My First Harley: 2007 1200 Green Nightster Part 1

IDENTIFY

Picked up my first Harley last week. 07 Nightster. I might add, I know nothing of the breed! I have had many other brands in my stable (currently 5 street bikes) but never a Harley. Figured for 3.5K I would give it a ride or two and see what happens. Never rode a Harley, and still haven't. It is cold and snowy here...

This machine has 3500 miles on the clock. Last inspected in 2012. I do not know the previous history. Bike has some rust laying around. Especially some of the spokes, it really bothers me. But I have decided not to dump money into it until I decide if it stays or goes.

I have been told by a couple peeps that this machine has a few accessories added. Can you tell by the pic, what they are and who made them? If you need specific pics let me know.

From what I gather or have been told, seat, forward controls, sissy bar (do they still call it that?), speedo relocation, Tripples, 4 degree rake added, risers, bars, grips and pillion pegs to match the forward controls, air intake and Vance and Hines exhaust (damn loud I might add). Maybe the experts can find other accessories. Oh, it has LED's to light up the engine bay. I find that slightly comical, but hey, to each his/her own.

Going to change out the fluids, lube the cables and ck the tire pressure (new tires) and ride her...

Thanks for reading. And mucho thanks if you comment. I also might add, this is chapter one of this novel. I have several other questions. Right now the basics. I need to know what I have!

Stay warm.
