Harley Sportster Nightster - Team Dark Custom
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ย. 2013
- I've gotten a lot of inspiration from other TH-cam users, so it's about time I share some of my own mods here.
It's a 2008 Harley Sportster Nightster XL1200N.
Bught it second hand and tweaked it to my own likings.
Big thanks to my dad for helping me with fabrication!
Also, I recommend getting a Clymer shop manual, or similar, it's saved me a few times.
Otherwise, if you have any questions about your Sporty, sign up to XLforum, all answers can be found there.
Things left to do:
Already bought, but need to install Buchanan's twisted stainless spokes front and rear
Paint the graphics in gunmetal silver, dark silver flake or silver leaf
On the wish list:
Daymaker headlight
1250 kit with cams and head work
Complete internal wiring
Paint the grey engine wrinkle black
Figure Machine Vision cam cover
Tear it down, cut off all unnecessary brackets, smooth out some horrible MoCo welds and powder coat frame, fork and swing arm
Mod list, so far:
Chopped cam cover, struts and rear fender
Removed front fender, belt guards and a ton of plastic

One of the best looking sportsters I have seen
Just recently purchased a 2008 sportster nightster 8021 miles, one owner, no modifications. Super psyched to make it my own & change a few things.
I love all the details. Totally how I’d build my sportster if I had the budget. Great job.
Simply Beautiful, your talent and imagination truly shows through on this bike.
Nice job, cool blinkers, that's a sweet example of what a nightster can look like.
Stumbled on your video while I wad looking for mod ideas for my Wide Glide. My first bike was a Sportster and I've always liked the Nightsters and I can say, without any shadow of a doubt, your bike is the absolute SICKEST looking sportster (of any variety) I've ever seen. Your vinyl work and design scheme are great, I love your indicators. Overall a very well planned and put together bike, absolutely love it!
Thank you, really appreciate that!
Agree, Nightsters are great, real fun to modify.
The nicest build I have seen for awhile !
Love the way you relocated the coil!! awesome bike man
Great job man, looks sweet!!!
Great Video! Also, thank you for adding your parts list!
Great Bike I love what you did with the coil and ignition switch
THIS is what a sportster was born to look like.
Very nice scoot! You did a good, tasteful job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Very nice, I ride that same year Nightster! Just getting started on the modifications.
This is probably the coolest sportster I've seen on the internet.
Great vision & well thought out. I will dog you for the thank lift lad... Proper bobbers never had tank lifts.
The 200 rear tyre would finish that off lovely 👍🏽 may have to convert to chain drive
Only one thing I'd add to this bike personally and that's a headlight mask just to give it a mean face but this is sick I love it!!
That small spider throughout the vid
I rubbed my screen twice.
@@guffinator70 dang same
@@guffinator70 seriously i smudged the screen with my thumb trying to kill it

Nice bike bro! You gave me so many ideas. If I were you I would definitely paint the engine black and put some black RSD upper fork covers on it to complete the look
Have it down to bare frame now, black powder coat on engine covers are done, wrinkle black on the engine case is up next.
Nice ride well done 👍

@Taylor M (no reply button on your post for some reason)
I know, I had the same concerns, they're not listed as a fit for the Nightster, so I contacted PM and they guaranteed that the 6 piston calliper that I wanted was a direct bolt on (Part Nr. 0051-2917-BM). The 6 piston calliper needs a 13" rotor, but I think the 4 piston version is a direct fit on the stock 11,5 " rotor.
If you have any questions, just drop PM a line via their website, they're quick to answer.
It’s sick for a sportster
Love the bike
Very, Very Cool…thanks for sharing….
Immaculate!
I spent the first few minutes trying to clean your fly from my PC screen :-)
Beauty!
