Ok this thread will be updated throughout the winter for the projects I am going to take on to upgrade my nightster (more than it already is).

Bike: 2008 Nightster Olive green/black denim

The list consists of:
Custom (fabbed by me) 5+ gal tank using a repro tank from J&P
New aftermarket wheels
Taillights relocation
Extended forward controls (milled by me, perks of working in a steel mill)
Headlight relocation
Speedo relocation
Finish blacking out the motor
Complete wire removal and reinstall (for a cleaner than tucked look)

Thats all I can think of right now.

The tank fab is going to be one of the biggest projects. I am wanting to go to a 5-6 gal tank while keeping the lines of the original tank (no 1200C swap for me )

I will start with this: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/721-735 and cut it up and add length and width to it to give me added fuel capacity.

The headlight relocation is already in the process. I will get pics and get them uploaded SOON!

 

Add fuel stabilizer...and...thats it

 

Sounds like a blast !!

 

Nothing here.

 

Saving for my programmer. Already have SE stage 1 intake waiting to go on. Hoping to get SE plugs n wires for Xmas. Then it's time to get the fiancé to install them

 

Ive got the SE plugs and wires on mine and the wires made a hell of a difference. It got a better response and get up. BUT..... I wouldnt waste money on the plugs honestly. Theyre no better than the stockers IMO.

 

Hoping to do a rear fender swap to a bobtail style. We'll see how much $$ is left after Christmas for the 3 kids.

 

Got the headlight mounted with the bracket. Looks better now Just gotta clean up the wiring and Itll be good.



Going to start a whole different animal of a project and run the wiring through the back bone. Wish me luck

 

Nothing planned for the Sportster yet, unless something in this thread persuades me...

 

Im sure by the end youll have caught the bug as well. I know just by searching the forums I did.
