2008 Harley-Davidson Night Train – Exile Cycles “Tough Train” by Russell Mitchell

For true Exile Cycles enthusiasts and fans of legendary fabricator Russell Mitchell, this is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind custom build.

This 2008 Harley-Davidson Night Train, known as the “Tough Train,” was custom-built by Russell Mitchell of Exile Cycles and has been featured in numerous chopper and custom motorcycle magazines. When originally built, the cost of this bike was approximately $65,000 reflecting the craftsmanship and detail that went into every element.

I am the second owner of this incredible machine and have thoroughly enjoyed owning and riding this rolling piece of motorcycle art. The time has come to pass it on to the next enthusiast who will appreciate what it is.

The bike features Exile’s signature styling, including a chiseled Exile logo in the gas tank, which is mounted Frisco-style to give it a true chopper attitude. The sheet metal carries a black patina finish, while the component parts are finished in satin black powder coat, giving the bike its aggressive and timeless look.

A jockey shift paired with a centrifugal clutch adds authentic chopper character—and makes the riding experience as unique as the bike itself.

If you know Exile Cycles, you know how rare it is to find one of these builds available. This is a chance to own a genuine Russell Mitchell creation.

Just a heads up also - I’ll be uploading additional photos of the Exile Tough Train tomorrow, along with a video on YouTube. I’ll also attempt to add my phone number back to the listing.

I’m very familiar with the process and will recognize immediately if something isn’t legitimate. I’ve been buying and selling motorcycles for over 30 years, so I expect a straightforward and respectful interaction - same in return.

This is a one-of-a-kind custom chopper. It’s still titled as a Harley-Davidson Softail Night Train, but built and customized by Russell Mitchell of Exile Cycles - something only he can do.

Serious inquiries only. Thank you.
