Hey I'm just wondering? Why would you swap nightster tank and fenders for iron 883 tank and fenders? They are the same aren't they? Only thing different is the pinstripe on the nightster! But I still love the bike though good job!
Nice Nightster man...unlike some of these dickhead haters that probably ride dick and don't even have a bike, I like your bike it looks really nice, I sold my Nightster about 2 yrs ago...
A nice scooter no doubt, but struts look dumb and half ass. Why have a nice bike and not do it correctly is beyond me. That scooter deserves a rigid frame or at least a weld on and mayber a springer up front Imho.
hey man looks great. Question, did you buy that vertical license plate holder or make it that way. I hate how these bikes all come with the horizontal. Also where'd you get the headlight? Just got a forty eight, looking to rip it up..thanks
Done away with the turn signals entirely, huh. Nice bike!
But since you hardtailed it, I suggest you get a custom rear fender that hugs to the tire more closely. As it is now, the bobbed stock fender looks too flat and too wide.

Where did you relocate the ECU control box under the seat thats mounted to the rear fender to? Mine has plastic plate under the seat with the ECU mounted to it. If you take the plastic plate off there is a huge hole in the fender. Sick bike
How do the Z bars feel? I've just got 6in risers with a drag bar on my 1200N. I like the way Z bars look though. I got the black VH side shots on mine. That chopped fender is sick.
I like everything that you have done with your bike man. Looks crazy.......the only thing I would change is the bars with a set of straight drag bars.
also, how did you get that rear fender so close down on the tire??? j have 10" rear struts and it brought it down a bit...but i like it right off the tire like you have.
iron fender chopped on the front side of it reusing existing moutning off the rear of fender? any issues with running struts with chopping your frame?
If you buy a light it should come with the bracket and hardware. If not, just go to Lowes or Home Depot and they have an aisle with thousands of nifty nuts and bolts and metal to fab your own. Also, save yourself time from removing the tree by using an angle drill to make your hole. Hope this helps.
is that a 10" rear strut???? also, how far back did you cut your rear fender?? bike looks sweet. real so cal brotha. im slowly morphing my iron into a bobber. do you ever have any problems with your battery cover being off??? thanks
Yes they are 10" struts, although I may do a weld on Hardtail. I cut the fender up to where the hole was for the ECM. As for the battery no problems because of cover, my terminals were getting loose but used some threadlock and all is good. Good luck with your scoot and thanks!
Autometer part 3209. How does it mount? Just with 2 screws? Has it rattled loose yet? What part of the bike is it mounted to exactly. Killer bike, man!
Hey where did you get the speedo relocation kit? Can you post a link..i keep looking but i cant find one. I love the clean look of it being off of the bars.
sweet bike man that is MEAN! I have a 2008 nightster love the spring seat and chopped fender one question where did you hide your ECM to get it off the fender?
Good luck with your bike, the mods are pretty easy to do. This is my first starter bike as well. I paid way to much because i got all these added parts from dealer just to later take them off... CRAP!
Hey thanks, I have been meaning to post a vid riding... ill get around to it. As for the seat I got it on EBAY but I don't remember the seller. Ill get back to you on that one.
I love this bike! I want one just like it! Can Ask how much you paid for each mod? What was the total cost to custom this from scratch? Can you list the parts? I'm taking my nightster to my local shop and getting chopped...hope you don't mind?
only bike I could finance... besides its not like I messed with the engine or electrical or stuff like that. Why do guys buy cars and put body kits, lower suspensions, bags ect ect?? Something to do to make it yours.
So if you've seen my vid and noticed how low my fender was. well the weather was still cool when I did that. I've been riding a little to hard lately, high speed runs. Anyways my tires started to expand more and I'm now a victim of TIRE RUB. Unfortunately the paint bubbled up and it was as low as yours looks. I tlted the fender a bit to add a bit more height. Don't let it happen to you. I'm getting a new paint job soon.
