Default Ironhead "Nightster" ??????

Been runnin' round, lookin' for a 'project' for this winter.
Momma NEEDS a 'new' ride (She's on an 05 GZ250 Zuke)
I LOVE the looks of the Nightster (Bobber look)
Came up with this 'brainstorm', build a "Whitester" out of an ironhead.
I say "whitester", cuz I want to end up with a white base, red and blue trim/pinstripe/stripes, what ever. But I like the basic principle of the Nightster.
Looking for ideas, input, suggestions, comments or what have you.
If you think it's toopid, say so.
My fav is the black/orange Nightster, but heading for red, white, n blue with chrome, vs blacked out.
Whadda ya think?
Thanx.

If you happen to be a Photochopper, have at it.

Sounds like a great idea. I can't wait for updates and pictures when you start working on it.

No ideas to offer though.

you mean something like this? I always thought a white nightster would look pretty neat!

my nightster nets so much attention that its kinda annoying. every time, the first question is "what year is that?". next question is always "no kidding?"

an ironhead would be legit for a lot of people. go for it.

Get a 74, swap the tins (minus the rear fender unless you can figure it out) and slap a jockey shift on that ****. I'd rock it. In fact, I had something similar in mind for the next project.....

If you've got your hands on an Ironhead, this isn't too hard to do:
