Default Check My New 08 NightTrain

Just bought my first Harley.&nbsp\\;Was torn between Nightster, Nightrod Special, NightTrain (I see a trend there .

The Nightster was very fun but I was concerned that I might tire of it as my only bike.&nbsp\\; The Nightrod Special is a beast without doubt.&nbsp\\;However I've had Italian and Jap sportbikes and wanted the true Harley experience.&nbsp\\; I guess the Rod seemed too smooth if you will.

But this NightTrain is nasty.&nbsp\\;Stage 1 Vance &amp\\; Hines, lowered, grips, pegs, mirrors, rear disc wheel.&nbsp\\;Now, I need to find best source for cool front wheel and pop off sissybar!

Also, the dealer had already installed chrome skull grips, pegs, shifter, mirrors.&nbsp\\; I'm thinking I should have them install the original black stuff and apply the $6-700 credit for other stuff.&nbsp\\;Any suggestions?
&nbsp\\;

Hello,
You made the right choice with the NT.&nbsp\\; I knew the dealer you were at as soon as I saw the pictures.
