Default Introducing.....my Nightster!

Guys,

Just a thank you for the help you've all provided whilst i've been doing up my Nightster. She's nearly finished so i wanted to share her with you! Just going to wrap the pipes and put another saddle bag on t'other side!

What do you guys think? Any suggestions for mods?

Nasty. Love it. Very distinct.

And yep wrapped pipes for sure. Doing em black or "bandage theme" military dressing? Would look rather cool and very M.A.S.H. with the latter.

I like the paint. I don't like the bars, bag or seats. Not a bad job. The chrome stock exhaust seems out of place.

The side bag is an old ruck sack without the frame, but I can't tell what the rear bag is. It looks like one of the old style ammo bags but not sure if its that or a medic pouch. Either way you can buy both of them at an Army/Navy store for cheap. Those old rucks make for good hunting bags too lol.

And is the ignition/coil relocate a kit or something self fabricated? I have been looking for one myself.

Disagree homes, the exhaust looks good chrome. Imagine it black, it would KILL the appearance. If he had any other chrome it would kill it as well. But since the exhaust is nice and low, its doing its only thing and its sweet... It all boils down to what you like but I personally think if it was black it would look like every other bike

I like it. If it's comfortable, ride it!

I would change the bars, rear shocks and do a Stage 1. But I'm old and need some comfort, even on my sporty.

Looks kick-***. Nice view over there too.
