Default 2009 Night/Freight Train Build

Best part of owning someone is to make it yours. So here goes after searching and searching I finally found a really clean and low mileage NT. I’ve browsed this forum for years and read over tons of knowledge and seen some pretty good ideas. Y’all might have seen some other random pics here and there of my bike from my other account. Wanted to change my name and couldn’t so started up a new one. So here’s my build. It’s gonna drag out over a couple weeks being I’m outta state working half the month.

One of my 120’s Thought I had the bike balanced a little better than I did but when I pulled the front end it got a little wobbly on the stand. I need it back haha time to use them.
