Not a fan at all, I thought it was one of the worst bikes HD has come up with in a while. Talking to salesmen they said they barely sell those compared to Wide Glides.
The Slackline is a bad replacement for the Nightain IMO-not cool at all. I mean why did they go back to the 150 reat tire over the 200 just to start and the rest is down hill from there.
I have to ask you guys some stupid questions. Someone mentioned an LED sifting from factory? Id like to go to some Joker Machine LED's and am curious as to if I need to buy the pack to convert or not. Also, this Blackline 2011 has a connector zip tied to the seat post that I'm clueless about and there is a wider one zip tired to the bottom of the frame. Can Anyone educate me?
The negative comments from the HD crowd are one of the largest reasons i bought a Blackline. I like my ride to look a bit different than every other one sitting in the parking lot. Its all about personal taste really. Some like the minimal look while others like to tool around on a their decked out road sofas.
As far as being a fad, I daresay the wide tires are more of a fad than anything else. As with most things, they've been overdone and taken to the limits of common sense once they hit the 240 mark.
