I'm 5' 8" and 250. I have a nighster and I mostly ride back and forth to work every day...about 45 miles round trip. I occasionally do 100+ miles on weekends. The bike is fine for me.

One thing to keep in mind to help you decide if you're really set on the Nightster...you'll only go about 90 miles or so anyhow before your gas light comes on.

I'm 6'3" and 250, forward controls was a must for me. Tried sitting on it before moving controls and wasn't comfortable for my knee that I had surgery on.

I was considering a FLHX but at twice maybe more the price ...

I'm also thinking about putting some extra on it.. like forward foot control,
Vince and hines Big radius 2 into1 or maybe Short shorts Staggereg.. With a fuel pack and screaming eagle Air breather... and also a High handle bar like the one on street bob..

that's it guys Would it be a great idea tho make it from a new one or used form a couple years or buy another model like street bob or Idunno

thanks in advance

David

you wont have any problems! i'm 6'0 250lbs, and have put a few hundred miles on my lil bro's nightster, with less discomfort than on my 1200Custom.

he has a mustang solo seat, the black mini-apes(like on the street bob) and the black V&H shortshot staggered, and let me tell you! there is not a better sounding pipe out there!!!

and i'd go new if you can, but thats me, i am a awful mechanic and have even worse luck w/ used anything!

True.. but that would be a perfect time for a riding break..... Most of the times
I rode, after 90-100 miles... Im ready for a break no matter what kinda bike or car Im on or in (if a car,lol)
