I like the way it looks on your motorcycle it fits just right. Maybe for the 2010 Nightster, MoCo should have 2 versions of the nightster one with a peanut tank and the other with the 4.5 gallon tank of course the cost might be more but if you prefer bigger tank then it will cost you a bit more not too much in order to attract customers as well.
