I think most of the softails need the stock seat replaced in order to be comfy for more than an hour or so. The night train is an awesome choice....almost got one myself.

Hi back again

For the moment I have only this one but is not very good. As soon as the rain stops here I will take more pictures and post them here.

Get the Night Train and never look back... My only regret is that I didnt buy one 10 years ago. As for how it rides, I love the drag bars, seat is good for about an hour, but then I just take a break. My roomate has an 02 dyna, and I love the way mine feels like im actually riding the bike, and not the bike riding me.

Hi back again, here are the pictures I took today of the 120 tire between the fender. I hope you find them good:

Hi MAX EVO

No mods in suspension or fender. If you look at the pictures I posted, note that my wheel is a Thunderstar 21"

The full part number of the tire is: 120/70-21M/CTL 62V ME880F MARATHON - LINK HERE

I absolutely love mine. I've made her "my own" as most people do. I can ride all day in all sorts of weather. I rode the Tail of the Dragon on her. I LOVE the blacked out look that is so different from the majority of chromed out Harleys out there (not that there is anything wrong with gobs of chrome: I was originally going to get a Softail Custom, but the model had been discontinued when I bought my Train in 2005 - and now I am REALLY glad it was, heheheh...). I really like the fact that she's different from the herd.

I constantly get compliments on her too!

Cheers!

I've ridden Night Trains, perhaps with the right seat and 3" forward foot controls it would be a nice option (I'm 6'3").

It is a bad-*** bike.

Best regards.
