Hi Everyone,

I am new to this site. I would like to introduce myself. I have a 2008 Night Train with stage 1, SERT, Rush 2” slip on’s. I am in the military so when I am not running around doing you know…. I spend my time on two wheels as much as possible.

This was my 40th birthday gift to myself with a little help from the other half. It was my lifelong dream to have a Harley and now I do. After my first tour in Iraq when I came home I saw the Night Train and thought it was a bad *** looking bike. I feel lucky because after reading some of the threads others feel the same as
I do and they don’t make them any longer.

I would say I am mechanical when it comes to cars but not bikes so I am learning as I go. However, I know I am in good hands, after reading several post by the guys who knows their bikes.

I will be asking for help, advice, ect when need so please be patient with me.

Welcome and feel free to ask, as you need and use your search as well, because sometimes its already been dicussed. Get your year manual and parts manual as well. This is very resourceful as well.
