Default Nightrain

A lot of people on here seem to want Harleys to bring back the n/train,just curious, if they did what if anything would you change on it?personately a couple of extra degrees on the front wouldnt go a miss,and although i quite like the rear fender i always think Harleys make them longer than they need to be, so a shorter version or maybe a Heartlands type would do it for me.

I loved my train the day I picked it up, I have done a few things here and there ( exhaust, pc, bags, ) the necessary stuff, but I think hd did an amazing job from the get go on the train, i like the rake how it came, and some people don't like the rear fender, im a big fan lol.

Lower the rear suspension, give me the option for different (black spoke) wheels, black out the turn signals and the rear tail light. Thats the minor stuff.

Make a CVO version with a 110, black out everything and sell it for 20k. They would sell the sh*t out of that.

Black lower fork sliders and maybe a bigger motor would be nice.

Basically the first things I did to mine minus the spokes. Just ordered a new set the other day bc I dislike them so much I prefer to take care of a blacked out bike over a chrome one.

Inverted black front end (like in the catalog) with 34 degrees of rake and dual disks. Oh, and alot more black. Also, have the frame matte black like the Fat Boy Lo.
