it being an 883 lol. arrrrghhh!!! The video made me really want to get it! I hope to start seeing tons of new posts about the iron. Hope they are good :P

Would that be a Nooner or a Noonster?
