I'd love to get one and customize it hehe xd.
It's the same tank, just different paint job.

hehe, ty. hmmmmmm. I wonder if most other people will like it or not. I didn't even know this bike was out. I'm very happy right now. Besides the price, I'm happy thinking of the insurance. I'm so amazed, like wow! right now lol. But is it my eyes or does it looked a little more "squished in" than the nightster? Hope nobody gets confused. On the video, it looks great! . Now I want to see these bikes, side by side!

Those rims must be iron because according the Harley web site its about 4 lbs heavier then the Nightster.
I've watched that video about 20 times already.

The added four pounds mostlikely comes from having more metal in the jugs.

Oh, and yes, it's just a blacked out 883 Nightster, and I liked the vid.
