You can haul a$$ on a Nightster. Then become friends with someone that rides a bagger and use he/she as a pack mule.

I agree that's a big dis-advantage to the Nightster. It has such a cool, stripped down barebones look, I can't imagine any type of bags looking very good. But then, I haven't seen one with a rack or a bag. I don't usually ride with any kind of bag. I just get clothes with lots of pockets, unless I'm going more than 50 miles out of town.

I just got my Nightie this week & have been struggling with how to take a few things with me... am I overlooking a small place to stash my registration & insurance card??? All my past bikes- European & Japanese, had some sort of little area, even if a teeny compartment in the seat pan. What do you do?

I like the idea of a magnet tank bag on the fender for stuff on a road trip... do you have a pic to the one you have? I have the matte silver on the fender- any worries of scratching it?

Thanks,

Beth
