sick vid guys. I grew up racing mx, and a bit of fmx.. i don't understand what all the hating on other riders is about, i rode with quad guys occasionally chirping them, but in the end it was all about riding man. I ride a nightster, and will give the biker wave to anybody on two wheels, cause in my mind we are all riders.
@tdgaston89 it's a post 2004 sportster. The front end is the same as any other sporty so it's the same length as any other. Looks like he lowered it in the back, he's def running a 21 inch rim, his headlight mounts from the bottom as opposed to the top like it comes from the factory, and of course he's got the big ass apes. I think all that just makes the front end appear longer to you
@mindthreat44 Thanks mindthreat. I have a 2011 iron with 18 inch apes, I def like the 21' front wheel look but idk about runnin struts on that bad girl. Shes rough enough as it is.
@tdgaston89 you can still get pretty low with some 10 or 11 inch shocks. There are lowering blocks too. Just gotta make sure nothing rubs so your tire aint torn apart.
said without the i and isn't without ' and your critizising my message . Your the typical; Harley dick head. You ride bikes that are an old design. don't handle, are expensive and can never offer an expanation as to why? Showboaters are assholes.
@MrJimmy1437, big talk for someone who has no videos to show, and cannot spell. Even the word "response" is spelled next to where you type, and you still manage to spell it incorrectly each time. Now go ahead, get back to your World of Warcraft , and stop being critical of people posting videos of a their life, that you are obviously sad isnt yours. I dont care what you ride, as long as you dont ride with me.
@TheArmoredPython I wouldn't want to ride with you! you probably ride one of those noisey shit box Harleys and take three hours to make a one hour trip.
Seriously these guys look so badass with these bikes, the nighters with those z bars are just incredible, thats what i am after for next year. Good stuff!
@jantonix They may look baddass but if i raced them through a mountain pass on a good sport bike they would look like just what they are, a bunch of showboaters with nothing to backit up
@MrJimmy1437 Yeah and you never see crotch rocket riders showboating do you? I'll take a comfortable bike with a good sound and AMERICAN MADE over a bike that sounds like a blender whenever I fire it up anyday.
@mattkrembs Yeah laid down, like a boy racer is showboating just as much as setting back feet up by the forks
like you were on a gyno couch is. Sitting with your feet forward, and riding on your tailbone, with that teeth rattling
noise and viberation is not comfort. Where in hell did all the great bikes go? Upright riding postion, flat seat, smooth fast overhead cam for cyclinder motor, blazing speed, light weight, low cost. A 1975 kaw z was abter bike than any Harley made today!
@mattkrembs Yeah laid down, like a boy racer is showboating just as much as setting back feet up by the forks

@MrJimmy1437 Are you seriously saying that someone using their highway pegs is the same thing as someone pulling a wheelie on a sport bike at 60 mph down a residential street while my kid is playing outside? In all my years doing what i do for a living, I have literally scraped sport bike rider's body parts off of the highway when they get their bikes up to (estimated) 130 mph in sandles and shorts. I have never once been to a fatal Harley accident.
@mattkrembs The answer to your question is simple. Those showboating, windbag Harley riders never go fast enough
to hurt themselfs. If they were to go fast down a street, they would not be able to see their reflection in the barroom
window and admire themself's. Did you ever stop and think how stupid most Harley riders look with their do-rags, number twelve boots splayed apart on forward pegs, sitting down low, hands high, pisspot helmet, tatoes, leather vest. Especially someone over fourty?
@MrJimmy1437 Did you ever stop and think about how stupid you look after 2 months you're still loosing an argument on the internet? Especially for someone over forty?
@mindthreat44 Your right, I am loosing the argument. BUT I AM NOT WRONG! People who think an old 1940 design is the hot set up, and pass up modern, smooth bikes are the idiots. They sacrifice great performance, lower cost and buy an expensive, loud, piece of horse pucky, so they can impress some simple minded Bimbo
in a bar and hope they might get laid. That too big a sacrifice for a piece of tail
@mindthreat44 A friend was looking at a used Harley at a good price. He changed his mind when i pointed out the cost of his manditory uniform. Ten tattoes at 50.00, leather vest 160.00, boots with HD logo 135.00, chaps 150.00, do rag 15.00, designer sunglasses 100.00, thirty patches at 5.00, pisspot helmet 3.00. But what really put a stop to his folley was the time required in front of the mirror practicing that arrogant snear most hd riders have!
@MrJimmy1437 That is literally the dumbest thing you could ever say. Never in my life would I be afraid of a 16 year old little boy on a crotch rocket. I'm a 6'4" 295 lb member of the IAFF/PFFW local 257. The shit I've seen in my time doing my job is more than you could ever imagine little boy, so go take your stupid vagina comments back to your crotch rocket videos and find someone else to try them on.
@MrJimmy1437 Yeah and you never see crotch rocket riders showboating do you? I'll take a comfortable bike with a good sound and AMERICAN MADE over a bike that sounds like a blender whenever I fire it up any day.
The first warm day today. Rolled the bike out. Just like all good jap bikes, ran perfect. No wax , no service, just faster then hell. Drove 55 miles on back roads, plain clothes, full coverage helmet, no do-rag, nobody saw me except a couple of woodchucks, saw no quote "cruisers". Didn't make hardley any noise, didn't put on a show, the only one who got impressed was me, with that womderful power and speed
i have a ninja900r and i am trading it for a nighster1200. not because one is better than the other. I am just older and wiser now and i am not a stupid squid anymore. Just want a nice comfortable riding bike :) let people ride to live and live to ride, what ever the choice of bike
So we're suppose to spend our hard earned money on the bikes you like so you can have the bike you want? Once again you make perfect sense with your years of wisdom.
@mindthreat44 Do those two guys in front know how stupid they look? The bike style and their mode of dress.
I'd like to get those two assholes in the mountains, at night, in the rain, on a twisty road, with the temp about 45 degrees. We would see how cool they look then!
@MrJimmy1437 Do you know how stupid you sound? They're not in the mountains, at night, in the rain, on a twisty road, with 45 degree temps. So guess what? Your point is mute.
@mindthreat44 I'm sorry i didn't know that that motorcycles were made for daytime riding in warm weather only!
Gee i wish you had told that to a couple of old friends of mine, because we used to go to Laconia and Redding to the bike races and two of my friend road sportsters and were caught in the rain. low temperatures, and suffered the tortures of the damned before we got home! i had a bike with bags, extra clothing, windscreen, large fuel tank. Piece of cake. Showboating cost's
these are a good series...the vid has a visual quality to it that is from the 70's. they seem like openings to vintage motorcycle movies (if you replace the audio with classic rock etc).
I appreciate the follow up!! Just found a guy on craigs list that custom designs any style you want out of garden grove ca. Designing some 14" z style bars as we speak. Thanks again.
Alright I have to ask...on the xl1200n what bars are those? Running flanders drags but getting sick of em. Everybody uses the RSD apes but I'm diggn those z's what manufacture?? Thanks in advance. xl1200nightsteroc HB CA
How did you measure for cables when putting the Z bars on the Iron? I just got my 10 inch Z bars from licks still waiting on the 4 inch risers. I was planning on adding 10 to 12 inch to the stock lengths but I really like the look you got there.
Sorry for delayed response. Hope your bars are working well for you. I didn't measure. I just had dealer order what they thought would be appropriate.
@mcgonigal0224 Gee if been doing it wrong all these years. I have been riding to enjoy the speed, handling of the bike, taking long trips, enjoying the open road. I didn't know that i was supposed to be putting on a show and trying to achieve a certain look. God forbid if i ended up looking like these two circus clowns!
@MrJimmy1437 First of all I never said you had to put on a certain look. I never said you had to do anything. I never said anything about you. Second, all I said was they weren't in the cold, rain, or any harsh conditions during this vid. Why would they have gear on for the cold and rain when they're riding in what seems to be pretty nice warm weather and what almost looks like a desert? Yeah that makes since. Dress for the cold while riding through the desert. Perfect sense right there.
@MrJimmy1437 And third, I never said motorcycles were made for daytime riding in warm weather only. Look at the video. I'm talking about the context of the video because that's all we can know about these "circus clowns" You wanna argue. Fine, but please stay relevant and on topic. You're making yourself look like a "circus clown"
@mindthreat44 You never said anything about what these bikes are for, but it's obvious that these pieces of horse manure are good for nothing but parking in front of a bar on sat. night,if it's warm out. It just strikes me as odd, that so many young rider want to sacrifice all the great qualities of good bikes for a certain look! Why ride this antiquated old crap, for look ,that i consider goofy.
@MrJimmy1437 We ride these bikes just so we can piss you off :) We'll ride what we want and you can ride what you want. You can get all pissy and criticize us and we'll still be more than happy to except what you ride and share the road with ya.
@mindthreat44 I would not give a shit what you ride if it didn't effect me. If you want to ride those antiques so be it. But what hurts is that there is so many of you that it has driven all the good bikes out of circulation. The local dealer used to have showrooms full of UJMs but not anymore, thanks to this mass nonsence. The susuki gsx 1400 they wouldn't even sell in this country, It was so superior to anything Harley makes as to be laughable.
hey there.. i'm over in the uk and got me a nightster (woohoo) and i wanna do a tank lift and saw u guys talkin about it, and i saw 5mins and u got me hooked how do i do it??.... or is there a setup i need to buy?? if so any details ?? cheers :)
