2008 Nightster w/ V&H Exhaust, SE Heavy Breather and drag bars!

[headfuker]

An ask. Can you see something in flipped down mirrors? No jokes, im serious. Thanks

[mbkm9]

where did you get the turn signal brackets

[mwegryn]

Why do people run their bikes in a closed garage to show how it sounds? I can't speak for others, but I like to ride mine outside. I's a great looking Nightster, but fire it up outside.

@mwegryn it was snowing where i live

hey did u have a fuel pack on this ?

[Snowmanx711]

what size risers... im about to put my 29" broomstick on and i just wanted a reference to how big the risers should be... Honestly I don't want any risers but people tell me the mirrors will hit the tank... is this true??

[houseman3021]

Just the stock risers...the bars are 27" stock sportster bars that I painted black. The mirrors once they're flipped just have to be adjusted a little so they dont hit the tank. It's close but it works!

[houseman3021]

backseat and backrest come off whenever they're not needed

[sphinxofthenewage]

backseat makes drag bars look silly ..outofplace.

[houseman3021]

I no longer have this bike any more though. I traded up for a VRSC Nightrod Special. I'll post a video soon on that one it's even louder than the sportster!

[houseman3021]

Bars are 27" they're just stock sportster drag bars I picked up used for pretty chead. The exhaust is V&H Straight Shots with no baffles.

[NKGMAN]

WHAT TYPE OF EXHAUST PLEASE. Is it just a V&H straight shot system???? Thanks. Great looking scoot

[tat2drawker]

What's the width and pullback on those bars? I can't decide between 26" or 30" and I wanted to get an in-context view

[Sillanpaa]

nice looking/sounding ride

[BADRAD45]

another super bad bike!!

[houseman3021]

No i didn't pain them I installed the slip-ons first, clamped them and then wrapped. I actually went right over the clamp. All I did was cut a small slit to slide the wrap over the clamp its a little tricky to line it up right but it ended up working. Hope this helps!

[houseman3021]

No the original shields are off completely. The chrome showing on the exhaust are the heat shields that came with my new slip-ons. Just the pipe itself is the only thing wrapped

[houseman3021]

The drag bars are just sitting on the stock risers and you can turn all the way without hitting. It's close but won't hit. I did take the heat shields off when I wrapped them. However I did put the heat shields on over the mufflers only to give it a better look.

nice i plan on getting the drag bars this year.. do they affect your turning at all or hit your tank when they are that low? the set-up i saw has like 3in. risers for the drag bars?

[houseman3021]

I just installed a Power Commander III which was pre-programmed from Fuelmoto

[Tike71]

Did you have to get your ECM calibrated?

[houseman3021]

No not at all...I haven't had a chance to ride a long ways with them yet but I don't see any problems b/c I don't have to reach that far. Thanks for the comments!

fuckin sick bro. also, do the drag bars bother your back after riding for a while? Eager to know. thanks, peace and ride safe
