@aricpayne134 it was a bit hard to see, so i just kept it rotated to where i could see from about 60 or 70 or so and above but no, i really never payed much attention to it normally stayed on about 80 or so regardless of the speed limit whether i looked at it or not so why look lol
i used to ride dirtbikes alot, i beat on them pretty hard i guess my buddy that i sold the bike to cut the bars apart and rewelded everything, installed gussets in the corners and put them back on
Nice bike, I think it's ballzy to take a Nightster and chop it up, but hell you made it unique and you won't have trouble finding it in the parking lot full of factory bikes. I like the bike..but drop that British accent
@floatpool how do i sound british ? have you ever heard a british accent wow how could you possibly mistake a hillbilly for britsh........ so where are you from eastern ky hills here
hello, nice job! I intend to place it on my sportster handlebar, it is necessary to change cables? know what would be, where can I purchase them online.
Yeah I used the factory one. It's not to hard to move, you just need to take the wiring harness out of the loom and take the tape office it so you can pull the wires back to where they need to be
couple more questions...where can i get a spring seat like that, and did you have to relocate the computer under the seat or were you able to keep it under there?
I love your bike. My husband has the same bike. Could you make me a sissy bar and brace for the fender? i'm interested in the seats too. Let me know thanks
Hey, so how much for the sissy bar? My 08 is set up pretty much like yours..How high is it above the fender and were are you mounting it off the swing arm? Looks super nice man!
the seat works great, although i'm no longer using the one you see here, this is one that i bought and it was worthless. the new one was custom made for me with extra foam and a gel pad. the new one works pretty good. i can have some of these seats made up if anyone needs one should be about 100$ shipped
how is the weight supported on that rear fender? and would you be able to make the rear back rest along with that gel seat? it looks simple and vintage. i love your bike man! and thanks for the response, im subscribing to your videos to see what your up to next.
yeah, i have made a few of these sissy bars, its no problem. i have another guy make the seats for me though...... dude is good with needle and thread..... the back fender is supported by a brace that i make out of 1/8 inch flat bar, i heat, strain, and grunt it to the same shape as the fender, i've rode my girl on mine several thousand miles and i havn't had a minutes trouble out of it.
I am after a saet that sits low over the back guard like you have acheived. The seat looks great. Is it leather? What sort of springs? I'm in Australia, but I would like the seat to be posted to an address in USA. Is this possible please? Nice Ride.
-is your rear fender lowered onto the wheel more, or just chopper?
-how the hell did you do the springer seat mod, with all that crap under the stock seat? Is there a kit you buy or do I just go to a buddies shop and start chopping and stuff?
i got mine from the little pars store down the road from my house not really sure where you could get one. you should be able to just google headlight extension bracket or something and find one though
yeah, we actually ride 2 up lol actually me and my girl rode it 700 miles weekend before last. we started at pikeville ky, went to bristol tn./pigeon forge/ gatlinburg/ and then followed the southern border of the cherokee nat. forest (this road turns into gravel, forewarned) into north carolina and back in 2 days
Hi, I love you bike, and I thought the idea of the speedo mounted on the air cleaner was very neat! why did you remove it? too much shaking? I want to do the same thing on my nightster, but I am not sure how will it hold the vibration, please let me know !!
yeah it was hard to get the speedo to stay still on the air cleaner. the main reason i moved it was to make it a little less visible though. but it seemed to take the engine vibration pretty well though
i made the sissy bar out of some 1/2 inch round stock. that is the factory fender, i chopped it off on the front side to lose the ecm hole, shaved the mounting tabs and a small hole or 2. thanks for the compliment!
-How big a pain in the ass was the rear fender chop job? (I'm assuming you HAVE to go springer seat if you chop the fender?)
-What color did you paint the bike?
I want to paint mine that color, but I don't know if it's flat black, satin black, matte black, or what. I don't want it to end up looking chalky, or too glossy. Yours looks about perfect.
mine is not, it is mounted to the fender. you can get seats almost identical to this that have suction cups on them though. i think they are about 100$
Do you like the speedo where it is at? Can you see it or do you really use it anyways?
