'94 is my personal favorite.....though I'll take almost any of them......except that hideous boat tail contraption. What were they thinking?

Personal Opinion, the styling changes introduced with the 1200N Nightster should have earned it a spot on the list. They got me back on the Harley boat.

I like that boat tail contraption. I had a 1971 Super glide with the boat tail. I wish I had it back.

They say there's a buyer for everything.

I am happy with it, takes the hit off of your chest without buffeting. I often to wear a full face, sometimes an open face. Still get bugs to the head but clean air.

Yes agree on this. I still do not understand for Harley stopping the Nightster it is still one of the best looking Sportsters they ever made (especially in the Silver color). The 48 is a bit of a different design.
Its a pity yet again I just concluded on a 2013 Sportster Custom last week.
