Default Blackline Bar Swapout - Complete
Finally finished the Blackline Bar swapout tonight and took a ride in the California mist to try out. I'm pleased with the look and the comfort of the more upright riding position. It CAN be done....here are some pics.


Thanks to John at Hartail Choppers for the bars. Love them! www.hardtailchoppers.com

Thanks to Jose at Guerrilla Cables for going above and beyond. www.guerrillacables.com

Thanks to Maria at Magnum Shielding, second time is a charm! www.magnumshielding.com

Very nice. Why did you decide to keep the turn signals on the bars?
That was the perfect time to relocate them.
