Default Train Vs. Rocker C?

I am throwing around the idea of getting a Night Train or a Rocker C. Just curious what reasons some of you may have to sway me one way or the other? Love the trains but I know that this will be something that will take some work to get it where I want it. I know that rocker will take a bit too but I am curious if there are some pitfalls to this bike. Anyways, any input is appreciated.

I'm a Train owner and don't care for the Rocker so I say Train. But I suppose a lot depends on exactly what you are planning to do with either of them to get them where you want them.

I'm a rocker owner & like the fat rear rubber. Both are great bikes & discontinued.

you will enjoy which ever one you go with.

Good luck

If you like the Train and want a Rocker, get a FXCW not the FXCWC.
Save yourself a bunch money replacing the chrome with PC'd parts like a few have done on this forum.

I have a FXSTC and wondered WTH was the big deal about the Train, Take a FXST and dip it in black.

Look through the Train and Rocker picture threads. It might help you decide.

I like the NT personally, but with the right mods, the Rocker can look good too./

Thanks for the advice on the links. I guess what I have been thinking that if I get a train I would black it out just like my FXDF is and if I got the rocker it would probably be chromed. I say there would be more on the Train because I would black out EVERYTHING vs. were the rocker it would probably just be exhaust, intake, PC, and grips w/pegs. I say that now but who knows

Both are great bikes, I like them both. There are some killer Rocks on here as well as some Killer 'Trains. You like apples or oranges

Love both of these bikes but if I had to buy one id get the rocker, and a heartland fender kit the next day thats a must for the rocker IMO. All depends on your style though I like the wide tire bikes.

I'm kinda lucky, I have both

I will say the train is getting a lot more use that the rock

Do you have a vision of what YOUR bike will look like?
Answer that question & work back from there

Cheers
