Rode a Night Rod Special at the Demo Days - 5/15/2008 7:49:15 PM    donk_316 Posts: 616 Joined: 9/10/2007 From: AB, Canada Status: offline Very cool bike! Only complaint is the bars are too low or the seat is too high. Otherwise the engine was beautiful, handling was rock solid and was very happy after getting off. Cool bike guys. New respect for them. _____________________________ 2008 FXSTB Big Rads / K&N / FuelPak / C&C Seat HD Inverted Front End / HD Billet Drag Bars / PM 6db Caliper Post #: 1

Good power, solid ride and the handling was better than 95% of the wider tire bikes I have ridden. I wasn't thrilled with the handlebar position but bars are easy to change. _____________________________ To a hammer everything looks like a nail. (in reply to DesertSpeed) Post #: 6
