Just a little under 30 custom bits and pieces were fitted onto the bike in the place of the original ones, totaling about 5,500 euros, which is roughly 5,700 in American dollars. Most of these bits are small and rather affordable elements, like covers and mounts, but we do get more expensive fittings, like say the radiator shroud or the two fenders wrapping around Avon-shod wheels.
As far as we can tell, the engine was left unmodified, meaning we’re dealing with Harley’s liquid-cooled Revolution Max engine. Dubbed 975T in this application, it is rated at 90 horsepower 95 Nm for torque. The exhaust that accompanies it though does seem tampered with.
At the time of writing, a brand new Nightster is offered by Harley starting from $13,499, but in the case of the Night Flyer only adding the parts alone (full list here) brings that closer to the $20,000 mark. Top that off with the man-hours and the paint job, and we get easily thrown over that.
As said, the Harley-Davidson Night Flyer is the first Nightster modified by Thunderbike, but knowing this crew we can bet more of them will come our way in the near future.
