Default Springer or Night train

I am still trying to figure out what im going to get.&nbsp\\; I have an idea of what I want in my head, but im trying to figure out whats the best way to get there.&nbsp\\; I really like the blacked out look of the night trains, but i also like the look of the springers.&nbsp\\; I was thinking to get a night train and put a springer front end on it.&nbsp\\; Then on the other hand i was thinking it might be cheaper to get a springer and just powder coat it and make it blacked out like a NT.&nbsp\\; My question i guess is what would be cheaper to do?&nbsp\\; Black out a springer like a NT?&nbsp\\; Or Put a springer front end on a NT.&nbsp\\; Thanks for your opinions

Find an older Springer Classic on ebay or Craigslist.&nbsp\\; Black front end and great look with nostalgic old school looks. Seems like many are for sale.........guys selling '06 and earlier to get newer bikes with 6 speed and bigger engines.&nbsp\\; Best bike H-D has&nbsp\\; ever done!&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

i guess what im trying to find out is how much would it be roughly to get chrome parts powder coated black? Cheaper then getting a springer put on a non springer bike?

If only you could combine the look of the two.&nbsp\\; I'd get the NT and put a black springer on it. The FXSTS has a lot of chrome on it.&nbsp\\; Better yet, find a good used Bad Boy, precurser to the NT with a factory black springer.
