Hav you ever thought of raising the gas tank? Giv it more of a bobber look?

[bdorr67]

@tokkmmann - I had but something didn't look quite right with the tank lift. Too faux bobber IMO.

I sold the bike a year ago.

I like it but I think it would be a bit better if you got white walls for the front 2

[bdorr67]

@nimaxx38 When researching bobbers I saw a lot of guys just add the WW to the rear. I liked the look. My tires are getting worn so I'm going to go with WWs on both and see how I like that look.

Hi, I really like the bag on ur bike...Is that a Licks (brand) bag? If so, I've been looking at purchasing, but wasn't sure as to how difficult it would be to install? Do they include all of the instructions & hardware one would need to install on a 2009 Nightster? Thanks.

[bdorr67]

@salsabaila Licks provides everything you'll need. I chose to use zip ties instead. It's easy - check your inbox.

Check out mine 209golightly work in progress. Not sure what to do with my blinkers

[njarvis1977]

How did you do your headlight mount and dummy lights, looks cool

[rensebay]

I see your above comment regarding the licks solo bag. I just bought one and I'm trying to put it on my 09 nightster but it doesn't seem to stay in place (falls forward). I didn't try the zip ties but they don't seem long enough. Suggestions? Thanks!

Man I love your bike.. I got an 09 Nightster and I have a little work in it. But I gotta change it up. I like how your bike is not chopped beyond reconigtion that' it's a Nightster.
