I just purchased a night rod special..Need some help with some mods..Can anyone suggest what is the best exhaust to get? Ive heard many people say to keep the stock one for performance..And what other mods do you night rod special owners suggest..
&nbsp\\;
Thanks for your help..

 

i changed my bars to flat track style sportster bars had to change 3 cables. but it made a big difference in comfort and handling. and of course they are black.


I like cheap mods because barley anything is for the vrod line. so you can black out the upper forks by wrapping them in black vinyl (cost me 10.80$) at a local graphics shop and the 04 and later sportster brake caliper inserts happen to fit in the cam covers on the motor, HD sells a few different designs made for the vrod but the sportster brake calipers work great too.


The sundowner seat is a worthwhile investment if you dont mind getting pushed foward a bit.

You will find yourself fixing and replacing all the parts that were not black in the first place.

for the exhaust it depends what you want, i like the stock exhaust system, i can hear my music, and i kinda like the sound when you get on it. im looking into making the exhaust look better by blacking it out, i wasnt a fan of the silver cans on the all black bike. Like you I have also heard that the stock exhaust makes the most power and thats just another reason why im staying with it.

 

Super trapps in black are a nice mod

 

Vance &amp\\; Hines Outlaw Indy Series (black)

 

I have the Krueger by super trap and they sound great nice pur when you get on it

 

Dump the stock exhaust, if you go to a V&H 2-1, you'll shave a ton of weight off and get really nice mid range power. If you want to keep the exhaust stock, there's decent sound and a bit more performance by de-baffling the stock slip ons.

So if you're looking at a new exhaust, my biggest suggestion for first mods is to get a hi-flow filter and run topless (no cover) while getting a decent tune, emulator or a dyno tune.
