Blackline bar swap?
Saw on youtube a guy claiming he used standard harley risers and bars with the blackline top tree. He relocated the speedo housing as well. I'm just wondering if the width and holes are the same to allow standard risers to mount on the tree? I'm not a huge fan of the split bars, but I like how clean and simple the blackline is.

Its not that simple...The Blackline trees are notched.... so a standard riser would not go in and sit stable.. You could do so if u ground the notched portion round on the trees..then u run the risk of really messing it up. Here is a picture of the notched bar..the hole in the trees are notched so these will only go one way.

Have you got another link of the notched issue? By the way how are the bars on your blackline?
