Features may include:

BLACKED-OUT LOOK

Pitch black and sinister as hell, the Night Rod® Special model is aggressively styled from the front end to the back. Engine, wheels, forks, triple clamps, swingarm—they're all blacked out and thick with uncompromising, drag strip attitude.

DOUBLE-BARREL EXHAUST

The Night Rod® Special motorcycle proves that a performance exhaust can still be a beautiful set of pipes. The double-barrel exhaust features brushed finish dual mufflers, black end caps and exhaust shields. Performance and bold style erupt with every crack of the throttle.

FAT REAR TIRE

Behold an ultra-fat, 240mm rear tire for a powerful, no-nonsense look and added grip. Harnessing explosive, off-the-line power, the rear tire on the Night Rod® Special motorcycle enhances the pure dragster look with the sticky, high-performance tread you need for staying glued to the pavement.

LOW-RISE HANDLEBAR

Grab the slammed stainless steel, drag-style handlebar for an aggressive riding position—it's a comfortable, slightly forward position reminiscent of tearing up the racetrack. And for 2012, we moved them back, reducing your reach for more comfort and more attitude.

RADIATOR DESIGN

Every inch of a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle is created to sync up with the bike's overall look and performance. The Night Rod ®Special is no exception. As our very first liquid-cooled rides, we turned to styling to make sure the radiator on the V-Rod® models became part of the design instead of an interruption to the flow of the eye.
