2004 Harley-Davidson FXSTB/I Softail Night Train

FXSTB/I Softail® Night Train® Model Overview
Harley riders have always had a special place in their heart for the color black. The black-on-black Night Train® model has a profile that pushes the limit. Sink deep into the depths of its low custom seat. Settle in behind the stainless drag bars on top of six-inch risers, and a wide raked fork straddling a 21-inch laced wheel. Stretch your legs to the forward-mounted foot controls. The hefty, one-piece tank is settled over the bike’s Twin Cam 88B™ engine, which is blacked out, using wrinkle black finishes. No other Harley-Davidson® model puts the rider in the aggressive “clamshell” position quite like the Night Train. When you want to make a statement, no one ever said it would be easy.
