Default Nightster Work in Progress

Hey all,
Just wanted to post these pictures of my 08 Nightster. Its my first Harley and i am loving it. Now that winter has settled in over northern colorado i have been doing some work and making the bike my own. A good buddy of mine made some custom brackets for the tank lift, i did the dk customs coil relocate, and i have hidden my wires under the tank. I also did the Harley Davidson drag bars, and flipped the mirrors. More pictures to come

I've got to agree with streetfighter. Lifting the rear is unnecessary and doesn't look as good IMO

Mine after tank lift and coil and ignition relocation


What drags did you put on you bike?

I didnt like they way it looked at first, but i like it, my fab guy and i are going to make some custom plates to cover the gap on the rear, give it some time streetfighter, i will post photos when we get to making the covers. I appreciate the input, i just have an idea in my head with where i want to take the build.
Pervy- i did the Harley Davidson 32" drags with 4" pullback part number was 55800035

X2 man! Bike looks great, but that tank rear needs to come back down.

so after looking at the bike for a while last night removed the back of the lift and dropped it back to the stock position. It does look better. And now I won't have to fab covers to hide the gap. After I get back from alabama I'm planning to make custom exhaust. Pics to follow. Thanks for the input

the only possible reason i would have the back end lifted is so that I get to use all the gas i could out of the tank. but I'd rather just raise the front and re-locate the fuel line further back.

but i don't care that I make my buddies stop for fuel every 100 miles
