RE: 2006 Night Rod

I dunno... I still have problems with this line. The styling just doesn't make it for me. I agree though that sooner or later HD will have to make the switch to this motor over the old air cooled ones. Hopefully they'll set it up so it runs like the air cooled motors and you don't have to crank the rev's up to beyond 7K just to get some horse power...

RE: 2006 Night Rod

I tried one out , the foot pegs are about as cheesy as it gets/ also the distance between the peg and shifter is so small , if you wear a size 7 shoe maybe you can shift it. But it hauls *** and really handles well.

KOBY The pegs are painted black your foot will rub the paint off / the rubber is thin and small / they look like cheap rear passenger pegs the old english bikes all used .

I went and sat on one at the dealer yesterday, it's a really nice bike(not my style). The problem I noticed with it is the foot contols. The foot pegs need to go back a few more inches. In there current location I was unable to get my toe between the foot peg and shift lever.
