[@Slimbo_85]

I'm 6ft tall 270lbs would this be fit form my height and weight, comfortable?

[@jefftilghman9059]

I am an Iron man, but I do love all of the HD line especially the sportsters and Dynas. You have a gorgeous bike. Ride safe and enjoy.

I have a 2010 Harley Davidson Nightster and love it

[@rubo1964]

10k km on new bike and you are astonished how reliable it is! What did you expect bike falling a apart in 10k? Try Honda air cooled Nighthawk go forever without doing anything other then tires spark plugs and oil change basic maintenance.We got lot of them in NH forums over 100k 30yr old bike and nothing done to it mine has 17k and done nothing either. It just seems you were expecting the HD to fail you so quick well I am glad it hasn't but I would expect that from $10k bike. cheers

nice bike. i got an 08 nightster. Forward controls. 2inch tank lift. vnh short shot. solo saddle bag. progressive 10inch shocks. screamin eagle intake (not to fond of its look). i didnt remove plastic and wires after tank lift. removed reflectors. wish i could get side mount license holder but cops in australia love that stuff. waiting on lower spoiler and removal of fork boots.

[@TopHatPlus]

Excellent mods, the nightster is a under rated secret in the harken world.

[@ranplan]

My next bike must be an 07-12 Nightster. So dope man!

[@scottliegel855]

instead of the Michelin Scorchers go with the Dunlop 401,, Tire will last you 3 times with the Michelin will,, excellent handling sticks to the road and great when riding in the rain,, but it sure do just my opinion.. nice ride good luck with her.

[@TopHatPlus]

Thanks for the input, i will look into it for sure!

[@davidmacgregor5193]

I prefer Avon Cobra tyres, they transform the Sportster's handling. My Iron 883 came with Michelin Scorcher tyres as stock fitment, I've never trusted them, the front tyre doesn't give any rider feedback and the rear slides about in the wet. Thank God for the Avon's, they were specially developed for cruiser motorcycles and they have a 10mm deep centre tread, so they not only give great grip, they last for many thousands of happy miles.

Nice bike mate! I really like the Nightster I was looking at buying one but I bought a 72 instead and am very happy with it bar the pitiful 2.1 gallon tank which looks amazing but you cannot get to far out of town lol.

[@TopHatPlus]

I find mine a pain, I couldn't imagine smaller, runs out at 160 km, I fill at 120

[@72sportsterguy83]

TopHatPlus I get about 75 to 80 kilometres before low fuel light comes on. Luckily where I live there are plenty of gas stations. But it is very restrictive. Love my bike great fun but yeah filling up all the time gets old quick.

[@scottliegel855]

actually the Dunlop K five nine ones, are even better for the Sportster Tire.. little pricey but I'll tell you what you'll stick to those Corners.. they used to run them on the old 1200 XL Sportster sport until they decided to switch over to a cheaper tire..

[@carsacrossmissouri3250]

You should do oil change’s before the season not at the end

[@Prince-jb9hm]

Could you put your mods in the description pls. I'm new to the bike seen but I absolutely love what you did with your bike

[@gsabella4]

God Tank lifts are hideous. Just my opinion. Sweet bike though, i'm looking at used Nightsters right now.

[@TopHatPlus]

The tank lift allows the wire tuck, which opens up the top portion of the motor, with stock bars rollback, and stock mirrors flipped it gives it a nice flow.

[@gsabella4]

@@TopHatPlus cool cool. Any opinion on me looking at a 2009, 2012 used nightster? Anything i should watch for? Both are under 4k miles.

[@crocskin]

Anyone else hear disturbed at 7:00 🥁🎶

[@maltasfinest85]

hey brother what brand is your tail light? couldn't make it what you said

[@jjfitz7150]

I’m about 5”4’ i think and around 112 pounds do you think this bike would be good for me?

[@TopHatPlus]

It’s incredible how easy to ride it is, I have a28” inseam and fit very well and you can lower it from if needed.

[@sutous4188]

Just wondering how it is for ridding two up

[@Puck90a]

The push rods, shocks, pegs, and forks are straight lines.

[@ninja63639]

Does that tail light come with an integrated signal option?

[@TopHatPlus]

I am not sure, the only options i seen was with or without license plate light.

[@maltasfinest85]

is there anywhere you list the upgrades? like the turn signals

[@TopHatPlus]

Turn signals are harley davidson bezels with smoked on the front and red on the back, they come with new bulbs as well. The tail light is a kuryakyn low profile smoked tail light without the license plate window. It is for a dyna but with a wire extension to the factory plug it works perfectly. If i remember correctly it was like 10" of wire.

[@baker98productions]

Just curious, you sound American, but you refer to km not miles?

[@TopHatPlus]

I am 100% Canadian. Born and raised in Hamilton Ontario

[@James-gi7lj]

Does it run?

[@TopHatPlus]

Been in storage all winter but I assume so

[@erickch33]

How much do those bikes cost

[@raygalea6623]

Is all harly has stif ride

[@TopHatPlus]

yes

[@filoIII]

Why he's using km, who knows, but 10k km is 6k miles.

[@snapascrew]

filoIII because literally every country in the world except one does.

[@pamsimonson5500]

I have hackers who follow my life around and will go out of their way to be hard core vindictive every way everyday straight for over 3 years cause I called a person by there full name.

[@s.g.t5056]

[@TopHatPlus]

$9500 cdn

[@mr.gunnymcshooty1776]

Too much yapping, not enough motorcycle noises

[@fabfrenchies1974]

You gotta use miles with a Harley, not kilometers.
