RE: O.K. nightster owners.
Yes the rear shocks are adjustable, but they come from the factory with the step adjusters on the second to softest setting and they are still rather "firm". I don't think it is that bad, but some others on this forum don't seem to like it. I think the real problem lies in the seat. Once I modified my seat it feels much better, even over the hard bumps.

RE: O.K. nightster owners.
First post here,
I have the olive/black NightRat. Ya I like the NightRat name.
Anyhow I love mine, great looking bike, I have removed all the reflectors
painted theexhast shieldshigh temp satin black including the mufflers,
(Wow what a difference that made) I took those little pegs off that stick down
off the foot pegs,rotated the handlebars back and movedthe levers down, way better.
I get so many positive comments on that bike, I guess great minds think alike,
I would like to learn a little more about mapping the fuel system, I bought some V&H slip ons
and painted them black also, but the V&H fuelpak wont fit on the nightster because of the
low seat, so harley tells me $625 for mapping and dyno, but there on back order until june.
That seems a little steep.
I can't waitto put those pipes on, they look so much better than stock.
I sure love this bike,
Ride on!
