Default Lowered NT and Liking It
The dealer lowered the rear 1-12” on my 09 NT Friday.
Big difference in looks for that small of a move.

Received a custom stock seat from a member of this HD Forum today.

It had been cut down foam added, that brought back and me down a little more.
Everything worked out just right for a chance.

The reflectors and rear pegs and mounts also have been removed, no riders for me.

Stock Night Train handlebars looked good but didn’t work for me.
The handlebars are the same ones as the Softail Custom.

the handlebars off a Softail Custom whatever they are did, so comfort won.

Mini apes are a good plan on a Train.

Have you considered rotating those bars foward at all or are they just too derned comfy in the laid back and take in the sights position?

Congrats. To me, ALL NT's should be lowered. The bike just lends itself to it.

The bars are great and personally I think apes are a must for a 21" front.
