Think mini apes would look pretty cool on a Blackline. Congrats on the bike.

I just got one about a month and a half ago. I have to admit its my first motorcycle. I love the way it behave on the road. I have no problem whatsoever handling the bike. But I am barely 5'6" and I am stretching a little too much. It get painfull when the trips get a little longer. The technicians at Harley of Naples, Fl dont know much about the particulars of the blackline yet. They got one and only spent 4 hours in the building before I bought it. 3 hours later they got the fax they were not to sell the bike but use it to show it and get orders. TOO LATE! I was thinking raiser with a straight bar of Apes. But not sure if that its going to work. The split dragbars are mounted kind of far from each other to make space for the speedo. I might go for the reach seat. I am trying not to because it cost more than the bars.

It seems they are going for the 60's old school look. With the skinny tires, narrow apes would prob not look out of place.

Going to be cool to see some mods going on the new Blacklines to see what they look like after a few mods.
