Yes, that came to mind from the Allman Brothers. Also "After Midnight", which I'm not a huge fan, but I thought the cheeky reference to drag racing had merit.
Since it's going to have a fade paint job, "Fade To Black" also came to mind. Don't know if the minister will know the Metallica reference.

*EDIT* I just looked it up, and Huffy actually marketed a muscle bike in the 1970's named Midnight Rider. I guess there's nothing new under the sun, LOL

The goat bars and skull caps reminded me of something, I'm thinking most probably don't know about Baphomet. Google "Baphomet" for a definition.
I looked it up. I'm getting away from the Grim Reaper for the minister. What do you think Baphomet would do to him?

I'm pretty sure Baphomet would be one of the last things a preacher would want his bike or anything else named after. C'mon people.

Well, Baphomet was a goat with a human body, like goat handle bars and skull caps, just a thought, you know like the Grim Reaper was a thought being kicked around. I like Minister personally. For what it's worth, my 2¢.
Goat bars, skull caps, matte black bicycle...
Volcano Goat?
Referring to the mountain goats and the black lava stones?
Or a more 'stolen' name like:
Black Pearl
Blackbeard (goats have beards)
This is fun lads

"Joan Jet and the Black bikes"
I'm a fan of the 80s turbo Dodge themed movie "The Wraith" and think that name would suit this bike well. 
And Iverson of course made the Dragstripper, maybe since this is a Rail a little play on words could be a DragRIPper

From the thesaurus, The Shadow Jet. From a black Angus cow we had, Licorice, a black and tan dog I had, Ebony.
Ok, I appreciate all the good names that have been suggested. This thread should be kept for prosperity. You are free to use any of the suggestions, save one:
After Midnight. It's simple. It's "punny". It's non-offensive. It's not necessarily a theme, so I have some design ideas to muddle through, but I'll get through that in it's own new thread.
Again... thank you one and all for your suggestions! You made this a lot harder than I thought it would be with your good ideas!

This has gained new ground. I think I my brain was overwhelmed when you first said this. @JNOACK said this to me last night, and it hit different. I threw the idea at the client. We'll see if a 3rd name change is in the works.
Was trying to think of something that hinted at darkness without having a negative connotation and couldn't think of anything then I though "Holy Roller" then thought Holy Smoke could work.
