I just bought a 883 iron denium black, what do you use to deep clean the paint. I have a quick spray clean from HD but it doesn't really do a deep clean. Thanks for any info. First timer here.
@hpdrlr The chip i have on my shoulder is earned.Here's why. From first bikes until about 1980 bikes were judged on performance, speed, cost, handling, reliability. Then we hit this incredible wall of ignorance. The great bike collected cobwebs in the showroom. The fools coming in the door wanted bikes that looked like 1940 Harleys
and performed like them. It's as if everybody said, i don't want that Shelby Cobra, give me that 1918 Whippet. And i'm the one whose nut?
I am curious, how many miles to the gallon do you get on that nightster before you fill it up with gas ?? I know that my little "rice burner" 2005 Honda Rebel can get up to 175 miles before I have to fill it up. I plan on trading in the Rebel for a 1200 Nightster. I have ridden a Suzuki LS-650 before, but I am curious to know what that nightster will do on miles per gallon on the city, and on the highway.
@renegadebiker24 my fjr 1300 will go 273-276 miles before bone dry. The Harley's get good milage but the tanks are smaller. Instead of a Harley why not buy a modern bike example - Susuki 1250 FA- Kawasaki x1400
Yamaha fjr1300 Honda ST. John Ryan road from Prudoe Bay Akaska to Key west florida in four days 8 hrs. His
Fjr had 140,000 miles on it before he left alaska. I like to see somebody try that on a nightster
Couldn't agree w/ you more... i.e. a/b the seat....it would definitely take away from the classic look.....great lookin' bike man....can't wait to get mine! thanks for the vid...!
Don't buy a new one, get one from some poor bastard who put the short shots, or side shots on it, had it mapped, or a fuel pack put on it, and now can't afford it. You can find them for 7-10 grand without the Dealership " Sand in the KY Jelly "treatment.
@floatpool is right! I bought a second hand 2008 Nightster with short shots (V&H), fwd controls, passenger pegs, stage 1, etc... with only 2000 miles on the clock and saved a fortune compared to if I had bought the bike new and added the above. The bike is excellent value for money and any further modifications won't hit my wallet too hard. Highly recommend this bike to anybody who wants a daily user with looks to match. Although, for taller riders I suggest the fwd pegs and a mustang seat.
hey is that jaguares u are listening to? "afuera" anyways man... so im thinking about getting this same bike and i really like what uve done with urs... gave me that extra push to actually go for it. how much u pay for yours?
I love mine. i have the black and grey color scheme. I just put black Vance & Hines Side shots, for controls, big breather, drag bar, and fuel commander. I paid about 12000 for mine. Put about 1500 in extras so far. Totally worth it. I would recomend a Nightster to anyone... who is under 5'10 lol I'm 5'8 so it fits me perfect.
NIce bike bro. I am waiting to be able to buy one of these beasts!! Plus, I love the way you described the bike from 3:54 to 4:00.. "That biiigg aaasssss chrome looking bike". Rewinded that part a few times, and made me laugh every time! Enjoy the bike bro!!
yea with the baffles it sucks, got to love the loudness of it, makes it know your rideing a harley, thank goodness for the rubber mounts thought them oler wants will vibrate you off the bike
It's been an excellent daily driver although lately it's only been seeing daylight on weekends and everyother day. On the newest video posted the baffles are ripped out. and the bike is obnoxiously loud...I like it..I'm the butt hole you hear comming from half a mile away. It's great because you always know when i'm around.
Harley Davidson - Most immitated for over 100 years.
I have a nightster that I ride alittle over 40 miles a day everyday to work and all around, rain or shine, it does fine. I've had it alittle over a year and I don't have any leaks or anything, like alot of people say about harleys. And I ride it pretty hard, jumping curbs and stuff, everything is still solid. It's always good to check out major bolts and stuff, but that's not a big deal at all.
i love the nightster. ive been waiting for years for a bike like this to come out. im like you, i hate chrome, and i dont care for the big bikes with saddle bags.
i just like bare bones riding and thats what it is.
Thnx dude. If you like bobbers than check out the bike now. I have a new vid. I got like a mini series now I guess. Stay tuned......Posted vid in this video response make it easier
I'm at this time attempting to redefine the look of the Nightster. It looks somewhere related to a Flat tracker, board tracker, bobberish type of neat little thing. Check updated videos.
Beautiful, sort of looks alot like my Hugger in a way, except mine is decked out with custom chrome. I have a 2001 Sportster Hugger and the similarities are amazing. That is one fine looking and sounding bike you have there.
Thank you sir! Check the bike now and tell me what you think with the updated videos. Next week a new spring style seat pan and a fender that hugs the tire is getting installed.
I have not had that issue. I have heard of others through the forums on the rare occasion, but if it is what I think it is than by releasing the clutch almost all the way out, you will get thoes gears to pop in place. When mine feels stuck thats what I do. pull in the clutch and than release only 3/4 of the way. The gears will just pop in place.
As much as I like the whole blacked out theme I wonder why H-D feels like they need to put any chrome whatsoever on these bikes. I would love to see one that is flat denim black paint and black everything else all over.
I know I'm really late on this, and sorry. Now H-D recommends to just use a regular degreaser like plain dish soap. as long as it's no wax base car soap. I found out the hard way. and several regular washes later I finally got the paint back to it's dull look. by the way the bike is also updated.
thats a nice bike. I have an 2008 Nightster with RUSH pipes and sounds really good. Check out my video of my nightster. Also, the first service MOST of the things you can do yoursled, like the oil change, primary oil and tranny oil. You dont need to spend 400 at the HD stealership. ENJOY!
Man..I went into this dealership not even thinking about all the additional cost like gap inssurance, service plans to protect the manufaturer warranty, docking fees, crazy taxes, and some other stuff. Total cost was just under $15,000. I paid $800 for this deal to get the bike serviced at the 1k,3k,6k, and 10k
Very nice. I am on the fence between this and the 48.
