Thanks Mike. I can't seem to decide between the Deluxe or the Night Train. I've already spoken to the dealer and have been through the financial background checks. I just can't decide. I've been told that the Deluxe would be a better ride because of the bigger front tire and I love the old school looks, but the Night Train is a bad bike I've been wanting for several years. Can anyone that has ridden both tell me the differences in ride quality?

Hello and welcome from OKLAHOMA ! You found th right site for knowledge! Lotsa good info to be found here! Looking at softails huh? They both have about the same ride in my opinion, Ive riden 100's of softails after working on them. They are a great bike. You just gotta decide the look/style of what you want. I ride a roadking and LOVE it....have put down over 150k miles on my last 2 roadkings and my wife rides a StreetBob ( FXDBI model) has a shock stye rear suspension and she loves it as well. Good luck on your decision!
