Congrats on the new Night Train, funny thing is I'm thinking of getting a Night Train myself. It's either that or getting a wide glide front end for the Sporty. I'm waiting until next spring or early summer as our riding season is coming to a close soon. Enjoy the new ride and keep us posted on how you like it compared to the Sporty.

I almost bought a Night Train but it was just a bit too stretched for me. I'm 5'11 with just over a 30" inseam and a bad neck, haha. Not such a good combo for that bike. But, seriously, congrats on one BA bike.

MJStephens, Im also 5' 11" with 3 bulged disks in my back. I put 140 miles on my train today and feel fine. Little trick I think helps me Is I run a stock softail standard seat. Little more cushion on the ole rear end.
