Wide Glide, I haven't heard good things about the Night Train.

The best way for you to know which is right for you is, if at all possible, test ride them both.

I've owned Wide Glides and did have a NightTrain for a short time; there is a difference. The Softail has the 'B' engine and a different frame and suspension and doesn't have the same 'feel' as a Dyna. If you can ride each one you'll discover which is the better choice for you.

My Wide Glides are still here, the NT?

Ride them both and decide for yourself.

I agree with the others in this thread. I bought a Softail Slim S last year and sold it. Now I have a Low Rider S. The dyna fit me better, had more pep, and felt more mechanical. They are both very different animals. Just ride both and you'll definitely feel the differences. You just have to find which one is for you.

Ride them then decide. Interweb opinions mean nothing. .. but,.... the night train is a little long in the tooth, yes?

As others stated; ride em both. I love my lrs and would never get rid of it, but I do love the night trains. Never owned one but I would like to do a 124 build on one at some point....now if I could only get the ol to sell her bike....

I owned ONE "B" engined Harley and HATED it. Felt too much like a metric bike. Got rid of it after only 3 months! I'd never buy any Harley with the counter balanced engine again. I've owned several "baggers", 3 Electra Glides, a Road King, and a Street Glide, and I'm now back on a Low Rider. Dynas are the BEST "motorcycle" Harley makes. JMHO.

**** man that's depressing cause so many people say that and I really like the look of the nightrain. Oh well guess I'll just have to ride one and see for myself.
