Why Buy New?While deployed in Afghanistan, Paul Highland was thinking about selling his '99 Night Train and getting a new bike. When he had any free time, Paul was reading HOT BIKE, looking for a style of bike he liked. With over a year of time on his hands, the more he looked, the more he got an idea for what he wanted. When Paul was back in the States and home, he made up his mind to do a makeover on his ride. After some time with the wife, he was on a new mission and could be found in the garage at all hours of the night. A few months later, this is what you see. We just wish we could have seen a before shot, but nonetheless, the bike looks good.

My GlideBill Middleton has had a few Harleys in the past, but this one is the bike of all bikes, he said. The motorcycle used to be owned by his father-in-law, and when he decided to sell it, Bill was there to buy it. Once he bought the bike, he started adding things, and little by little he finally had the bike for him. Bill swapped out the cams and added a gear drive, had the inner fairing painted, took out the H-D stock radio and put in a CD player and new speakers. He also found the D&D 2-into-1 and was happy with the sound and power. Bill also added more chrome, put a lowering kit on the rear, and went with spoke wheels. Too bad, Dad...it's mine now!
