Question Something Random

I am looking for the most random mod, that maybe you thought was dumb, or maybe just to scared to try. I dont want something expensive, but Im willing to try almost anything. Give me some ideas.

^^^if i was going to make my bike look like some old piece of **** that i just found in the scrap yard i would have never wasted 10k on a nightster to do it, could've achieved that look for far less money. however, if you saw the dude that rides it, it would explain everything.

you could remove those reflectors, that won't cost you anything, lol.

i'm assuming you're keeping our country safe as well so thank you.

Maybe he did build it from scrap, I dont know. I know I didnt spend 10 grand on my bike. Do you know the guy that rides it? Please explain why his looks have anything to do with his bike. Anyways I think it looks cool and the guy above you thing its sick. I personally wouldnt want mine to look like that but then again I dont judge just because I dont want it. I like originality.

I like the idea of it Ill try to find a spare light and try it out. I think there is a minimum distance a headlight has to be from the ground here in Texas not positive on it though.

aw man def. not judging the guy just my personal opinion, i'm entitle to that on this forum as you are. that's why we're here isn't it?

that bike has been floating around the net for quite some time and many o' discussion over it. do some pokin' around you'll see what i mean.

what i meant to say was if you knew the guy's name it would explain everything......

don't know him at all personally. just from around the net. that bike has been posted on more forums and websites that you can shake a stick at. original for sure, no doubtin' that and i like it to an extent, i just wouldn't have done that to a nightster. i'm thinking he didn't intend for it to end up that way but as long as he likes it.

dude it's all good...we family, lol.
