Im glad you are OK. I had a Triumph chopper years ago, and I love my sporty now with suspension. Its a performance bike. The guy I got my sporty is a pilot that had Sportsters since the 60's. He gave me some good advice, he told me to leave her stock the first year and really learn to ride. I already knew how to ride but I really took his advice.. I think its important to ride the bike as it was engineered from designers, they are pretty good, sometimes when you modify you loose performance

Seriously, that seat is gorgeous. Best springer seat ive seen on a Nightster.

You have done a great work in your nightster!! Especially how you have installed the saddle with wharves, brilliantly(genially)!!!!

You know what, that actually looks amazing. Okay, it sort've resembles the cross bone a little, specially if you're going to add ape hangers, however, HD should look into having this type of style in the sportster category. Good stuff.

That seat and springs does look really good. Ive been wondering about the ECU relocation on the rear fender too. Where does it go?
@PauloMatias5 жыл бұрын
To do the spring seat did you have to re-locate the engine management unit? I have a 2007 nighster and I wonder if they are different than the 2008. I know one has the ECU under the rear fender.

HI, i have a XL 883 2008 and i'm trying to do a bobber. I would like to know where you installed the ECU central. Did you take it off from the rear fender and install under the spring seat? Congratulations, your bike is fantastic.

the shocks ride much better than struts. but a spring seat makes the ride with struts bearable. got the seat from lickscycles.

I heard if you do the rigid frame conversion (replacing the rear shocks with metal bars) you have to go to a chain drive. Is that true?
@maverick12915 жыл бұрын
It has rigid struts so there is no movement. Looks cool but uncomfortable for long rides. His sprung seat will add some softness though.

As my main mode of transportation I need to ride my nightster through all kinds of weather. In rain, dirt gets kicked up on the back of the bike with a full fender. How is it for you with a chopped one? Also, before this nightster I had someone total my previous 883 sportster, so I feel ya on that aspect. Beautiful bike you have there, I'll post a video of mine shortly. What kinds performance differences did you notice with the hypercharger?
