Default Just switched to a softail

My Dyna served me well but I couldn't resist this one.&nbsp\\; I had a 99 Superglide Sport with a 95" big bore, SE cams, ported heads, and pretty much the whole ball of wax.&nbsp\\; It was a fun little bruiser but I've always wanted a Night Train, even before I was into motorcycles years ago so a couple weeks ago I stroll into the dealer to check on some new wheels for the Dyna and lo and behold there's a Night Train at the front door.&nbsp\\; I held back for a few days but finally sealed the deal a couple days ago.

I tell you what, going from the Dyna to this thing is amazing.&nbsp\\; I couldn't be happier with the bike and other than maybe throwing some wheels and changing the grips and pegs I don't think I'll fool with this one.&nbsp\\; It came with a SE breather and VH black pipes.

You'll have to forgive me but I seem to have misplaced my battery charger for my digital camera so I'm on the hunt right now and I'll get some pictures when I find it.&nbsp\\; I'm stoked!!

HA! if this is your plan, you may want to refrain from looking at the night train pics section, there are some BAD *** bikes there!

nothing comes close to owning Train(not to say other bikes are no good just we all have are own taste and the only way i would get rid of my Train is if some one pried the grips out of my cold dead hands

Ride quality is definately improved and I have to say that even though I've modified every car and bike I've ever owned it's nice to have a smooth running, fuel injected machine that I can walk outside and hit the button and go shortly thereafter.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; With my old bike, it was a bit tempermental at times and was a good old fashioned *** kicker so to compare it to this new one probably isn't very fair.

I do love this thing though!

Ok, so wheels, pegs, grips, a headlight and that's all I'm doing...........and maybe some powdercoat......and maybe a 250 conversion.........and that's it.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
