Night Train seats: check which side of 2006 yours falls

The Night Train's black engine covers and narrow front wheel stayed familiar when the rear end changed. For 2006, Harley fitted a wider rear tyre and mudguard, and the seat fitment changed with them. A listing that simply says Softail or Night Train is not enough: the earlier Sundowner and later Sundowner have different part numbers.

These are the listed ranges for those seats, not UK production dates. The picker also includes a 1999 FXSTB, but neither Sundowner above covers it. The FXSTBI page includes 2006 bikes too; its earlier seat listing stops at 2005, so do not carry that fitment into the following year.

Keep the low line, or give the passenger more seat

The Badlander keeps the low, close-fitting profile; the Sundowner adds a dished rider position and a wider passenger section. For a 2000–2005 FXSTB, compare Badlander 52292-00A with Sundowner 51764-06. For a 2006–2009 FXSTB, the equivalent choice is Badlander 51397-06A or Sundowner 51468-06A.

A two-up seat still needs the bike's passenger footpegs and an appropriate grab strap. The Sundowners include their strap and mounting hardware; retain or refit the passenger pegs if the bike has been stripped for solo use. The Softail Standard guide uses these same two older seat families, but its modern seats and HoldFast hardware belong to a different generation.

Heat at the rear cylinder: a later-bike option

For a 2008–2009 FXSTB, mid-frame deflectors 29200008A sit beside the rear cylinder and redirect moving air away from the rider. The pair comes with mounting hardware. Their listing starts at 2008; it is not an all-years Night Train accessory. Check the mid-frame deflector kit against your year before adding it.
