A Big Boy Toy - 2008 Harley Davidson Night Train

A toy for the “Big Boys”, this is what I tell my friends when they see me riding around on my HD. It has been a while since I’ve written anything about my motorcycle project or information on any new modifications added on to my ride. So, I’ve decided to create this small video to [...]

My Night Train Project Part 1

Posted on September 18th, 2008 by Nixon in Motorcycle Project

I just met Brandon over at Todd’s Cycle in Hungtington Beach, California regarding my new parts and accessories for my 2008 Harley Davdison Night Train. He called me a few days ago and wanted me to come on in to check out their progress and see what they have been working on. It has only been like a few days since I dropped off my bike and I was surprised to see how my motorcycle was turning out after that short time period. The Phatail kit, front and rear break discs, front and rear rims, and pulley from Performance Machine along with RSD’s struts and fender made a huge difference on the look of my motorcycle.

After so many months, I can finally see some major progress on my Night Train project. From my previous post “The Long Awaited Parts from Performance Machine“, I’ve indicated that I was waiting on some key parts from the manufacturer and was getting upset due to the time factor.

After actually seeing the changes on the motorcycle with these new parts from Performance Machine, I would have to say the wait was well worth it. Also, while having my motorcycle on the lift I had Brandon installed some new matching foot pegs, brand new foward control, and a new shift lever made from Battistinis. With these new extra parts added on to my ride, I believe it helped create a unique distinct bad boy image that I wanted. The funny thing about this, is that, I am still far away from completion and the money portion of this project is dampering my wallet. Talk about major “ouch”.

Nevertheless, ride safe and I will keep everyone posted regarding my Night Train project.

I like the blog, a little too much about you bike, we get it you have a Harley. (j/k) Looks great good luck with it and I’ll be checking it as much as I can.

@Roger:
Thanks for the comment Roger. As far for heading out to ACH, I may participate but it really depends if I am able to finish up with some extra stuff on my ride by then.

Always make plans to get something what you want. Who knows it may sooner than you think. =)
