Default New Bike

This is my first bike and Harley Davidson product. A 2006 Night Train FXSTBI. I found a great deal on it used and I love the thing.

It had some mods done to it when it was purchased. Pual Yaffe skirt blowers, SE fuel mod., SE air, and LED tail light. Ive put on a heartland side mount plate holder.

I am going to install the arlen ness lowering kit and I am debating on putting black lower fork sliders on. I cant decide though. I figure if I have the front forks off it will be the best time to do it.

Shoot me some opinions.

Thanks.

Thumbs up you bought the Night Train for a reason...

IT'S BLACK!!!

A touch of chrome is nice, ( love the pipes ) but that's it.
Powder coat 'em....and don't make me tell you again!

And while you're at it, if you got the extra jack, powder coat the Trees also. It really adds to the front of the bike!!!

Another helpfull tip, to make the bike look a little "cooler"
Pull off the reflectors! They come off real easy with a little elbow grease. Then just use some wd-40 or some goof-off to remove the sticker residue.
- just my 0.02

I think black lowers would balance the bike out.
