What's up? FNG here. Just got my first HD about month ago and wanted to share with any others that might be interested. I've been riding on and off for a long time but this is my first bike. Anyone thinking about getting one or just taking the first step by getting your riding license I highly recommend the Rider's Safety Course. Awesome group of instructors and really helpful with learning the basics that you think you know but really don't.

Now to the important part.

12' Nightster

Updates so far- Biltwell Frisco bars, 2" tank lift (best mod so far), ignition/coil relocation. Oh yeah peeled off those hideous fork reflectors.

Additions on the way- Joker Machine front/rear LEDs (going on later today. Samson Hellraisers (black).

This is by far the best purchase I've ever made. I wake up everyday wanting to ride. Wish I bought one about 20 years ago.

Any one looking to go for a ride hit me up. Cook's is a easy meet up spot for me.

Congrats on your bike... Looking good!

I like your Frisco's... I almost went for those, but, wound up putting the 14" Nash grit hangers on instead..... Just ordered my tank lift/ reloc too.....

They are fun for sure!!

Ride safe

I really like that paint scheme and I haven't seen a lot of them around. I totally agree about riding. I wonder why I didn't buy a harley a long time ago! We have some catching up to do now!
