Hence you get to enjoy the savings of not having to dick around with the thang!!
You know its funny. If you go to the HD.com website and look up the 2009 model night train and go to the 360 degree viewer deal??
Well here see for yourself:http://www.harley-davidson.com/wcm/C...S#/model/fxstb
Now thats either photoshopped to the max or Moco went and fabbed up a set of shorty tubes for the bike in the marketing photos Cuz' Brother that thing is straight slammed!!

Them sneaky fvckers up at Harley marketing know whats up.
I wunner how many of the other bikes are cleverly modded or photoshopped to be nowhere near what the stocker looks like?
That particular one is just so blatant.
They didnt dick up this Custom though:http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US.../fxstc/gallery

"How quickly the fine folks here at HDF.com will foprget my failed attemp at doing some type of night train beach cruiser board track racer!
That was 8 hours of my life I'll never get back...Ever!"
Ha Ha Ha...I guess I did forget about that but I thought it was going to look good and the idea was sound, it just didn't turn out the way you hoped. You just have a real eye for aesthetics and how you want your chit to look. I'll stop the love in before peeps get the wrong idea LOL!!

Bike's looking killer Chaz. Nice stance!
I've always liked a stubby front end on a stock rake bike. On my black version I went 4 under tubes, FLHT progressive springs. White bike, 2 under tubes, same FLHT springs and I believe a .75" spacer (been a while). Anyhow I'm back to the 4 unders with the new look.

So what you see there in my sig pic is what you are describing. 2 under tubes, 2" progressive kit, lil' bit cut off the PVC pipe. Not so low as to be show bike silly and unridable. Actually more ridable as it handles so much better and makes the floppy Sloptail front end feel almost Dyna narrow glide tight. Emphasis on "Almost" LOL!
Nice!Really looks good!I gotta say Chaz,you really keep this forum interesting.Very informative and entertaining!
My day flies by dillicking around with you Hoodlums. Glad Y'all let me hang around!!
