I am seriously considering selling my Nightster and upgrading to a softtail. If i do, i want either a Nighttrain or a Rocker C.
With either one i will be putting a heartland kit on it. the rocker kit is an easy upgrade without cutting the frame or getting into the tranny. the nighttrain 250 kit would require getting into the tranny and making cuts to the frame. I am not to excited about doing this on a brand new bike.
If i get the rocker, i would change the primary, timer, and tranny cover to the wrinkle black ones off the nighttrain just to black out the bike some more. I also do not really like the wheels, so those would be changed on either bike. Can you put a 21" wheel on the Rocker?
The NT and heartland 250 kit works out to be about the same price as the Rocker and the heartland ez conversion kit.

Think you answered your own question. But I have to agree with everyone else NT.
