I saw a Nightster at the shop today when I was picking up my Sundowner that had black miniapes with those HD Diamond Cut cables. Freakin awesome! I am looking to put them on mine, maybe later this year. Also looking at bars for it. Those drag bars really give the Sporty a low and lean look to it, but I'll have to see about the comfort level.
ODD: Do you have the rear lowered on that? If so, what kind of shocks did you go with to do it?

Thought about lowering the front to give a more evened out look? I like it the way it is, don't get me wrong, but with the front lowered, that thing would look ilke it going 100 MPH when it's sitting still.
Great looking bike, I can tell you really put some time and $$$ in to it.

The front is lowered but only 1/2" from stock. Didn't replace forks, just slide them in 1/2" further because I wanted a more evened out look. That's as level as she's going...Already drag on the right because of the lowered rear. Pipes are so close....Yeeeouch!!!!!!!

Mikey, that's the kind of info I was looking for. They looked like they would be uncomfortable on the back during a long haul, just wanted confirmation. the looks are there, but I didn't buy the bike to look at. The other bars I was looking at was the Buckhorns to replace the stock 1200C bars that are on there now. Sitting on a couple at the local shop that have them on there, they feel like they would be comfy on a longer ride. Kicking myself now for not sitting on the Nightster with the mini-apes to see how that felt. Probably be sold by the next time I get up there.

ODD: how far did the 11" shocks drop the seat height? Mine is perfect for me right now, but the wife has to tippy toe it when she straddles it. She can flatfoot the Soft tail Deluxe, but I don't really want to drop that kind of coin on a bike for her until I am sure she would ride often enough to justify it.

Well, when I ride, I am hunched over a bit. My bars break towards the rider about 6 - 8 " out so you don't reach for them as bad. I have seen straight drag bars and tey were even more uncomfortable than mine. When I did the Doofapalooza in Colorado last summer, it wasn't my back that really gave me problems, it was that hard a$$ seat...I was so saddle sore...I had basically just got the seat and the leather is a thick grain leather so it was not broken in yet, by the end of the trip it was...But my a$$ was broke too! COMFORT? It's all about being cool man...Just sayin'

I am 5' 5" and when I sit on it I am really low. You can sort of see in my signature pic the seat height compared to my height (or lack of...) and that seat is a BadLander after market buy. With the right seat, the stock seat is too fat and has way too much padding, and the shorter shocks, you can probably change the seat height by 4" definately and maybe as much as 5"...

WM ........... I've never had buck horns, but those that I know that have had them, HATED THEM ... they put your hands in a not friendly position, and on long hauls your feel (so I'm told, and can understand after looking at them) that you have to HANG ONTO the bars all the time. with buckhorns the grips are positioned basically front to back ... so you can sorta get the idea that you are 'holding on' all the time, as opposed to 'resting' your hands on the grips. also, with buckhorns, your hands are positioned at 90degrees (thumbs up), as opposed to shall we say, palms down. Palms down is more natural and therefore on the long haul, more comfortable ..... I think the buck horns look ok on the ***** 450/650 and the likes of that ............ nice for bar hopping, some times,l maybe, or not .................. NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING wrong with buck horns ......... jus sayin'
