Default Nightster no more?

I hear tell (from a dealer salesperson) that the Nightster has run its course. True or somebody's lame joke?

I would never trust a salesperson at any dealer.

I don't think they were speaking of the current model in this 10 year old thread...

What's up with your new one?

What's up with your new one?

I have only owned it 8 weeks. Of that 4 have been back in for repairs. The first time I was turning into a busy intersection. It shut off part way through the turn and wouldn't re start. Towed it in. It was a lose battery connection. The second time I parked my bike at home, went to start it up to go out no power at all. Towed it in again. It needed all new wiring. On the way home on the hwy. It went from 130 to 110 with no warning or brake lights.was almost hit by the cars behind because it was so unexpected. The next day it was towed back. Last week I was turning again into the bust intersection. This time in the dark. It cut out again mid turn. Towed it back. Picked it up yesterday. They said a faulty sensor turning left. I am already talking to another dealer about trading it in. No confidence in this bike at all.
