Need opinions on '08 Night Train

I'm looking at buying a 2008 Night Train and was wondering if I could get some opinions......good, bad, in between, pros, cons, whatever. Looking for input from people who have one or have ridden one. Thanks in advance.

I have an 09 Night Train and I LOVE IT! If you're on the shorter side the ride may be a bit of a reach for you. I'm 5'10 and it feels just about right. The ride is smooth and doesn't get uncomfortable during long rides. I'd say go for it!

Is that the pullback risers that are shown in the H-D catalog? I was curious about those but they said it decreased the reach 5 1/2 inches. That seemed a little drastic and I'd feel like the bar would be in my chest!

I have an 06, as long as you have a good back you will love it. My back is a little messed up from jumping out of airplanes for 18 years. I just installed the Harley street slammers instead of the dragger bars and everything is great now!
Great over all bike.

Have an '08. Love it. Add some chrome or black out everything, either way, you'll be satisfied.
