If you can afford it you want fuel injection. A Dyna is fine. I just like the Road King or Heritage Deluxe. Get some pipes.


Matter of personal preference but I'll take a carbed v-twin over injected any day. Dump the stock cv carb and put a simpler carb, like an S&S, on it.

Very true.

If you have a group of guys that you ride with and you dont have a Harley, you will get endless ribbing about it. You just arent one of the guys. Its kinda like a bunch of guys (Cowboys fans) going to a sports bar to watch a football game and a Commander fan takes along. You get no respect. If you have a Sportster, you at least have a HD so you are kinda part of the group.


I used to LOVE destroying loud mouth bigtwin riders with the little old sportster I had at the time.

Cheaper, less complicated and you can work on it yourself. Also poorer emissions, less fuel mileage, doesn't run as well esp low end and doesn't start as well esp in cold weather.

Emissions, maybe.

Fuel mileage, maybe but insignificant in the big picture.

Doesn't start well, not any of my bikes.

Doesn't run as well, Wanna race?

If you are going to run a HD, then buy something w/ a rake to it. Those classic store Sportsters look silly. If you like the style of the Sportsters, you might like this.

This is a Nightster



I cant find ANY Nightster's that look like this one. They all look like Roadster's with the Nightster version in the description.


I have to admit... you have me WANTING the one in the PIC! lol

This is a mod'd Nightster. That means he has a couple of kits on it that you would need to get to get this look.

The main kit you like is the chopper raked front end.


This is a 2007 Nightster 14 degree with 6" over stock tubes. They sell these kits at HD and after market. Mod Mod Mod

Buy a stock Nighster and mod it. :) That's what I would do.

Can you mod a roadster to be a nightster? for the most part?
