Hey Bro, What PRimary are you running? I have open primary, jockey shift, and pegs on my "welcome home from deployment buy list". I was looking at BDL but I want 3" and Primo was the only one I could find in 3". Would also like to pick your brain on your chain drive. Bike looks killer. Thanks

Bdl ss2. Check out story 808. He's running a 3" bdl. I like the 2" just for the fact it sits in board more for lean angle. Chain drive is a Baker .900 offset counter shaft with a 51 tooth rear &530 o ring chain. Need any help let me know.

When I got my Night Train it was lowered. I scraped the frame on way to many corners to be comfortable. These bikes look great lowered, but I had to raise mine back to stock height.

Guys, my bike has changed leaps and bounds since those pics. I have added a shot gun shock, placed 4 passing lights on the front of the bike, when have you seen that? A custom 3rd brake light made in the 1940's, new mirrors, new foot boards, new rear tire, replaced the spark plug wires, new 1950's speedo, new grips,new headlight visor( art deco looking), 1940's license plate topper, crash bars in the rear, etc...the list goes on and I am not finished.

The handle bars are Chubby Wild one bars...

Are they the WO550 (beach bars)? The way people turn them throws me off as they look different all of the time. What bars are on the bike next to yours? You need to post up some more pics of all those mods!!
