Default Hello! NOOB here and my new bike.
Hey everyone! Just wanted to post up and say hello. I'm new to the Harley community and brand spanken new to this forum...just bought my Nightster and couldn't be happier. Prior to this I rode sport bikes, R1, Ducati 1098 and a Triumph Speed Triple. Comparing all of those bikes to this one, I choose HD all day.

Heres a pic of the new beauty.



Future plans include:

Springer Solo Seat
Bobbed Rear Fender (Relocated Brake and Turn)
V&H Short Shots
Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather
Mini-Apes
White Walls
Powder Coated Rims (red)

Ill be asking a lot of questions about servicing these bad boys from time to time but I just wanted to say HELLO!

I like what you have done with the exhaust. The black with the wrap looks great.

Is that the Screaming' Eagle Exhaust Wraps (in Midnight Grey), and did you use any type of silicone spray 'sealer' on them? The bulge on the rear pipe, is that from a mounting bracket?

Thanks!
