Well, guys.. Started taking the financial plunge into re-creating my 2004 Night Train. Here is what I've got on order as of today:

- Smoked turn signals lenses - 15$ (Ebay)
- Picked up a Fatboy rear fender off of Craigslist - 150$
- Samson Longtails - 33" with removable baffles & tips - 773$ (Ebay)
- 18" 1 1/4" Chubby Apes on 1.5" risers - Had in the garage.
- Burly Cable/Wire kit - 169$ (Ebay)

Here's what's left:
- Tombstone tail light - anyone know where I can get one to cover up the hole from the stock tail light in the Fatboy fender, or will I have to weld this shut?
- 18" Rear/21" Front fat spoke (unsure whether to go with DNA, RW, or Ultima) Black rims with stainless spokes and black hubs. Maybe white walls?
- Softail Deluxe style front fender without trim or trim holes.
- Paint (already got my quote - 600$, just have to decide on colors. Either a black metallic with gray metallic or Black with Blue metallic). What do you think?
- Powdercoat certain items black.
- If I don't like the FXST front end with the Deluxe front fender, I'll be looking for a Fatboy front end.
- SOMEDAY, a set of shotgun shocks..

I'm going for a 1950's class with a somewhat blacked out "Al Capone Gangster" flair.... Let me know what you guys think. And, as always.. I'll be posting pictures along the way.

P.S. Keep the shiny side up...

I'm sorry, but we're gonna need some 'before' pictures to hold us over. We's a visual bunch...

Sounds like a nice build, keep us posted!

 

Good luck on the project, Kizz. Keep us posted.

Black Pharoah: How's the rehab coming? Hope you're healing fast. How you liking the new ride??

 

Sounds sick on paper! I have always wanted to see a set of black fishtails on a Train.

- Since you asked -- black metallic with gray metallic



Black P - glad you changed your avatar pic haha. I couldn't stand lookin at the Maryln Manson + BP - reject child anymore lmao ~cheers~

 

All good my man... Thx for asking, bro. Ride is tuff.

 

LOL - gotta tell the wife about that combo.

 

I'm not sure if I am going to have the Samson's powdercoated or not.. I'm going to wait to powder everything until after I get it painted and together to see what all I want to finish up with the coating.. I'm leaning towards it, but we will see....

And, for those of you that wanted a before pic, here is the day I brought it home:



And, a pre fit of the apes to measure for cables:
