Nice bike. However, I don't like the "primer" finish.

Matte, dull, primer, flat - don't they look the same ? I wonder how you buff out a scratch.

Never mind that how do you get rid of the shiny spots? Actually I have a Street Bob in that "denim" finish and it is a pain in the *** to keep clean looking.However the Nightster also comes in vivid black and looks even better without the two tone paint job.

Saw one last night at our local dealer at the "Ladies Only" night. As a woman, I didn't particularly like the look of it.It was in the denim finish which I love in the black, but didn't care for in this gray. It also sits very low, good for some people, but bad for most of the woman that sat on it. But I'm sure there are many positive things about it that maybe a womanwouldn't appreciate.[]

I don't know this to be a fact but I'll bet it's only shorter because they lopped off half the fender and that gigantic tail light.

Saw one at the dealer yesterday. I liked it, they had one in the back and one still in the crate they were both sold.
From talking with the salesman he said they were allocated 2 and that is all they are getting for the year? They are a major dealer. I guess a limited production bike.
