The last three, I'm just about done, just a bit of fine tuning and she'll be a peach. Sorry about the low light pics, just finished and was a bit excited, I'll try to post some better ones when the sun comes back. Love to hear what you think

It's deff a labor of love.

Ever think about changing the bars? Makes a bike difference. I put a set of superbike bars on mine, and it makes a bike difference in the riding position.

Looks good!!!! unfortunately you cant just change bars on a nitehawk like the other bikes. I'm sure someone does make them for a price.

I wanted to replace the handlebars with something like the ones on the Yamaha 650 special, like the ones pictured below, but as cb650 said most aftermarket bars aren't compatible with the nitehawk, and I wouldn't even know where to begin to make it work.
