I love the idea of dropping the bike. Soooo, how do I do that? Also, does the front need to be dropped? I need to find a 2 piece 2-up seat so I can ride solo and take the little lady out. I need something comfy for her too. What seat offers the right combo?

Reflectors coming off ASAP.

To take off reflectors, use some fishing line or get them off instead of a screwdriver or whatever tool closest to you like some of may have done..hmmn, did I do that? lol

Congrats and welcome to the HD family. Did it come with the quick detach sissybar? It has the hardware on it for one. If you don't have it I would look into one for the lady friend on back. It will give you both a lot more room. I love the Gas caps I have tose on my fatboy too!!

First off, I'm glad you didn't get the Fury. You'll get comments about your night train everywhere you go (I know I do). You'd get a lot of questions about the Fury, but in a very different kind of way...

How about some pics of the LEDs in the dark? Kinda wondered how those things would look on a train, since there's not a lof of chrome for them to shine off of.

I do like the chrome fork sliders... different from the black fork slider route many take.

Tri-Bar LED taillight: Nice.

I think the chrome on the swingarm is out of place. I'd PC the rear axle covers black, lose the chome insert, and replace the swingarm bolt covers with black swingarm bolt covers.

That's what I think. But nice move on the Night Train. You won't regret it.

I too think that a glossy black Night Train is one of the most beautiful things on earth. But, I also think that you should immediately rip of the neon light strips and either attach them to your house around Christmas time or throw them in the trash. Great looking bike tho!

I agree, personally I can not stand neon lights they are very "American Thunder" to me. The only lights you will see coming from my scoot are the flames coming out of the exhaust when I come off the throttle.
Just my
