Default update: my Night train upgrades

Well, I picked up a 07 night train about 4 months ago and started to upgrade it.....

when I got it it was bone stock except for the wheel upgrade package harley offers.

I started by tearing up the front end & powder coating black same color as the frame. got rid of the fender tabs while I was at it. had a machinest do it.
when I got the parts back, I put RSD bars on it with internal wiring and 1" chrome risers & PM grips with Magnum Black Pearl cables.

the pipes & air cleaner are RSD (Roland Sands)Whole other story......

I picked up a set of PM Gasser contrast cut wheels with all the trimmings
(rotors,pulleys,Metzler tires)

I also bought a Heartland USA License plate bracket that flips open & closed (ezpass)
the forward control pegs are kuryankyn, I added Radiantz LED turn to the front pegs (can't see them until I turn)

before upgrades





after upgrades









coming up this winter is new Tank, Rear fender and seat From RSD

Beautiful bike, I like what you've done to it. Handle bars are nice, they freak me out, but they're nice.

What else you plan on doing to it?

I'd like to see it when you're done. (IF you're ever done?) lol

Lookin' good. I am a fan of the pewter trains as well. Those cables look really long though. Doesn't it annoy you having them in front of your face?

I also agree that the rear end needs slammed and you neeed a solo seat IMHO.
