Greetings,

The local dealer sold their first one real quick and are trying to get more now. The guy that bought it really likes it, but is planning on doing a wide glide side mount license plate bracket for it to clean up the fender. It's an interesting bike...I'm curious to see how it goes over.

My question is why they call it the blackline but leave a bunch of chrome on it. Seems kind of half as* for something that is called the blackline shouldn't it be all black or at least mostly. I mean it's got chrome pipes for crying out loud

Maybe for the black strip that replaces the console?

The chrome pipes will be replaced with black Samsons ...

I was at a dealer last week and have to say even upclose I'm just not a fan of it, looks like they went to the parts shelf and built a bike out of what they found. The speedo thing just not a keeper for me
