hey everyone im pretty far along with my nightster but hit a road block with the rear fender. its chopped whicked short but not sure about mounting. also im thinking about some other things. everyone and anyone with a nightster with real custom work done NO BOLT ONS! post some pics please and thank you!!!

 

You chop the struts? Ive seen some badass ones where they drilled new mount holes, but this usually involves HT'ing or swapping shocks for struts due to clearance. Your pics?

 

My 2008. Chain isnt on in this pic, I was milling out the new offset front sprocket for it at the time.

 

Here are a couple, although I would simply call them Sportsters now. Not much "Nightster" left on them.

So, let's see yours.

 

heres the only pic i can upload right now. its from last weekend.

 

Not trying to sound like a jerk but what do you have that's not bolt on?...or are you just getting some motivation to take it to the next level...

 

For us that are skilless.............I see nothing wrong with bolt on

 

Neither do I. I apologize for sounding like a jerk. Blue Collar Bobbers is a killer one stop shop for bolt on cool.

 

Oh I know dude...........Ive never heard you badmouth anyones bike or skills.

 

i have the intake and exhaust for now thats bolt on. i made a set of stainless zbars, mounting bracket for ignition coil and push button start, chopped struts and fenders, made the seat pan cover and ecm mount. currently fabbing up a set of stainless pipes, front pulley cover and a set of solid struts. i dont mean to knock the bolt on life but when people bolt on skull mirrors, gas caps, covers and more chrome from the h-d dealership it pretty much doesnt make it any easier to find it in the parking lot. i want to do some serious work, like frame work and new hardparts. i want to see what other mods people have done themselves or things people made to make their bike different then the rest.
