2024 Nightster gets a new front end - Kruesi Vlog

[@morningsalute03]

Going to make these Nightsters blow up in popularity

[@nathanneudecker6516]

For real. This series has me hot and bothered for one and my HD dealer has a couple leftover '23 Nightster Specials...should prob go work out a deal before other people start scoopin 'em.

[@DoRC]

I can understand old-timers being upset about a bike like this but the reality is that time moves on and everything progresses. If Harley didn't make bikes like this they would simply fail. There are just so many guys who want an underpowered heavy air-cooled shaky engine on their bikes and that number is going to get smaller and smaller every year.

[@Timboolin]

Underpowered ? Are you just reciting the basic talking points harley haters say ?

[@DoRC]

@@Timboolin absolutely not. For the displacement normal air-cooled Harley engines are woefully underpowered by modern standards.

[@marathon1972]

I have a Nightster s , love it! I wouldn't complain about m8 power overall, the torque moves those touring machines plenty well enough.

[@ZombieZim713]

@@Timboolin He's not wrong. A significan reason why I went with a Rev Max powered Harley.

[@marathon1972]

@@ZombieZim713 I now have a rev max too, I'm a little worried about the longevity of it , I do like it a lot but it feels like it's pretty high strung. I had a iron 1200, I'm sure that the motor would reach 100 k but the vibrations were just too much for my body, especially wrists. I liked the sound but I like all the features and power of my Nightster special far more.

[@thestuffyouwannasee]

What I find troubling is the prevailing notion that the future will inevitably entail the complete refinement of character out of machines. Many individuals-at least, I hope most do-are perceptive enough to recognize that people are drawn to cars and motorcycles precisely for their rawness, simplicity, and inherent character. There’s a primitive, mechanical quality to these machines that fosters an almost visceral connection, making one feel more alive in the process. This is why many still cherish manual transmissions-not because they are superior or more efficient, but because they offer an engaging, tactile relationship with the machine. It’s a timeless experience, and it is certainly not limited to those of a certain age. If we do not take care to preserve and appreciate this essence, we risk losing it entirely for the sake of refinement.

I can't wait for the Buell super cruiser!

Same here man I want one so bad but I want one like the prototype! The factory version isn’t the greatest looking compared to that sweet ass proto

[@wyvern4588]

Following this build closely!

[@Osyrus48]

Same. Waiting for HD to put the 1250T in this bad boy too. And with the aftermarket support caught up, this platform will be desirable even more

[@grimstar8402]

@@Osyrus48agreed, but they need to drop the price.

[@Osyrus48]

@@grimstar8402 yep thats the thing. Out the door and upgrades, it’ll probably cost me $20K+ …i’d probably just get the Buell SC and just change the exhaust.

[@guillermoolea2783]

Msrp is right at 13500 for the special and 11999 for the regular. And the only differences are the wheels and passenger accommodations riders and fairing but if you’re gonna change that anyways you can get away with the regular nightster and do the same upgrades

[@grimstar8402]

@@Osyrus48agree, if they sold this at $10k it would sell all day, especially with the possibility of these upgrades, but $14k then $3-$5k worth of upgrades and work, no thank you. A lot of other bikes that would still outperform it for the cost. If I could find a used one with low mileage, I think id jump on it and wait for all these mods.

[@Idahoshepherds83440]

You have great taste in bike builds. This is one of them . Your vision is ahead of the pack. I'm gonna buy a nightster and buy your parts. I'm gonna have a bad ass bike when I'm done. Thanks for what you do. Cut your own path

[@jonnymac8925]

Telling someone to cut their own path while saying that you are going to buy the same stuff he's installing on his is funny lol

[@JayBoorum]

I’ve said it before,and I say it again.Who the hell is anyone to criticize Kruesi !?!If Kruesi says it’s a dyna,IT’s A DYNA! If Kruesi says it’s badass, IT’S BADASS!The man is a Harley guru !!!

[@jonnymac8925]

Lolol it's a sportster, it's not a Dyna and it never will be.The Dyna left in 2017 and it's never coming back lol

[@srt4manguy]

Honestly it’s not a sportster either they shouldn’t have given it the title of sportster it’s something totally different #NewEarlyModelDynasaur

@@srt4manguystill a sportster

[@srt4manguy]

@@NoXQc i own a Dyna , 22lowrider s and now a nightster and i can tell you the Dyna and Lowrider are Harley’s the nightster feels like something totally different so call it a sportster but go ride one and you will see it’s def not a sportster haha

[@NoXQc]

@@srt4manguy cool story bro. It’s branded as a sportster from HD. Y’all comme suk on Kruesi’s chicken as much as y’all want. Still a sportster

[@allanespiritu3]

More videos of the build please! This thing is sick! It’s already such a ripper

[@JO-gp4in]

I love that you are looking at the Nightster. I went with a Pan Am last year and love this motor. I’m praying these bikes catch on (Nightster Pan Am), because they really have potential to be performance Harley’s. I just did a pipe a tune on mine and it’s crazy. I found you from the original nightster video, but as an old Dyna bro I love the content.Keep up the great work!

[@goldengoat9397]

It's dope seeing this tbh. I don't think anyone else is putting this much work into this bike. Very interesting!

[@nbowling10trio]

You guys are awesome! Love the content, thank you

[@kruesioriginals]

Thanks man we appreciate it

[@jeffarmusik9115]

I just picked up a 24' Nightster 2 months ago. Really digging the tech and performance. Thank you for putting all this thought into R&D of the bike when alot of people put it down. Can't wait to get some parts on it for better looks and sound! Good luck and thanks again!

[@jacksmithson2794]

I've been watching your channel for a while now and what initially hooked me was all the personality and honesty. It feels like I'm literally standing in the garage with some buddies talking shit about the bikes we love. THIS SERIES, on the other hand, is so incredibly sick. I love Harley and have a dyna (also in AZ), but there so much I cant stand about the "culture" and Harley's inability to keep with the time while still sticking to the piece of Harley everyone loves. This bike and build is the future and I count down the days for the next Nightster video you guys upload. Keep this shit up and I may have to trade in the dyna. Stay cool out there, it hot as all hell here in AZ

[@jakobrkerr]

Having a Sportster previously I've loved to watch builds on this channel that were something different, I couldn't relate to Dyna content lol. Race bike was awesome, stunt tail was something unique, but this build I've been glued to your upload schedule. Stoked to see what's next!

[@Oddman1980]

Thanks for the video. Every time you tinker with this thing I learn more about it. Nobody who has actually ridden one of these hates them. For that matter, for all the Nightster hate I read online, I sure haven't had anyone say anything bad about mine when they see it in person. I had a 750 Street Rod, it held 16oz in each fork leg. It had upside down forks though.

[@Doobie603]

4:50 This is why I love Kruesi Originals. 100% right!

[@Doobie603]

Waabababababababaa

[@Greggstirling]

I just test rode the Nightster Special at Sturgis after watching all of your videos hyping it. Coming from someone who loves a traditional twin cam early model dyna, this bike is awesome. It is light, nimble, very similar feeling as the early model, and really torquey/ fast. I fell in love instantly and can't wait to buy one. Hoping you guys and other companies create a buuuunch of aftermarket support for these because they are SICK.

[@RadDadLife]

The only bad part is the long waits. Between episodes. Awesome and I can’t wait to see this beast fully unleashed

[@angus_white]

Loving the camera work June

[@marathon1972]

What timing with this build! I just bought one a couple of weeks ago, love it!

[@leward]

One of these with the 1250 engine would be insane!!

[@bighilg27jr33]

Love these nightster videos. Can’t wait to see this thing rip fat burnouts!💪

Pioneer! Awesome build.

[@GrizzlyMoto923]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that smashes my fingers with the clutch lever

[@benjaminwhite7330]

I bought my nightster s and saw your first video of this bike come up. Love what you're doing and I personally love my bike. Also (even though im sure you know) turn the bike on but don't start it. Hold the throttle down and the fan comes on to cool it down. Keep up the great work man.

[@2exel.fitzjearl]

Sick build going down. Went down to my dealer to sit on one.. It felt great! Every video you guys drop makes me that much closer to snagging one.

[@darnellhill143]

Following this series very closely… I own a 24 Nightster, and I’m looking for ideas and aftermarket parts. Love this channel! Great work brotheerrrrr

[@JeffreyCole-du8mu]

I absolutely love mine and can't wait to be able to hook up with guys and get mine built.

[@MrBpritch100]

The sporty build is coming along dope! Looks JUST like an early model sporty now too!!

[@SJBagger]

Ryan absolutely kills me with his zingers, love it!

[@TickTownProductions]

I never really understood Kruesi… to me he comes off being abrasive… however I think he just has a no nonsense attitude and can back it up with a wealth of experience… so I subscribed to the channel today…

[@71graves90]

wow, that bike is surprisingly impressive. those wheels are sick kruesi. nice!

[@MrMrrome]

Im pretty hyped to see how this build comes out. I thought harley was abandoning the stunt rider community. But this new nightster is looking good.

[@thanosetsitty1896]

I knew you’re gonna make look badass.

[@jameskowalsky-yl1yx]

I have a 2024 Nightster so I love these vids. Wish I still lived in phoenix the riding is great.

[@mrchopboogie]

The last 3 bikes I bought at my local Harley dealer, I said if they threw in the service manual it was a deal. I still have them. They are essential for all the specs.

[@brookscarter1691]

Got my stunt bunny t-shirt delivered. Thanks guys. From Jackson mi.

[@tonywallace1583]

Tried one out. Liked it more than I thought I would. Fun little bike. Have to put your previous Harley ideas aside, as this is nothing like the older stuff.

Can’t believe people were tryna say you’re a sell out and must be lying about the bike.. they must be smoked out!!! Me and my girl were watching it and getting hyped on it just cause how genuinely excited you were getting about it, all giddy like a little kid 😂 Haters always find something to bitch about😂

Glad you like them!

[@FishFace13]

Hilarious vid 😂. Love it, 21:21 ‘I know what it feels like to put it on a Harley…’ like the Nighster isn’t?😅 Just had a loaner Nighster for 5 days (Street G ST at the dyno) & it was f.u.n. Got to its limit, but that was the joy of ripping around on it. And frankly there is plenty there to keep you happy all year long. This is the most amusing build, well done you guys 👍🏻

[@JeffreyCole-du8mu]

Keep going and screw the neigh sayers. I've been waiting and watching for a whole year for someone to do this.

[@InterstateVet]

Too be honest..you have made me excited about this bike. I ride a '23 Ultra, but would love a HD 'sport' bike!

I can attribute that the "not" crash bar works really well in a crash, as I went down with one and don't have a broken leg right now. Don't leave home without.

[@sixwheelcarlisle8491]

I’m really enjoying this build 😁😁

[@joellaurin9007]

Ok... I concede. That looks sweet now that it has the Kruesi touch.... or slap.

[@beowolfworld]

First of all I'm so happy I found this channel :D something I missed for myself :). But I'm here for the Nightster topic for all those "hard core" HD fans. I'm an old f**k who was in cars for most of his life, race, drift etc. and recently I decided to jump on motorcycles. As for my first motorcycle I was looking into few motors, Like Royal Enfield Super meteor, Kawasaki Vulcan S, Honda Rebel, Indian Sport Scout, and HD. I've decided to go with Nightster S as It got most tech on it, and it was cool ride. I always knew I would be looking for an old Harley, but my first motorcycle is something I just want to have and ride without any issues... and Nightster is a perfect suit for that... Just a noobs opinion :)

[@zachcummings7162]

Man these videos want me to get one of these bikes really badly 😅

[@keithburgad3350]

those screw drivers are the best ever. have 2 of them and one with a few missing bits. love them

[@raleighpacheco6243]

I love old Harleys but really starting to like this one, riding 1000 pounds of bike on a long run is nice but is not fun around town, got me looking hard at these now

Crazy how different it looks with what you have done!!! Really think it’s gonna be the next thing for HD, even if It not my favorite, it’s growing on me. Really want that display/infotainment cluster on my 21 streetbob!

There’s nothing worse than when the wind is hot. I live in a humid ass place so it suffocates me instead of burning it tme, but nothing makes me wanna call off a ride more than when you finally get out of town, and you get hotter. (I’ll still never call off a ride tho, if I’m more than 5m from where I’m parked it’s on)
