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
