Default Pulled the trigger

Bought an 09 Nightster today. Thought about waiting on the 2010s, but got a decent deal with forwards installed, so I am happy. I figured I could always use the trade up program to get a 2010 if Harley put out something that I couldn't live without. I like the new WideGlide, but we'll see. I am planning to enjoy the Nightster for the rest of this summer. Picking up the bike in a few days...already making my mod list!

Thanks man...Sweet looking ride...Sissy bar is badass. I have big plans for the Nightster. Just a matter of time. Looking for exhaust that is a little out of the ordinary. I like the V&H, but I have seen 3 Nightsters in town with the same exhaust, so I am going a different direction. Been searching the site and checking out some ideas. Also thinking some low z-bars to start.
