Stage 3
The Third Stage of Mods are to relocate the Speedo below the Fuel tank , to raise the fuel tank about 2 inches to give that bobber look and move the ignition, coils and wiring to the left.I liked the drag bars,flanders low cafe drag bars,I went with the broomstick type with stock risers initially,but it went too low and not so comfortable to ride long distances ,so I got a 3.5 inch risers which are quite comfortable now,but i think a 4.5 or 5.5" risers would be perfect.I liked the solo spring seat from the harley so got the solo spring seat and the spring seat kit as well.I have also moved the front turn signal lights to the fork and got clear lens with visors.the mirrors are mounted under the bars just like the harley forty–eight , I think they are pretty cool.
Those are the mod's for now and the stage 4 mods to come are the custom paint job,lower rear shocks.change the headlight mounting to the fork,change to 5 3/4th bobber style head light,chop rear fender for the bobber look.get a bobber style tail lamp,relocate the rear indicators.

Concept
My Kustom Nightster is basically designed on the lines of harley bobbers and cafe racer concepts.
Stage 2
The Second Stage of Mods are A Harley Rear Seat,Silencer Style Grips,The Paint job and Local Fab stuff.
I have the original seat and got the rear seat if ever I need to ride with a pillion,which I hardly do.I liked the silencer style grips from the Harley,they have a complete set(foot pegs,shifter peg).I wanted to Paint my Head's,Push Rod's,Disc Callipers,Air Filter Cover,Rear Pulley and the Engine Covers.I have decided to go with the matt black finish on the covers, the heads and the rest with the Harley orange.
The fab work consisted of a custom number plate, drilling of the exhaust cover, drilling in the levers to get a raw look to match the hand grips.
Banjara Harley have been very helpful in gettin an awesome paint job and fab stuff done.

Dtunerz Kustom 1200N
It all started off on the 9th of the October when I got the brand new Harley Davidson XL 1200 Nightster.
I started working on my kustom nightster getting tips from all various tune ups around the world.most of my research is from the web and I definitely need to thank XL Forums,Banjara Harley,Roland Sands,John from Harley Service for providing some good tips,Mark from mandmcycles.com for shipping me the parts to India.
Stage 1
The First Mod I started on was the Exhaust system,The stock exhaust of the Sportsters are Quiet. I have done some research around on different systems available,of them the first and foremost is from the Harley itself "Screaming Eagle Exhaust" which is a slip on and it does provide some great note.I looked up online and found out most of the harleys "sportster" in and around usa are hooked up with exhausts like vance & hines , bassani , bub and lot of other custom makes.
I some how liked the way the shotshorts looked and also for the sound I preferred those.most people online recommended me to go with vance & hines and also most sportsters i have come across had those.I have checked out a lot of videos ,heard different exhausts online before making the decision,but trust me what you hear online and later in real can be so different,coz after we installed the exhaust and fired up its way too loud to imagine and simply awesome,just no words to explain.
I have got the screaming eagle stage 1 air cleaner and have gone with the vance and hines fuel pack.there is an option for power commander as well but again people recommended me to stick with vance and hines.
The First set of mods have the Vance & Hines ShotShorts Exhaust + Screaming Eagle Stage 1 Air Cleaner + Vance & Hines Fuel Pack.
