Default Blackline owner needs help
Looking for some bars for my 2011 blackline. Have always had the stock bars but I hate them. Been looking for the pull back bars from harley but can't seem to find them. What kind of bars are all you proud blackline owners rocking.

couple of options:
-get a new todds cycles top triple tree so you can mount whatever bars you want (like I did and will install this weekend and let you know)
-got with todds cycles higher bars. still a 2 piece but higher
-get single risers and a wide bottom set of bars, like 5inch and rock them, but they will cover your speedo. if this makes sense
BUT do a search, theyre older thread on this, our bike is kinda the bastard red headed step children. not a ton of stuff but theres stuff out there.

I've been noticing the lack of options. I do really like my blackline but may just trade it in for something with more options.

with most options you will need longer cables. pricey, and a lil more if you have abs like me

Any kind of chopper pullback bars should work. Backline is nice for these because unlike us with gauges and indicator lights on our clamps, you don't have handlebar clamps to worry about. I'd go for an all in one street slammer with a lot of pullback.

the speedo is basically a sporty speedo but ive seen a relocation bracket to put it down by your shifter peg, which I think is weird but I bet you can mount it off the fork tube like the sporty guys do
