Hello- I have an 08 night train that i am doing some work too. Im adding a long rear strutless fender, spoke rear wheel to match front, new visor headlight, Matt Hotch 13 inch bars, new seat (had to make custom one because of fender) and a tank stretch. My question is...I already have the chrome harley console. I dont think it will look good w/ the stretch. Console is straight across where it meets seat and stretch tank part is now curved. Was thinking of cutting it and smoothing edge right under the ignition switch. Anyone else have a stretched tank that did console alteration?





attached bike pic after 1st round of mods, bars will look sorta similiar to ones on there now.


this is my chopper, RIP!, I am matching this exact fender on night train (strutless)

 

can't help you with your tank question. but i'm love that other bike you used to have. what happened to it man?

 

sorry no advice about your question but am impressed by your bike

 

Well, it looked great but was cursed from day 1! it was an american ironhorse tejas then I changed it a bit. Day 1, pull out of shop, go 2 miles and run out of gas! Then another few miles forward control peg came off! Myrtle Beach friend went for a ride, crashed it and I re built again. after many issues, things falling off, break downs, it had a mysterious fire! Actually, my battery tender clip came off, set a spark which ignited battery gases. then carb caught, followed by motor. Repaired again after fire, almost $2000, but traded it after for night train.

 

sorry no help. that train looks bad azz already. that stretch is gonna look killa.

 

holy cow. that thing was cursed. sorry to hear that man. i would of called ironhorse and been really pissed. i know their choppers are expensive, you would think they would be good quality.

 

i didnt even get into the main problems! 2x the petcock started leaking all over th legs (that sounds funny), 2 belts in 1800 miles broken, headlight blown out from vibration, tail light bulbs blown several times from vibration, problem with carb not letting gas pass through in forst few hundred miles....to name a few. at time of fire, only 1800 miles on bike!

 

wow, did they refund you any money at all???? wow, it's good to know about this, i was always attracted to that brand of choppers. i'm staying away from them now.

 

Thats why their out of biz. Much easier to mod a harley they stay together. As far as the stretched tank.

 

Lundee- good looking tank and the console looks good on there also.

Here is a few updated pics-
