So, I'm buying my first Harley... an 05 Night train with just under 7k miles from a good friend. Any other Night train owners out there with any words of wisdom? Problems? Headaches?

 

Cam chain tensioners. That is the main issue on the 2000-2006 sotfails. It is unlikely at that mileage that they have been checked or changed but every once in a while you will find someone who put in gear drive cams.

 

pig spit is the best stuff for detailing the motor and all the wrinkle black. i just did my 03 night train with it and it probably looks better now than it did when it came off the show room floor

 

the trains are cool,if you go to 06 you get the 200 rear!

 

I've got an 05 standard. No major problems, knock on wood.

Dr. V are the gear drive better? How often are the cam chain tensioners supposed to be checked, replaced?

 

I have a 05 train 17,000 no probs... congrats on your new ride!

 

Got an 07 and Freakin Love It!! I'd cut the wife and truck loose before the bike! Ha ha ha

Seriously though, I would....
