You can buy the Todd's bars direct for the Blackline, or you can buy this below and open up to a lot more handle bar options:

If you're on Facebook there is a Blackline specific group on there that usually sees a lot of traffic, those guys may have some good input also on which seats may help suit your needs!

Once you get the New top triple tree squared away, everything else other than forks and dash is pretty much softail slim. So any slim seats should fir just fine.

There are a lot of aftermarket options for the Blackline, don't get discouraged...take your time and read the forum here, search google...you'll be surprised.
There isn't anything you can't do to a Blackline that you can't do to any other Softail. The parts are there if you look.

The suggested Todd's Cycles triple tree is a great option as it allows you to keep the Speedo in the original position... I ride a Blackline.. but I am cheap.. so I drilled the top Triple Tree to accommodate a standard riser and then relocated the Speedo.. Mid-Controls? there are not many options.. Exile Cycles makes a bar that clamps to the bottom of the chassis and allows you to use standard Dyna mid controls hardware... but even then.. you will need to convert to Dyna Inner - outer Primary covers and associated hardware.. and adapt a brake cylinder .. it is doable.. but not cheap (unless you have a way to fabricate the parts).. I went that route with my Blackline.. but I fabricated everything myself as I was not willing to spend $2k in the conversion... I can provide more details if you are interested.. I hope this helps..
