Needing some inspiration
I recently purchased my first bike. 2009 Nightster with Chisel-grind "custom" paint. I say "custom" because I've seen a little backlash (not to me personally) about factory custom paint. I didn't like it in the catalogs or online until I saw one in person and fell in love with it. Right now I only have V&H shortshots, like almost every other Nightster owner lol. I've also swapped the stock mids controls for forwards. You can get a fairly good idea from my sig pic and there's a couple on my profile (will try to have more pics up soon, it's raining in OK right now and don't want to get her out of the garage!) I have been considering whitewalls and I'm back and forth on red spoke wheels about a hundred times every day. Future plans include a SE heavy breather in black and either drag bars or mini apes. I've just hit a customizing writer's block. Lend me you ideas. No idea is a bad one!!

I like the custom paint on the Nightster it looks good I have an 08 Nightster black and orange I put drag bars on mine and ran the wires thru them also relocated the the speedo I moved the front signals down on the fork and got some smoked lenses all the way around those are a few of the mods that I did .

Put some drag bars on that ride! Seriously... you'll hate yourself if you don't. Just picture yourself leaning over the tank, goosing the throttle, showin some crack in the back.
