Default Custom Night Train build

Well, I found and bought another 09 Train and decided to do another build. I was going to keep it simple then I got carried away. My plans are to do a swing arm FL style rear end on air ride. Freight Train front end with 16" or 18" apes and I think I'm just about sold of the idea of putting a 26" wheel up front. It's going to take some time but I got cracking on it the other day. Once I get the rear end on I'm going to start building a complete custom Titanium fishtail exhaust. It's going to be a long process but it should come out killer!

Currently I'm at a standstill on the bike. I'm waiting on a few more parts to come in. I should have the FL rear end complete soon.

Finally put on the rear shocks. The air compressor was a little of a pain in the *** to get hooked up but its finally in there. As soon as my rear wheel gets here I'll start mocking up my fender and get working on the exhaust. I'll post up more pics soon.

Finally got ground to putting on the rake kit and 26" wheel. Don't mind my PVC pipe bars lol. I just mocked up a set of apes to see what height I want. Hopefully I'll get the rear end on this weekend and post some more pics.

Yessir it's a dirty bird tail. PVC is cheap and it took me maybe 10 minutes to make. Just trying to decide if I'm going with 18s or 16s
