Looks great, good job!
I was at my local dealer over the weekend and took a Blackline out for a test ride. I really liked it except for the bars, IMO they are screaming for a handlebar change.
Im usually not a big fan of any of the non FL Softails. I always though that if I did not go with a FL Softail and I did not want a Touring Bike Id go with a Dyna. But I really liked the Blackline. It was a good fit for me at 6' 3" and for the price a good deal with a lot of room for mods.

I do like the bike, it's just a bit lite that's all. Maybe because I have an FLST and a FLHT already I guess.

XJayx What seat is that you have on there? I have just purchased my all black Blackline and will be picking it up from the shop tomorrow. I had exhaust intake and HD came out with a set of reduced reach handlebars for it. I was riding it fairly locked out in the elbows so had to get something closer. I like that seat but couldnt place what it was.

Hello Jay
I love what you've done so far !
I own a Blackline and you inspire me a lot !
Do you have the reference number of your lepera solo seat ? What the change of position you've noticed compared to original seat?
I'm in the process of making some new bar as well, I will go for a little shorter ape though.

Nice job, bike looks great. I just bought a blackline a few weeks ago. I need to make a few payments before I can start to customize. Keep up the good work, looking foward to seeing more blacklines out there.
