I love mine! At 5'4 you might have to have it lowered, but the Train is one of (if not THE) lowest bikes HD sells. As for 2-up riding. You'll have to change the Badlander, or your passenger will force you to pull over every 20 miles for relief! I completely agree with the "its the best looking harley of them all" statement!!! [sm=icon_ladiesman.gif]

I've modified mine a bit, as you can see in my sig pic. I have aseries of pictures that show the "evolution" from when I picked her up to the present in my picture gallery here.

Cheers!

If you plan on lots o' miles (and who doesn't?), then definitely change the Badlander seat, heheh... the longest I was able to put on that seat was around 3 hours, and my *** was wrecked![sm=insomnia.gif] Since I put the seat you see in my sig pic (A BAR Industries Hitchhiker), I've spent over 7 hours (minus gas and bathroom breaks) in the saddle with no discomfort at all! She's very smooth, and I can ride her all day!

Cheers!

I think what Clammy meant to say but didn't finish for some reason is this - "Its the best looking Harley of them all...except for the Deuce!" Or, maybe it would have been, "Except for the Deuce...yada, yada, yada"

Sorry, Clammy. Its just a weakness in me and the opportunity to aggatate a little provided too much temptation!

I hope that you are well up there in the land of snow and ice. It won't be too much longer now, will it?


(Actually, I almost bought a 'train myself)

Clammy's partial, man. (Just kidding) hehe. Although, I stop and look every single time I pass by one of his posts to stare at that NT of his. Night trains are beautiful and just so neat and trim looking. Go with it and make some mods. You'll never regret it.

Cheers!

Dear Student,

Do not appreciate your ride or weather reports. It is 25 F in Detroit area w/ salted roads. When we have pleasant riding weather (and you have 100 F f deg days), I'll send you my ride and weather reports!
