Hello all, so I am working on a deal for a 2009 Night Train, but Id like some advice on the parts on the bike as Im not at all familiar with it. The bike has im told a 110 Stage V Tire Shredder kit with VH pipes and SE intake. Is this a reliable setup? Its not my main bike, but wont be a garage queen. It has 29000kms on it, but not sure how long with kit. Dealer inspection was good, comp test etc all passed, it idles great.
Many info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
As long as the kit was installed properly, you shouldn't have any issues. I have the (factory) 110 motor in my 2016 fatboy S and it has a little over 10k and I haven't had an issue yet. I know that the stage v kit is a bit different from a stock 110.
I know that the factory 110's have lifter issues and possibly valve spring issues.
I'm going to have my lifters, valve springs and possibly push rods replaced with better components at around 18k. Also, does the bike come with receipts for the stage v kit and installation cost and parts? IMO, I'd like to have that kind of documentation for verification and peace of mind.
If you have a trusted indy shop and are serious about the bike, I'd take it there for a second opinion. All and all, it's your decision at the end of the day. Just be thorough and make sure you made the right decision as I know friends who got burned pretty bad on used bikes.
