OK...my idea was building my bike into a Night Train until I get my new tins from HD. I have a guy that will sell me his rear fender including the struts. So it would be a simple plug and play there. And front fenders are pretty easy to come by. I have a head light laying in the garage.....just me thinking out loud again..lol
I would not want to take my floor boards off or modify them in any way.
What do you guys think???

I think you could pull it off if it were well thought out. Don't just start putting on NT parts though or parts that look great on NT's. You've still got to work from the Fatboy angle, not as sleek and paired down of a look.

And for the front end....well a 250 Ford tore it off for me. So there is nothing to remove.

Ah, yes now I can put 2 + 2 together. I read some of your other posts. So are you putting an FX front fork on it then? In that case it wouldn't be much to really turn it into a Train for real. IMO if your doing the front end up anyway I would still take a different angle on it then your standard NT front end. Something that was 'NT inspired' would be a lot kooler and stand out in a crowd.

Sorry to hear about your bike. But I think boards would look good on a NT. However I think it'll take the right stance to pull it off on the long slender FX front end. Your bagged so you've got the rear taken care of. The front I would bring down at least 4" with a 21"and fenderless would be cool. Just my humble opinion.

As for the rear...looks like I am going to be getting a new compressor for the air ride too. Not working at all!

Im thinking of putting floor boards on my FXST, since I damaged my achillies I have trouble keeping my foot on the peg, I would have tried the stirrups but but I cant flex my heal. Any pic would be grear of a NT / FXSTC or FXST with floor boards on

Same here, I'm uncomfortable on boards.
