Operation Fat Train, round 1 pics
I posted a thread a couple weeks back saying I was going to mount a 16inch wheel on my Night Train and pair it with a 130 front tire. I also bought a Jesse James Steeler front fender and had it painted to match the stock black pearl. I lowered the rear about 1.5 inches with Progressive shocks and slammed the front 2 or 3 inches with a Progressive lowering kit as well. I have new Roland Sands bars on order to be installed next week.
It rides and handles real well, just a little front heavy in a parking lot, but not at all bad. The highway ride is way worth it.

Dude. That rocks. Can't wait to see pics. Do you still have the stock lines and cables or were they switched to put in those pullbacks? Just curious what I'm gonna need to order for the winter!

I am still stock on the cables at this time. I did order 06 wide glide cables for the new bars that are forth coming. Also the RSD Shortstacks came in today, I didnt think they were going to look good, so I sent them back and ordered the RSD glide bars that are meant for Road Kings and the touring bikes. The short stacks were way to narrow for all the fat-ness I got going on.
