Hey, not that it's a life threatening thing, but next time you have a question about your Night Train, post it in the NT thread...lots of peeps in there that know their ****.

NT thread? Where's that???
Same are this thread is in...Softail catagory. Look towards the top of all the listed threads and you will see one specially for each softail model.

thats a picture thread not a night train forum.
Well, that might be the name of it, but if you go through the pages of it, you will see that there is where most of us NT people talk about our bikes. It ain't just for pics, man....

It is for pics...but it apparently went[sm=offtopic.gif] by the sound of things.

I like to use the picture threads to get ideas or see how something might look. It will become unmanageable if it becomes muddied with overflow how-to questions from here.

Hey...TRob is dead on...I had an Arlen Ness kit in there first but with the D&D pipe the bike sat too low.

I put a Platinum Air ride on it now so I have some instant adjustability. I still ride it as low as I can without scraping the pipe.

The front is lowered with the Arlen Ness kit as well. It looks great but is pretty darn stiff. I don't notice it so much anymore though.
