  • Harley guys --- question.

    At the moment I have a Suzuki Intruder. I will be selling it at the end of this season, and looking for something bigger. The Intruder is a fantastic bike, but I really need something that suits my size. I've been looking at the different models, and I'm pretty sure I want a Softail (is that one word?) but what model? My singer has a Night Train, and It's a gorgeous bike, but there's something about it that I don't like so much. I can't put my finger on it. I really like the look of the Deuce, and I think that's what I'm gonna go for. Does anyone know what the difference is between the Duece and the Night Train is? Is it just the tank, or does it have a different frame too?

    Same frame .. different accent parts.. Stretched tanks, different rear fender, different seat, different handlebars..

    All softails have the same frame..they are called softails because they are designed to look like a hard tail but the shock is hidden under the bike...if you look at the dyna's you'll note a rear set of shecks on the back sides of the bike ...

      I'm looking too since the ZRX1200R is tough on my 36 inseam. My bud has a new softtail but he told me the Road King would fit my legs better. I sat on both and the RK was a better fit indeed!

          Buy a Victory instead. More american parts and less maintenance.

              Not sure how big you are, but...take a look at the Fat Boy. My fav HD. I'm hoping to get one within the next few years...hopefully.

                Oh, yeah, I know the Dynas and Lowriders have the shocks on the side, and the softails have the concealed shock. I just thought maybe the frame was stretched on the deuce. I see they also have different fender struts. Yeah, I'm pretty much sold on the Deuce. I like the Street Bob too, but I don't like the handlebars on it. I'm going to have to do some test riding in a month or so.

                  I don't really like the look of the Fatboys too much. A bit too heavy looking.
