My "throne", the Harley Nightster

Here's the latest mods on my 2008 Harley Sportster (sorry if the bike's dirty, I've been too busy messin with it to clean it up). I'm working on turning this bike into a bobber, chopping off crap and keeping the mods cheap and functional. Performance mods are on the way, when I get tired of my buddy leaving my ass 'cause he got a race tuner, high flow intake and exhaust. Suck my nuts Morris, haha! You'll get yours one day! :

-Removed stupid looking plastic wiring harness, giving the bike a more simple, open look
-Relocated ignition coil via homemade bracket
-Relocated ignition via homemade bracket
-Removed sprocket cover
-Removed both belt guards
-Installed forward controls
-Made brackets to lift tank about 2 inches
-Re-routed some wiring and ran them under the tank, cleaning up the overall look

Hopefully I can get a paint job done some time, I've got some chipping goin on.

If you run your mouth about how Harley's suck or crotch rockets are whatever, I will probably delete your ignorant ass comment. All motorcycles are welcome in my domain, so don't come in here talkin crap just to start stuff.

get a real bike with horse power , loud pipes all bark and bite, like those kids who put big mufflers on their hondas

@KiamDiamond ....why? My bike gets me from 0-60 plenty fast, it does around 12 seconds in the quarter mile which is plenty fast for me, and I put the loud pipes on it because it sounds bad ass. Who are you to think I would want what YOU think is good? There's been PLENTY of riders come up next to me and find out how hard my bike can bite. BUT, I'm not in it for racing, if I was, I woulda bought some soulless speed machine. Not fun for me. Lame actually. My bike is better.

@996artichoke

I was going to respond with a valid argument as to why you have no idea what you're talking about and are just spouting stuff you heard other weekend bikers say, but then I checked your profile to make sure you weren't trolling, and judging by the comments others have posted against you, you're indeed nothing more than a troll. Carry on.

HARLEY PRIDE. CBs are good, Kzs are good, Magna is good. bikes are good.

@IROCKID ALSO, I had to reroute my wiring alittle bit for the turn signals and stuff. My friend had to splice his wires to make them longer, because he got his apes taller than 12". We were able to make mine work without having to make them longer. We just were able to pull the slack by rerouting them. Hope that helps! It's a pain at first but DAMN it's worth it, lol. We worked a straight 10 hrs, all night, on mine lol, fueled by beer and rookie determination haha.

@IROCKID I had to extend all my cables. Clutch, throttle, and brake line. You can tell in the vid what had to happen because the cables are now steel braided looking, rather than stock black. My clutch cable actually ended up being a little TOO long. Best thing is to MEASURE them. I didn't because I bought the "harley" 12 inch mini apes, so Harley already knew what lengths I needed. Best thing is to measure, then go get some from a biker shop the length you need.

@whiskeywilliams What did you end up ACTUALLY having to extend? I'm getting ready to install apes on mine but I'm getting conflicting info from people as to what I actually need to install them...I've heard everything needs to be extended, and also that all you need to get is a longer brake line....thoughts?

[whiskeywilliams]

@IROCKID just the 12 inch Harley mini apes that Harley sells. Coulda got some way cheaper, but got them before I knew there was other options the the HD store lol.
