Craigslist Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Stripped down and gritty, the Nightster reinterprets the Sportster legend with rugged, retro-rod styling. A solo seat and lowered suspension puts the rider just 25.3 inches above the pavement (0.95 inches lower than the 1200L Low!). Clipped front and rear fenders expose chunky tires. Wheel rims and hubs, forks and handlebars, hand and foot controls are finished in basic black. Fork gaiters and a bullet-hole belt guard come from the old-school book of style. Combination rear turn indicators/tail/stop lights and a side-mount license plate folded against rear tire clean up the rear fender. The classic 3.3-gallon fuel tank is topped with a The Willie G.® Skull Collection Fuel Cap. Muscular 1200 Evolution engine barks through new slash-cut chrome Staggered mufflers.Bike is in great condition. I presently am the second owner but have put all miles on it as it was bought with 1000K on it. Bike has never been dropped/laid down. There are some small scratches on the rear exhaust as it has scraped while cornering. There are also minor blemishes on the one up section of the aftermarket seat. I still have original seat and will include it with the purchase. It’s a fun, powerful, hard-nosed, streamlined suicide machine that makes even sissys look tough. I really love the bike but it was purchased with the understanding that it was a temporary fling.FEATURES:The XL 1200N Nightster features:AFTERMARKET: Sportster® Badlander® Custom SeatAFTERMARKET: Black Passenger Footpeg Support KitAFTERMARKET: Fuel Cap Medallion - The Willie G.® Skull CollectionRubber-mounted XL Evolution 1200cc engineMedium Gray powder-coated engine with polished coversBlack laced steel wheels, 19-inch front / 16-inch rearBlack low-rise handlebarChrome Slash Cut Staggered Shorty Dual exhaustBlack mid-mount foot controlsLowest-Profile rear shocksLowest-Profile front forksClassic 3.3-gallon fuel tankBlack front forks with gaitersBullet hole belt guard and front fender supportsSide-mount license plate holderCombination rear brake/tail/turn lightsLowered front and rear suspensionOptional Smart Security SystemPERFORMANCEEngine Torque6 (per SAE J1349): 79 ft. lbs. @ 4000 rpmLean Angle (per SAE J1168): Right: 29° Left: 30°Fuel Economy7(EPA urban/highway test): 42/57 mpgMore...
