Nightster RSD Vintage Apes

[moparbrent760]

Everyone and their mother has the short shots... But you can't blame them, it sounds so good! I have some V&H slip ons. They are good for now until I find something I really love. Great looking bars too btw.

[richardarichter123]

that's hot

[Jason1424Mr]

Are those bars 12 or 16 they sure look cool on your bike...........

[WHIZZER86]

For everyone viewing this vid, there is a more up to date one from last summer if you search my other uploads!

[cobaltn]

how did you get it to idle so slow? it's almost like a carb'd bike. re-map?

[WHIZZER86]

@cobaltn With adding the fuel pack which I fitted with the exhausts?, maybe it does sound a little slower idling, I"m not sure........

[bean699]

did u need new cables or the stock cables long enough?



[WHIZZER86]

@bean699 Read through all the previous asked questions man, all the answers are there for you....

[rijadhus]

Hey Whizz, how tall are you? how's the reach to those bars, comfy to ride? i have a problem with the stock iron bars, killing my back! Btw, cool mod you got there!

[WHIZZER86]

@rijadhus Bars a comfy but I'm just a shorty, 5' 6" :0)

[s5vrf]

Awesome ride man! Did you need to extend the wiring for lights horn etc, or were they long enough? Pls reply thanx bro!!!

[WHIZZER86]

@s5vrf As far as I recall wiring was all OK had to replace clutch & brake cable. Throttle was OK too, was a bitch to feed wires through the bars though

[Rotax701]

Whizz, can you tell me more about your blinker brackets. Thought I read you got them from drag specialties, is this correct? Do you remember which ones? thx Rotax

[WHIZZER86]

@Rotax701 PM'd you man!

[TodTheAhole]

Hey sportster haters its not our fault you need the extra ccs to haul your fat barrel asses around.. You haters talk shit about sportsters meanwhile one of the big reasons you buy a harley is for its American heritage. The sportster has the longest living heritage of any Harley on the market! Was Evil Kanevil a pussy?? All he ever rode was sportsters. Plus that 1200 will burn those big twins in acceleration and handling any day of any week.

[dumapies]

@TodTheAhole

yeah i hear ya, plus i think the sportster does a good job hauling my fat barrel ass around

[Rotax701]

Whizz, Can you tell me if all the wiring is inside the bars for the starter, blinkers, horn, etc.. does it all come out the bottom of the bar? I can't see any wires in the video. Was this hard to do? Awsome look, gonna get the same bars. Thx for all the info an close ups.

[WHIZZER86]

@Rotax701 All the wiring is internal through the bars except for the "Blinkers" & yes there is a hole at the bottom of the bars for them to exit. It was fairly difficult for me to do as I had not done this before. Took me around 4-5 hours!

[FSTFAZ]

GAY, you tried to polish a turd....but it is still a sportster

[WHIZZER86]

@FSTFAZ You haven't posted any videos yourself all you do is abuse other people on Youtube saying everyone one is "GAY" you are a sad lonley person, with no job, over weight, bald, no girlfriend & still living with Mummy & Daddy, watching porn in your bedroom! Haha

[batou744]

I would like to know if it's harley black diamond cable for clutch and throttle .

[WHIZZER86]

@batou744 Yes I think they are called Diamond Black cables, I got them from HD dealers, you only need to replace the clutch & brake cables. The stock throttle cable is long enough to reach.

[batou744]

hello I would like to know what you have mounted as the cable to rsd vintage. This is the Black Diamond Harley

[WHIZZER86]

@batou744 Sorry, I do not understand your question?

[Bean6963]

do u have to buy longer cables for those bars or do you use the stock cables?

[WHIZZER86]

@Bean6963 You need new clutch & front brake cables, throttle cable is long enough

[dieggz]

how much to put those bars on

[WHIZZER86]

@dieggz Egh? How much time, how much effort, how much money, how much what?

[tinsleytime]

clean ride, now you just need to fatten up that rear tire a bit

[WHIZZER86]

@tinsleytime I will when the tyre wears a bit, its too new to replace. I have since chopped the backend & added a springer seat, check my other vid of the bike. I need to do another update as I have relocated the speedo etc.

[headfuker]

awesome bike man ! there are a forty eight mirrors? Thanks

[WHIZZER86]

@headfuker Not 48 mirrors, they are the standard Nightser mirrors turned upside down.

[sinvalley84]

need your help! been trying to find these apes for my nightster for awhile now. Can you please let me know the make/model/ and if possible dimensions on those handle bars! Looks sick man. I love my bike! Thanks bud

[WHIZZER86]

@sinvalley84 Hi, the bars are Roland Sands Vintage Apes 12", don't know of any part number. I had to get them shipped over from the US as I live in the UK. Just Google the name of the bars and it will come up with a list of suppliers, you should be able to get them in Canada! Good luck

[WHIZZER86]

@sinvalley84 Roland Sands Design Vintage 12" Apes, just Google Roland Sands they will come up.

[richottosen]

did you have the engine covers painted or powder coated?

[WHIZZER86]

@richottosen powder coated yeah!

[brian1570]

looks great man. you should consider a rear fender chop, and a springer seat.

[brian1570]

@brian1570 nvm i see that you already did my bad =]

[WHIZZER86]

@edjo68 I don't even know what Road6customs are? I guess you removed your comment as you thought better of your mistake. The bars are genuine RSD Vintage Apes.

[edjo68]

@WHIZZER86 Road6Customs make a set of bars that look exaclty like those. Sorry for the misunderstanding. nice bike though.

[07iggspirit]

Hey man nice bike, i have an 09 silver,black how do those shocks ride? and did u have to lower the front also?

[WHIZZER86]

@07iggspirit The shocks ride really well, didn't lower the front.

[BOBarkerR6V2]

How did you relocate the front turn signals? They look dope there, did you use a kit?

[WHIZZER86]

@BOBarkerR6V2 The relocation brakets I used were from Drag Specialities.

[ericlebron]

When you switched to the apes, did you use the stock risers??? 

[WHIZZER86]

@ericlebron Stock Risers

[mygodISclapton]

How did u relocate the front signals? they look great

[tootsnpurple]

wicked cool look, is that a fold in number plate? very handy,lol

[vzhdnightster08]

nice bike man, i just got the vintage apes but my only concern is that they are not narled as much as my hd bars where they clamp on, any problems?

[junior6783]

awsome bike dude.

What color is ur primary cover?

[WHIZZER86]

@junior6783 No problem just make sure they are tightend up tight

[siccinc]

how high are those apes and whats the length to be legal "generally"

[siccinc]

those 12 in apes?

[WHIZZER86]

@siccinc 12" Apes they are legal both in UK & US

[norskyver]

Nice bike. Why are the break lights yellow and seem to be flashing? I live in the US and always wondered this.

[WHIZZER86]

The rear lights are LEDs..they combine all 3 light functions in 1...indicators which have to be orange by UK law, red stop lights & read tail lights for night time. They are a sealed unit so you can't change the lenses which is crap caus' I would like to have smoked lenses like I have on the front...

[norskyver]

Go on Ebay and search "TAIL LIGHT TINT SPRAY". It's about $20 and sprays like paint. You could mask off the housing and spray 2 coats on the lenses. I did my truck and bike that way.

[sidi788]

thanks man :)

[sidi788]

hello i was readin ur info and i see you thinkin of doin a tank lift... so am i'm on my nightster and i was wondering as your in the UK aswell, if you could share the contact for the tank lift package, only one i can find is in the USA from Licks

[WHIZZER86]

Since making this vid I have done the tank lift, coil & ignition relocation...you don't need a tank lift kit, just make yourself a couple of brakets 2" long for each side of the tank...drill a couple of holes in each end & fit them. Just tuck all the wiring between the tank & the backbone of the frame...very easy to do!

[sidi788]

so you dismantled the plastic wire cover and just tucked everythin under the tank and back bone?.... thanks again man :)

[p71donnie]

thats where i got mine, however its not installed on my videos. i looks really nice tho

[Larrums]

bobe76.

You're an idiot!

[5Lbennett]

ha you have the exact same primary cover as me and black engine cases wow lol similar tastes here check out my vid lol! just get smoked turn signals now!

[Larrums]

Yep that was the same way I had to move my head to see out of them. They do look dope like that though. You planning on doing any other mods to your Nighty?

[Larrums]

I've got almost the same set up, How the hell do you see out of the mirror like that. I set mine up that way the other day and I couldn't see shit....The ones that make the wack comments only wish they had a bike that sick. PEACE!

[WHIZZER86]

Haha! Yeah.....I know what you mean, I have to drop my head & lift my right elbow up. It's not the best idea...but it looks fuckin' cool.....lol

[bobe76]

gay

[WHIZZER86]

Jockstrap....
