Thanks for the responces. I just need to remember how to change out the tank since it's EFI, it's been 5 years since I putit on!

It's kind of a long story why I'm getting into another scooter, my wife rode her own (Sporty) until we decided to move. She decided that the pot holes, gravel and traffic thrown at her all at once was too much for her. We sold her bike because of the move and other reasons as well. I was going to keep my Night Train until we went for a day ride (250 miles). She told me her a$$ was so sore that I needed to buy a new seat. I didn't want to ruin the look of my scooter by putting a big seat on it. Well, winter came along so the drive to set up the Night Train piddled out.

Two weeks ago we decided to go to the local Harley dealer in the new town we moved into. We didn't expect to buy anything, we were just boredom shopping because it was snowing like a blizzard outside. I looked at a few bikes on the show room floor. I really like the Street Glide (for a bagger) but wasn't hooked on it yet because the color didn't do anything for me (flat blue). My wife asked if they have any different colors (I kind of just rolled my eyes). The dealer did have different colors in another area in the building. That is when I say the 105th colors..... That was it, that is all it took. The deal was done before I even knew it!

The bike is still at the dealers waiting for new parts.... the bike was the easy part, dressing it up is the hard part!
