[davezerg]

what paint did u used nice bike

[mdredskin]

wrong bike for clip on bars!! i know cause i own one !!!! try a all day ride with them n you`ll know where i`m comin from!!!!!xr-1200 yes but on the nightster oh hell no!!

[NubsWithGuns]

@mdredskin

Besides looking stupid LOL

[danopd]

I'm planning to put clip-ons on mine as well, but I'll probably also relocate the speedo.

Do those clip-ons make the bike feel much heavier in traffic?

[davidnizzari]

sick bike. Where did you buy the highway pegs from?

[rorro1988]

pardon my ignorance but what is the clipster style? thanks

[jeffmoto72]

@rorro1988 Clip on handlebars, like a sportbike or cafe racer.

[bl00mz]

hey wat kind of handlebarz r those

[mintkendishin]

hey but can you do this to a 2009 883 low

[gotomgo69]

wow >>>>engine idle speed and fuel pressure on a fuel injected bike lol !!!!!!!!my nightster was going 12 20s now have 2 into 1 exhaust and am adding an 883 trans pulley(more reduction) awesome bike and you can control the idle by adjusting the IDLE screw on throttle body,,,,nosdivadyelrah lol

[NKGMAN]

Great looking bike. I will be getting the same model in a few months . What and how are those front hwy pegs mounted. Thanks, and B safe

[hk50cal]

Just to let you all know... the idle is set that high to keep proper oiling to the heads. Low idle equals less oil to the top end. Your welcome... I work at Harley as a mechanic and ride a 67 shovel... trust me I know my facts.

[RockabillyPinstriper]

first nightster with clip-ons i have ever seen. looks cool

[Clayxbmx]

Are those Vortex clips? I am looking at ordering some.

[fog1324]

fucking badass

[norskyver]

How hard was it to remove the upper tree and install the bars? I just ordered a set and they should be here soon. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[vjw0307]

Are those Cycle Shacks that you painted? What kind of paint did you use...?

[mintkendishin]

I luv it

[StregaX007]

Was wondering where you got the hiway pegs. I've been put down some miles and would like some pegs like yours. Kudos by the way sharp looking bike.

[daveyshrike]

Have you thought about rear-sets to complete the caff racer look? Nice bike.

[rkcuscg]

who makes that exhaust

[fher004]

looks like screaming eagles

not sure though

[fighockey4591]

where'd you get your bars and bar end mirrors from?

[GoochRA]

bad......ass.....i've been wondering how clip ons would look on a sporty, awsome

[kbent88]

ive always been a fan of wrapping the headers with that heat bandage, i think it would look sweet on this bike. love it! keep the vids commin!

[sactown900]

This is the best looking HD I have ever seen. GREAT JOB.

[smokey0643]

Neet. Idle is pretty fast though, don't sound right. Maybe just started from cold?

[pianoman1969]

It idles high because it's fuel injected.

[nosdivadyelrah]

No, it idles fast because H-D sets the computer to idle it at around 1,000 RPM. If you get a race tuner or replace the ECU, you can slow it down a bit.

[pianoman1969]

That's right. H-D does set it to idle at around 1000 RPM. The fuel pump must maintain around 35 to 40 psi of fuel pressure to keep it running. In order to do that it has to idle higher. If the engine falls below 900 RPM the pressure will fall, the fuel pump will shut off and the bike won't run. Therefore, it idles higher because it's fuel injected.

[zx2punk]

yea.. not so sure on that one.. the fuel pump runs off the ECM and battery... not the motors RPM two totally diferent systems there bud

[pianoman1969]

Ok, ok. Fine. You're right and I'm wrong. I guess graduating at the top of my class at MMI and being a Harley mechanic for 4 years means nothing. What do I know? The customer is always right even when they don't know jack.

My mistake, it'll never happen again.

I gotta go now, one of our customers tried to set his idle too low to make his bike sound like a shovel head and now he wonders why it won't run. Hmmmmm.

[zx2punk]

yup.. good times.. makes you wonder what people are learning at all these tech schools and see so many shops with bad wraps cause customers have so many problems with repair work ..

[zx2punk]

ever notices when the bike is not running and you turn the ignition on and you hear the fuel pump trun on, and then turn off after a second or two.. thats cause its up to presure... now if you were to disconect the fuel line and squirt fuel everywhere.. the fuel pump will turn back on and continue to squit fuel... how is that possible if the motor is not running ?... of yea... becuause its not being controled my the motor.. its the ecm seeing a pressure drop and turning it back on...

[zx2punk]

and if the fuel pump was spacifically controled by the engine .. then it wouldnt turn on when we hit the ignition... and we all know it does " without the motor running"

[zx2punk]

and that is correct .. the connectors on the fuel line to fuel pump are spring loaded and upon disconection they shut closed giving the illusion there is no fuel pressure.however there still is,, a harleys fuel pump is no diferent then any other fuel pump in its function from a car or a motorcycle no matter the brand. just parts shaped different and in different locations.

[TheMrfrawg]

@pianoman1969 i know its an old comment, but man i totally dig your style. i was gonna interject my pcIII still idles at 1000 with slip ons and k and n. my 07 1200c that is.. it has the computer and other stuff. would i gain a noticeable difference from a heavy breather and remap??? and ive tried the vrod and was not impressed; vmax is twice the bike? your opinion please as a hd wrench turner??? i can get an 03 max right now for 4. id spend that on parts and labor at hd 4 sure.

[pianoman1969]

@TheMrfrawg ask zx2punk, he knows it all. 

[0MindRape0]

Great job man.

But can't help thinking that the speedo needs to be moved. Just doesn't look right to me up on top now the bars are so low.

[Sinmaaran]

Hell of a job i'm so jealous :O

[nissansaregreat]

The bars are just the inverted stock bars.

[nightsterOG]

awesome ride man! Got one too and want some highway pegs like that. where did u find those! nightsterOG

[draymond31]

Hey, I was wondering where you bought those front cruiser mounts and pegs? Thanks, you bike is bad ass! I have a 09.

[boomstickkole]

dude, thats a freakin hot bike

[coreybetters]

bars?

[MilwaukeeLAX]

those are clip on handlebars. welcome to the cafe scene, all you have to do is measure your fork tube dia and go nuts. i think woodcraft makes some nice ones for the sportser frame. btw, highway pegs with clips? err.......

[karolinakracka]

Where did you get those bars? I gotta have a set

[fabiansiete]

what a f$"#% beauty men.

i´m in mexico and soon i´ll buy one of those.

regards

[pianoman1969]

That is slick! I bet it's a blast to ride. I'm jealous.

[pedals8]

Are those stock handlebars or those aftermarket handlebars just wondering?

[jaxwake]

NOTHING is more uncomfortable then my race-ready Ducati. It was hot, rattled, made your arms go numb, my elbows and knees touched when riding -- it was perfect. I have been looking at the sporty for a couple months but was told there is "no way" you could put clip ons on it so thank you for proving it.

[dmc535]

Looks good... I have had clip-ons on my 1200s for about a year now... and to anyone who was wondering.. it a very comfortable riding position. I actually like it better than the stock position. I have my gauges the same way.. i still have the risers and clamp on... I am going to go with a custom style head light that bolts to the lower triple, so I can remove the visor headlight and bolt the gauge bracket where the headlight visor bolted to... It'll look alot cleaner... looks great though..

[curlysoo]

Nice looks almost like an XLCR

Why they don't bring that one back!

[Strongbody10]

That looks a little uncomfortable.

[whiskeywilliams]

where'd you get your highway bars?

[nimagholam]

Bars are sick

[rayray40]

What kind of exhaust do you have on that thing? It sounds amazing.

[w208335]

Looks like stock exhaust, I can tell b/c I have one myself. He painted the pipes black. Maybe with hi-temp exhaust paint? Was considering the idea myself but I think I will just get some black exhaust wraps and wrap it up.

Nice bike BTW shyone.

[rosswid]

sick!

[pepfan25]

what kind or bars are on there. got o8 nightster...want that look for mine

[UZI4YOUANDYOU]

SWEET

[pepfan25]

cool mirrors

[fulton21]

Hey real quick what kind of pipes are those? They sound like Rhinehart but wait Rhinehart doesn't make them in black. DId you paint them what are they?

[abshire8313]

love the bike in clip on bars are awsome im hoping to sell my chrotch rocket and get a nightster

[MarsSentinel]

zomg that is going to be a torture rack to ride.

[EDTYSpotter]

How did you paint your exhaust? It looks very pretty!

I want to buy a black Nightster in Janury... The Problem is the color. The grey of the engine, the chrome of the exhause and the brightness of the black finish dosn`t harmonize. So I want to paint the exhauses or take mor chrome on it!

Btw. very cool Bike!!!!

[bluemule24]

another guy who payed too much for nothing

[DR3AMxCHAS3R]

Sorry not all of us can buy (or want to buy) a road glide, V-rod, Softailor dyna. At least he rides.

[cococardenas]

there is no such thing as "paying to much", maybe you make "too little".

dont go around telling people how to spend there $, I would bitchslap you if I saw you, go mind your own.

[natas1979]

Hey Cococardenas..."Paying to much" and bragging about it is as gay as doing deep knee bends in a ripe cucumber patch. Why dont you go trailer your $45,000 chromed out coontail bagger to the local Starbucks and buy an overpriced shitty cup of coffee.

Oh, kick ass sporty by the way!

[disndat11]

bluemule24

Another guy who wishes he could.

[mickster907]

Pay too much for nothing? No thanks.

[dogchop]

Lovely Mate, Looks like an old cafe racer with those clip-ons, Rear-sets would look ace on it too. Very sweet ride, well done. Check out my channel if you like the old skool shit !!! Cheers.

[JaYwALk1973]

Hey ya, really like what you've done with this bike and thinkin about getting one but just a couple of questions..... 1. How comfortable is the riding position with the clip-ons, 2 Have you got it set up for a pillion and if so how long can they last on the back? Cheers.... and a very nice bike!

[Juampaxp]

nice looking bike there! I got mine in black as well. Ireally like the black pipes.... if you dont mind asking....what did you do to them? did you paint them or change them?  also.... love the highway pegs. I added forward controls to mine.

[chuckandkelley]

Where did you get the clip-ons and morrors??

[txrsd]

Hey what kind of Hwy pegs are those? I need some asap. Sux with just mids. Nice looking bike. I have the same bike but with only slip ons so far.

[mcszot]

It's great machine, you are great GENIUS, if you don't might I will chang mine into this kind precious.

I will be greatful for some advise like where can I buy black pipes and this lovely bars....

Thanks
