DYNA WIDE GLIDE OR NIGHT TRAIN??
Deciding on one of the two.They both seem to have very similiar specs. What one would be more comfortable, smoother, and handle better for longer hauls and in general ?thx

They are both comfy, tho you may need to alter the drag bars on the 'train to get it to your optimal riding position. I have a softy and Dyna, and they handle about the same, though the dyna has more clearance. Both fwd controls will not be great for long long distances, but get hwy bars (or those 'swtichblade' pegs) if that is a problem.

Get both! 
Tough call really. The WG will be a little smoother at highway speeds, and handles slightly better around the curves. The Train is sweet looking, all blacked out!

They are both fine machines. Which one gives you a woody? Buy that one.

I was deciding between the two also, I chose the night train because I liked the hidden shock look better. I also perfer the oil tank look over the battery box look, but thats just me.

RE: DYNA WIDE GLIDE OR NIGHT TRAIN??
Last few years I have had a 2003 Nighttrain a 06 Street Glide and an 06 WG for me the WG is the bike, the night train I just could never make it comfortable for me, the street glide while an AWESOME bike was just too much for everday. The WG gives me best of both worlds I am extremely comfortable and can pack the crap out of it (of course it all in T-bags and bungeed instead on in saddle bags. Guess you have to decide for youself like early which one gives you a woody. Spend of few miles on both if you can that will help make the decision.
