Default Some Before and After

When I bought my Nightster only 2 months ago, I thought, "Self, we should ride this thing stock. I can't believe the money people put into these things."

Before: Straight off the showroom floor.



Now: V&H Big Radius, SE Stage 1 A/C, Stage 1 Download, Removed Fork Reflectors, Le Pera Bare Bones Seat, Inverted Mirrors



Next up: Forward controls, Coil/Ignition relocation, Smoked Lights
Someone could have warned me this was a life changing machine.

Good buy. That color is sweet. I call it metallic mountain dew.

Nice ride

That thing will suck your bank account dry if you are not careful. BTW, that color looks awsome. Don't forget to paint that engine case black.

Nice ride! Great color and I like the tank emblem. You've made some tasty mods.

What's your impression of the LePera seat? It looks a bit lower and a bit further to the rear...what's it like to sit on compared to stock?

Only had one ride on the seat so far, but here is my review:

Style: I love the way that it completes the line of the tank. I mean it just fits and looks perfect.

Comfort: With only 40 miles its hard to say but it is better but not significantly. The stock seat seems to sit a little higher in the back. By that I mean that hump in the back seems higher and i enjoyed that. But the foam on the LePera is much better.

Overall: I don't plan on taking my scoot on a 1000 mile trip, but if i were I would get a more comfort able seat, but for the style and slightly better comfort, LePera does the job. 7/10
