Hey man nice bike. I have a dyna lowrider right now that I have lowered 1 1/2" and I have forwards on it. I can flat foot it fine now, but before I lowered it I couldnt quite sit with my feet flat without shoes (moving it in garage bare foot). I want a night train but Im worried about the seat height. Im 5'6", if I lowered a night train 2" do you think I would be able to sit on it flat footed? Im just afraid I may be to short. What do you think? Thanks!!
@apflesk No. I could have but I just stayed with the factory drilled holes. I think you have a range of a few inches above the factory drilled holes to make new ones for the BCT baffles. No big deal when you tune it.
@apflesk BCT has a specific size for the Big Radius pipes. I don't have the model number anymore, but it will be eas to find. The people at BCT will help.
@nabuL1337 No, not even close. Much lower, but I'm actually selling it now for $17,000. That bad ass horse gets maybe 2 good rides a year. Not enough to justify it just sitting in my garage. Time to sell it and work on a new one in a few years as a new project.
@mikej069 The heat shield was beginning to rust at the seam, (from being under a carport), so I got the shields powder coated flat black. That didn't work well after the paint began to lift so I just decided to wrap it for function and for look. Sorry for the really late reply.
The thing runs fine. I'll move it when I get a sissy bar, but long rides are good. Actually, on the cold rides, a warmer engine was great at stops. The oil has always been a good color.
i noticed that you back wheel is black did you get that powdercoated or painted ?? and if you got it powdercoated what color black is that i want to do the same to my 07 fxst thanks
It's powdercoated gloss black, (the only color my mechanic offered). It's holding very well. I paid about $45.00 to get the single tire done. Was I ripped off, I don't think so. Certainly don't pay more though.
I never thought of changing them. That's actually a good idea. I'm planning on adding a 36" sissy bar, (70's style), sometime in the next couple months. I might just look at adding better signal covers if any interest me.
Real sweet looking bike bro.... I just got a 2009 and looking at a few different ideas for upgrades... I really like what you did with yours.. Good luck with it.
Looks great man, I got an 08 Im working on bit by bit. Whered you get the side mount license plate and how much did that springer end cost? Also, if you want to paint stuff liek your exhaust, get a rattle can of engine paint, it will handle the heat.
Dude your taste in bikes is pretty close to mine which is totally sick I love the mods but you totally need to check out my struts .. nice work i look forward to seeing more..
I threw the BCT baffles in - you were right - the sound is incredible. No loss of torque and I have a bit more bark that I was looking for. Thanks again.
Thanks for the reply. Could you compare it to stock baffles? No baffles are a given, no power! Waht i'm getting from you is that you keep the sound of an unbaffled bike, with the power of stock baffles... is that about right? Look forward to the vid - thanks again.
I have the same pipes on an 07 Street Bob - stock baffles - I can hear a fairly good difference between with stock baffles and Big city Thunder baffles - Please let me know how much louder it actually is, and is there any loss of torque/HP between the stock and big citys?? Let me know - thinking of putting them on my bike - just wanted to know if it barks a bit louder than stock - but without the loss of power... thanks! Bike looks AMAZING btw, well done.
The difference in sound is enormous. When I had the baffles out I lost low end torque like you would expect and had a pop/backfire during deceleration that I thought sounded good. Probably not the best for performance but when I put the BCT baffles in, I kept all the thunder gurgle, lost the back fire and got back the low end performance, (much faster acceleration from a stop). I'll post a vid soon of how it sounds on the road.
Can't believe they stop making the Night Train. They need to bring it back.

The bars are 16" Gimps. They are narrow enough to fit the narrow glide front end of the bike. Anything wider and it wouldn't feel right.
