Blackline question
Is the swing arm the same as the models with a 200 tire? Are the fender struts boltons? Could it be changed to a 200 with a different models rearend parts? Im in Afghanistan and ordered a Roadking but may want another softail instead.

yes it sure is, when i bought my BL the only thing i didnt like was the rear tire size. So before i bought i had the stealership check anf its the same part number as the crossbones, Basically everything from a crossbones or night train 200mm back end will fit, only thing you need is fender, struts wheel, tire, spacers.

Great info. Thats what I thought when I looked at it last. But wasn't sure. Now cant make up my mind on what I want to change my order to. Blackline is $15073 or a Streetbob or Superglide for $12708. Leaves more $$ for changes??

I found this vid on YouTube. Gino got back to me on the mods. Apparently he had the struts heated and stretched out, and the fender cut and widened, and that's pretty much it. Looks pretty good with a 200 out back. I might do the swap once my rubber band wears out.

" I put in the wheel of a cross bones and widened the fender.The only hard part was reforming the fender studs because I wanted to keep the look of the Blackline.The bike runs great,like any other softail with a 200 tyre.I did it just for the look
Everything fits the swingarm,you do not have to do changes ,just swap."

easy upgrade
I also talked to the parts guy at my Harley dealership, he's been doing mods for 25 plus years. He said all that needs to be done is change the fender, struts, and tire and rim. Then you have a 200 backend.
