Hey, how does your dress fit?

They don't have a Night Train. They took down my information just in case they get one in stock.

Here is one for 8,100 on ebay, I bet it jumps up within the next day.

Another 08 sold at the buy-it-now price of 13,500 a few days ago.

Thanks Bro. Just take your time. Buy the best bike that you can afford and then plan out the mods to fit your budget and needs. I've been adding to this bike for two years and I'm still not done.

If you were looking at the Softail Slim, and wanted a thinner front end, then you are also looking at Nighttrains, take a look at the Softail Blackline. It's kind of like a cross between the two.

Seems like the desire for the Blackline stopped when the Slim came out.

The Black Line isn't bad at all, I just don't like where the speedo is at and would prefer the tank mounted console.
I've read that the speedo needs relocated even for some after-market bar swaps.
I'm not really a fan of mounting the speedo off to the side like we do with the Sportsters.
Everything is fixable with money, of course.

Black Pharaoh has a sweet Blackline; not much nastier than a 'Train tho'....
