Ok, you guys have got to help me help out my friend. I am usually on the dyna forum but I am once again looking for softail help. See, a friend of ours was looking to buy a rocker. Ended up not liking the price so he went with this beautiful night train. It's an 05 with paint scheme 10 out of 200.
My first question is does anyone on here have this paint? It is awesome.
Next question? This bike is a 6 speed. I didn't believe him. The specs say 5 speeed and I just didn't believe this friend - one of those jokesters. How is this possible? Does anyone know the background on this bike? It was a repo so there is no infomation on the owner.
The last and strangest question is - this bike is loud as hell and sounds amazing but it does not shake. My bob shakes, hubby's SG shakes, every HD I know of, at least the engine shakes. This bike is running and I am sitting next to it and the engine never moves at all.
I am just dying to know what could have been done to this bike. It runs amazing. According to dealer, has dealer download but that is all they know of. Hoping your guesses are going to be better than mine.
I know this is a lot to ask and a bit lengthy. Try not to give me too many obnoxious, sarcastic answers. It's been a long, hard day.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

 

Twin Cam B found in all of the softails doesn't shake like the Twin Cam A in the dyna and the Street glide..

If it truly has a 6 speed it was put in after the fact...It's been done...

 

Like he said......somebody probly changed out the 5 speed for the 6....have thought about it myself....reason it does'nt shake (also,he said^^) TwinCam B motor,has counterbalancers(weigh about 12 lbs)and the motor is rigid mount'd to the frame.....all the other bikes ,motor is "rubber mounted" and thats why you see the shake....far as loud? those pipes,probly is...may also have a fuel manager of some sort(PowerCommander,etc)....some are mount'd to the bike,some are not....dealer downloads are canned MAP's, and marginal,but ever once in a while, they'll load somethin' that'll work .....far as the paint number'd scheme(s)......fairly common with Harley on some models for a particular model yr.................

 

The absense of any motor movement just seems so strange. I mean, it is not just my dyna. We ride with other softtails - our other friends have fatboys and a custom - and their motors move. Maybe not as much as my bob but they definitely move. This motor doesn't move at all.
It just seems so weird.
I told him they painted over the HONDA name on the tank.

 

What year softails?

Neither my 02 or my 03 move..

My 97 EVO, everything shakes......the thing is a blender....lol

 

put some hefty cams in it (.600_.650 lift) do some headwork, and it'll move ........trust me...........

 

I guess as a dyna rider I might miss the shake and movement a little bit my I am really jealous. He can sit in a parking lot and his mirrors don't move at all. Like I said earlier, our other friend has 2005 fatboy and his bike vibrates and his mirrors shake like mine does - not quite as badly but they move. I just thought maybe there was some sort of something that could have been done mechanically done to make this bike so smooth. I sure didn't think this was just a softtail thing.
Now I am jealous.

 

Counterbalance'd,dude-ette...."B" designates it a balanced motor,internal....1 forward and 1 aft of the crank,chain driven.......if look'n at it run'n makes ya jealous......ya probably don' wanna ride it.......just say'n.....

 

No, I'm definietly driving it - tomorrow. Hope my husband is ready for a new purchase!!

 

Thats the 96B motor. Sounds the same, but doesn't shake. The pipes look like Vance and Hines big radius 2 into 2 pipes. They are pretty common now.
