Thunderbike Nightline • Harley-Davidson Night Train Umbau

At a glance: Harley Pure

Since Harley-Davidson put the Milwauee Eight on the road, we've hardly had a Twin Cam model in front of our lens. But we don't want to deprive you of this Night Train!

It’s a Harley straight out of a picture book: stretched forks, forward-mounted pegs & a sloping silhouette. A real bad boy bike.

The dark look that comes naturally with the Night Train is fully exploited here and complemented with chrome highlights. Our Spoke Wheels in becolour cut are the most eye-catching part.

The wheel dimensions have remained close to the original, 21 inches at the front and we have increased the wheel size from 16 to 18 inches at the rear.

The two-tone design with the black rim dish makes the wheels look even bigger and sets off the aluminium spokes perfectly. For the perfect look, the brake discs and the Pulley brake system are also in the Spoke design. And the chrome screws also set cool accents.

Who still knows the original rear end? It looked a bit like Scrooge McDuck’s rear end. That was disposed of, of course. Instead, our Steel rear fender was used. It blends in perfectly with the overall appearance and leaves nothing to be desired thanks to the framed turn signals and tail light.

Our front and rear lowering kits give the bike a crouched stance. The coolest identifying features of the Nighttrain remain original. The long, narrow fork, the drag bar with the long pullback risers and the big tank with the fat dash.

A very cool bike!
