jimb,
Thanks for the info. Again, your front end is set up very nice. Ill look into ebay and see if their store is still up. Those prices are pretty reasonable. Appreciate it.

trob,
Ill give the video thing a try. Maybe my daughter will help me. Ill try and get it posted tonight. Like you said, if the video thing doesnt work, I'll do the pics.

ttlpakg - dude I really didn't need to see that picture of your train. I'm jealous! $7k eh? How much of that was labor? Just wondering how much the kit set you back with the wheel. Sickest looking train I've ever seen!

trob,
Here is the my attempt at attaching this video. Its a bit dark and I didnt have enough light in my garage. The pics of the compressor didnt come out at all (too dark). Ill have to wait until tomorrow. But I hope you get the idea with the video. Hope it works.

Just my 2 cents here. Don't get me wrong. I think the 250 kit
on the Night Train is very nice. However, I think T-Rob's 200
kit makes his Night Train look more balanced from front to
back.

Man...that's great! I appreciate it. Couple more questions...

1. Do you have the handlebar controls?
2. Do you have the air pressure gauge or is that not needed?
3 Where did you get yours from?

Thanks,
T

trob,
I have the handlebar controls. however, they dont stick out or complicated. They are integrated with my left side hand controls. Small and very subtle black controls (up button and down button).

No gauges. I believe there was an option to get it, but I passed on it. After messin' with it as much as I have, I know where it needs to be when I am riding.

I just picked this kit up at my HD dealer. They offered different suspension kits. I did the research on them and decided to go with Progressive. Since the dealer was able to get it, I just went with them.

Man, I wish there was a company that was cheaper. I'd love to have a 250 wide on the back of my train.
