Default Nightster to Cafe'ster...Pics

So a couple months ago, when Nightpunch posted his pics, they really pushed me over the edge in terms of starting my cafe project. Loved the way his bike looked so it really convinced me, after teetering with the idea for over a year now.

It's been a couple months since I've done these mods, and haven't had a chance to post yet. Still have a few more things to do to it.

Here's what I changed/added:

1. RSD Clip-ons
2. Bored out the clip-ons for internal wiring and to add bar-end mirrors
3. Todd's Cycle's Shooter bar-end mirrors
4. Bored out my PM grips to get the bar ends on
5. New Magnum Shielding cables
6. 18x4.25 Rear wheel
7. Powder coated front/rear spokes Candy Black
8. 160/60/18 & 100/90/19 Metzelers
9. Powder coated my pulley gloss black
10. Black HD floating rotors front and rear
11. Moved back to mid-controls

Coming:
1. Piggyback Shocks
2. Chopped rear fender
3. Cafe style seat
4. Maybe some rearsets

oh hell yeah papa! man she looks sexy dude! i would love to hear that pipe, any clips of that? bars look awesome internally wired and that rear wheel is dope!!!!! great job so far. rearsets, rearsets rearsets!!!!!! they would look really cool on the bike and give you the prefect foot position for leaning into those bars and the turns. how much you chopping off the fender? i really have to get an old bike and cafe it out, i want one bad but i think my wife would divorce me i f i tried to squeeze another bike in my basement!

can't wait to see this done papa....
