Default Think I found the one...03 Night Train 100th

Hey everyone,
I have been going back and forth on the decision of which bike to get. I think I have found the one. It is a nice 03 Night Train 100th Fuel Injected.



However, I am going to make it like this...minus stripping the paint, keeping a front fender, keeping covers on, and a more comfortable single seat.




Is this style of conversion possible for this bike?

Thanks,

Rip

You'll have a tough time with a tank like that, unless you do a carb conversion.

But it is a nighttrain and everything with time and money is possible.

I don't think I'll change the tank. But do you think the back fender and other conversions will work to get the bike close to that look?

That bike from Hot Bike is a nighttrain... It probably has an air suspension that was dropped for the photo.. It may have to ride a little higher to account for the travel.. But it's all possible.

Go through the softail Pics section and check out some of the nighttrains that the guys have done on this forum.... Some are very close to that

If that is the bike you are buying, I like it. I like all the 100th anniversary bikes. I can't see the other picture though. The Night Train is a great bike, but I guess I am a little biased. I believe I even suggested it for you in your thread

Check out my thread here: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...-kit-pics.html


You can see my Train with 16'' apes, and the extensions you will need. At your height, I would suggest doing the extensions first. My bike came with factory extensions, and I added a 3 inch kit to it for a total of 6'' extended. Super comfortable now, and I can still ride it the way I want.

It is the bike and you are the one that did suggest it. Thanks much for the input. Do you have 180 or 160 back tire and fender? Could you im me some tips on the tire and fender installs from the stock that I have please? I am looking for a single seat fat back tire and fender similar to yours. I have a set of apes that I am looking at right now...

I can't see the picture of the bike you posted... The one you want yours to look like? A '03 has a 150 on the back and if you are going for a short fender setup I would tell you to go with a 2007 and up... But like I said I can't see the second pic?

Edit... Opps see it now... I remember seeing that bike in hotbike... it was like a revamped 04 or something. Still you would be better off starting with a 200 tire on the back and sve yourself a lot of work. 2006 has a 200 tire but a 88inch motor the 2007 and up has the 200 tire but also has a 96inch motor... Something to think about??? Good luck and happy hunting!
