  • Besides Can tensioner problem The bike is perfect

    By (I am a Writer) onMar 22, 2021

    I have on 5 Harley Davidson This was my 1st softail all the rest were either dynas or sportsters I also on a 2007 Street Bob That 1 time drifted off of the highway and another time drifted almost into all wall All I have to say about my softail is that thing Handles great You can throw that thing ... around all over the place as long as you leave the stock handlebars and risers on it or put something close to that style I spent a ton of Money Putting on 14"Chubby riserliss apes The bike went from handling like a sport bike to like handling a seventies Cadillac with old Shocks in it it doesn't turn Add all cornering totally sucks now I had to get used to writing a whole new bike Add all cornering totally sucks now I had to get used to writing a whole new bike I am now in the process of correcting the problem hopefully I've also Just finished doing 510 cams him plate oil pump bassini road rage 3 2 into 1 exhaust For front fearing Bill by reckless industries With infinity radio and Rockford fosgate 6 and a 1/2 speakers oil pressure Gauge all steel braided lines and a 21 by 3 and a 1/2 front wheel Let's just say it's Ben a very busy Winter Still haven't finished it when 100% so never got to see yet if the cornering problem is any better But as a stock Blake I Loved the bike the only reason I changed the cams is because of having to change the cam tensioners pads supposably every 30000 miles but I heard of bikes blowing up with 10000 because of them and was not taking that risk

  • Love My Train

    By (I am an Owner) onJun 22, 2011

    I purchased my Night Train with .7 miles on it in '05. I have put 56,000 miles on it since then. Besides a dirty spark plug (easy fix), I have never had a single issue with my bike. I have upgraded the motor with a 95 inch kit, S&S air intake, power commander, and Vance and Hines pipes. I have plenty ... of power and speed. I would like to have a 6 speed transmission and if you plan on doing any distance riding, the stock seat and handlebars have to be traded out. Otherwise, I LOVE my ride.

  • Great bike

    By (I am an Owner) onJul 01, 2009

    I've owned an '05 Night Train for several years. It's a great ride. Very comfortable. The bike is not common and sparks interest everywhere I take it. It's beautiful and with the V&H pipe, sets off car alarms when idling :-) I'm looking to buy an '09.
