Default blackline bars on night train

So before I bought my 09 train, I test rode a blackline and really liked the split narrow bars. I was curious to see if anyone has thought or done something to see if they would fit on a night train. If you have or have a pair of blackline bars for sale lmk I might see if it will work.

Just FYI before you do this..the Blackline handlebars are key notched at the bottom of them to only allow 1 way for them to go on the triples. You would have to either shave the notch or notch where they bolt in to get them to mount flush against the triples. If you decide u want to buy a set of bars..i have a set that i took off mine to put the 4" pull backs on it. Ill take a couple pictures of the stock ones tonight when I get home so you can see what I am talking about

sounds good man, just shoot me an email at heneisend@gmail.com

ill look into them, just think it would be a nice change of pace and could look pretty good, standing 6'6" doesnt make pullbacks too comfy. lol

spacing on the trees are different also. 6 1/2" on blackline and 3 1/2" on the train. That would make the bars 3" narrower.
