Default Night Train question

I currently have a Custom on order.&nbsp\\; Im getting torn between that and the Night Train now. Im liking the blacked out look.&nbsp\\; One thing I likes about the custom though is the Apes.&nbsp\\; Anyone have Apes on a Night train, or opinions on how it will look?&nbsp\\; From what i can tell,&nbsp\\; they are very similar bikes, just different look.&nbsp\\; Any opinions between the two is appreciated.

if that doesn't convince you to switch to a train nothing will. no offense to softail "STANDARD" owners but there is no comparison it is called STANDARD for a reason
