Both are Softails....but very different bikes. Ride each one. The Rocker looks great....but wait till you have light problems or want to add aftermarket items...not so easy. The blackline is going to be a great blank canvas from which to start your personal mods.

My experiences with my Rocker are all positive. I plan on keeping it until my son, now seven, works to own it. The stock seat, on my FXCW, is fine as far as comfort goes. You'll be getting a FXCW-C and may want to buy a stock FXCW seat on fleeBay. It is a cruiser, on the twisties you really have to push it over as the fat tire wants to stand straight up. Once you get use to the aggressive riding needed you will love it. It is my daily commuter and weekend get away, I love it.

So I continued my search for a solid used bike after taking a look at my finances.

I stumbled upon a 2005 Night Train with only 6800 miles. Went and checked it out yesterday and fell in love.

I'm headed home to get some cash and get my license and safety, hoping this bike will be there when I get back.

The main thing you will find with these rides is everything will say " fits everything but the rock and Blackline "

Which is why I'm happy to have found a Night Train. ;-)

Finally found my bike. 2005 Night Train Black Cherry, Vance and Hines pipes, and a few other things on it. Going to put a deposit down on it tomorrow and hopefully will bring it back with me on Wednesday or Thursday of this week.
