Growing out of it!!!

Nightster,
Couple things. First, I was in the Army for 4 years so I know that a lot of people don't appreciate the sacrfiices you make serving our country in the military. Thank you for your service. It's greatly appreciated even if sometimes you don't feel like people really care or understand. You have my upmost respect.
Second, if you're thinking about having the lady ride with you often you're definitely gonna want to do something with the shocks. Compare the ride with stock shocks to being in an M113. You're gonna feel the road. You can go with some progressive shocks that will give you a little more suspension travel so your lady friend doesn't end up in your lap the first time you bottom out. Take a look at some of the Nightsters in Europe to see what the added ride heighth would look like to see if you like that. There's also ways to get more travel without raising it up much if you want to do a little more work.
The pipes are Vance and Hines Short Shots. Take a look around on the internet for a good deal. They're pretty easy to find, but the black short shots are a bit more expensive than other pipes I've seen.

Thanks everyone for all the good wishes and kind words. Hopefully some of us are not to far apart and can meet in the future. You never know!!!!

Get the bike that you really want or else later on you will regret it. The only thing I want to recommend is that you should look into a used Nightster or any other bike you are thinking of purchasing. There are many deals out there on used bikes especially right now with this economy. Craigslist has them all the time, with a bunch of accesories added on already and you will probably save a couple grand.
