It would be the Train for me. The Blackline does nothing for me.
Since you are weighing both though, go with which ever you want more.

Thanks for the feedback so far.

For the NT votes, any idea on what a Heartland fender kit costs?
$2K-ballpark. I'm sure someone who has done it will chime in with a closer answer.

The Blackline can be a cool bike but it needs alot of help to get there. The NT was cool just the way it came from the factory.

Default 2004 Night Train for now

NT has a unique riding style, very nimble. I like the way it rolls through town slowly w/the subtle roar, yet always ready to respond to full throttle!
I am looking at a Fat Boy Lo for when I begin longerrrrrr excursions......
