Smile Wideglide or Night train?
Have seriously narrowed down to these two choices after owning an FXDX and Road King. Riding in europe and looking at post 2007 (cam chain tensioner improved). Any views of direct experience welcomed. Have also ridden a WG and Heritage Classic.

I prefer the looks of a Night Train but I've never ridden either one.

There's no Softail that I would choose over a Dyna.

I've never ridden a Dyna, but my cousin has a 2004 Night Train and I have ridden that. It's a softail... I like them but some don't. I think they are pretty similar bikes but if I had to choose I'd take the Night Train

Yep I owned an '05 NightTrain, it was a really nice bike but I much prefer the Wide Glide, I'm currently riding WG number 3, a '13 and looking to add a number 4 to the garage, the 4th Wide Glide must be an '02 or earlier, one FI Harley is more than enough for me
