Default New Blackline owner

So I did it, I bought the Blackline I saw the only on my dealership had and I loved it so I took it home that day. Did some mods to it already and have more planed for the future.

So far ive done
Vance and hines big radius exhaust
Big city thunder thunder monsters
SE heavy breather intake
SE super tuner pro
Progressive lowering kit front and back
side mount plate holder with LED
narrow tail light mounts
smoke front lenses
replaced the front fender
Performance machine grips and pegs
HD black shifter and brake pedal
Le Pera bare bones gel seat

Planning on doing a set of contrast cut performance machine wheels
and a 240 tire kit from heartland. Im still deciding on what to do with the handle bars any input would be appreciated.

Jay

first day home boy was I not expecting to buy another bike. Had to squeeze it in next to my chopper that I built a few years ago.

Heres a couple mods on ill get some up to date photos up soon

rode it from the dealership back to my shop, everyone was surprised

here it is right before I bought it.

sorry fella , but its not a bike i like , my local dealer has it in plane black , but each to there own , it does look different though , its only the skinny front wheel and those clip on bars kill it for me , but i love the paint on that one , its a fantastic colour , that tank would look really nice on my vivid black fat bob , can the bars be changed to a conventional set ?, if so , it would look like a night train , which is a much cooler looking bike , IMHO . enjoy your ride and stay safe , its a lovely feeling buying a new bike though , congrats

Nobody looks at the one our dealer has especially when its 500 bucks more than a more well equiped bike sitting next to it.

Looks good, I like the shiny black engine components (derby, tranny, rocker covers). They should have done the timing cover. Would be interested in seeing what you do with those handlebars. Keep the pics coming...
