I don't think it gets much better than a completely blacked-out Night Train...

Greetings,

I've rode both bikes (and owned a Night Train before I got my Rocker C) and the Night Train is definitely the one for me. For whatever reason, the Fatbob just didn't fit me as good as the Night Train. I'm 5'11", 162lbs. So, if I were choosing, it'd be another Night Train.

it is a hard choice for me to make, but looks like the train is going to be more fun on a long run,looks like the train is more mods friendly than the bob....
