Default Night Train winter project is complete

This is my 2008 Night Train. Over the winter I did a few adjustments. I lowered the rear 1 1/2 inches and the front 1 3/4 inches. I painted the fork sliders satin black and added some "gators". I relocated the front directionals to the top triple tree. I relocated the coil pack with the Exile kit. I swapped out the primary for the Exile/Rivera-Primo belt drive kit. I went with the SE three bar tail light kit. I removed all tins and buffed them out a bit to freshen. Replaced the tires with another new set of Michelin Commander II's. This is my second pair of them, best tire I've ever run on it. I replaced the rocker box gaskets, front lower was seeping. I switched the stock air cleaner trim for the SE trim ring and installed a K&N filter. I put on a smoked/frenched signal lens kit.

More pictures. I also have a complete floorboard set up for it. But it won't fit with a 3 inch belt drive.

I think the CommanderII front tires are too skinny... plus mine developed cups. I went back to the Dunlop for the front.
