Default 2012 Nightster mods
Hi all

New to this forum, got a nightster 2012 with white walls, short shot pipes, heavy breather, having a coil and ignition re locator and a 2" tank lift, now need some ideas for what bars to put on don't want to make a mistake( not keen on ape hangers) any pics would be great, also any other ideas on mods would be helpful to.

Cheers all

Also couldn't load a pic for some some reason sorry.

There are hundreds of options for bars. Personally I like drag bars but they're not for everyone. Z-bars are pretty cool looking, too.
