@DJM owns one, and I’m sure will chime in.
From the few I’ve come across, all have been bullet proof. I almost bought one from a friend in New Brunswick that upgraded the suspension and the common performance areas such as a power commander and exhaust. A 2003 model that travelled across Canada and looped the US down the Pacific Coast and returned home up the east coast with some stops in between. He loved the bike, he maintained or replaced wear items like the drive belt, fluid changes, rubber etc. Until he injured his back at work and made the switch to a Road King.
The 2016 Nightrod I took out had the 240 rear and I didn’t notice any issues with turning. Found it downright playful compared to the Dyna Low Rider S or Breakout.
As with most bikes, the hobby funds are allocated to comfort, personal looks or performance.
It’s on my radar in the future when the right deal comes along I can’t say no to and the wife endorses.
Winter can have an effect on a rider’s mind. Never know what happens come spring. Lol.
Oh, I’ve heard of some issues related to the alarm but, that typically gets sorted early by the dealer.
