Harley-Davidson 1340 NIGHT TRAIN FXSTB 1998

A lighthouse has just come on, a few moments after a howl that tore the night apart. It’s John, re-starting his new Harley after he smashes his voice – he had to yell hard. Him, the biker, the tough one, the bouncer of Macumba Night in Puy-du-fou, he cannot digest to have left the twin in its French legal configuration. It is sworn, tomorrow, it releases the American mechanics. John, he likes windmills that speak loudly and have muscle; a bit like him. And when he saw the new Night Train at his friend Alphonse the H-D dealership, he immediately fell in love. Simple, unadorned, deep, black like its leather and intimidating like its smile, the FXSTB wowed John. “With her, I will immediately impose respect in front of the box”. Already that we did not piss him off the John when he looked at you from the top of his 2 meters, with his new machine, we will consider him by looking down. Thus, we will stealthily take a look at the big twin 1340 covered in black to the end of the fins..
Appeared in 98, the Night Train is the most affordable Softail, but that’s not what John liked. The Milwaukee machine seduced him with its stripped side. Once in the saddle, our bouncer who speaks like Darth Vader really looks mean. Feet in front of the engine, ass resting on a tough saddle, the pilot will look for the mini handlebars which brings his arms closer to each other. When riding, with this uncompromising driving position, John looks like a Bad Boy and never misses a chance to get noticed. His machine has a taste for it.

What annoys, it is the homologation which chokes the 1340. The gas mixture which passes in the unique Keihin carburettor does not allow to evolve quietly with a barely turned handle. It will be necessary to disassemble the exhausts and adjust the carburetion to obtain the strength and the temperament of the mill. Afterwards, it will be necessary to deal with the turns. The front end is not a precision model and the braking is nothing special either. John doesn’t drive like his buddy in GSX-R anyway. It cruises maxi at 120-130 km / h; beyond that, the turbulence of the wind no longer makes him laugh.
After the visit to Alphonse, our biker planned to show off a big bang in front of the parking lot of the club where the people are starting to arrive. Not sure that people are massing right outside the door tonight…
