Job well done bro. SO what difference you see with cam upgrade? is it worth it and when do they come in play early 2500 or so ?
Thanks So far I am done (For Now - hahahaha)
They are worth it, she is much smoother and when you roll that throttle open she pulls really nice. I notice the kick from about 2200 and most of all I love the way she sounds in idle
I will be posting a video soon for all who are interested to hear the pipes and new 204 cams.
First off, love the mods, however, don't limit yourself to stock parts, I did a screaming eagle AC and instead of an AC cover I placed my fave CD which makes it unique to your taste, also the blackline is based on a softail frame, so looking for parts should not be that hard.
Just picked up my 2011 Blackline 04 days ago from the showroom add would like to add it into the Blackline group, and share with you all the list of plans I have install for it.

Sick Shooter .45 Caliber Foot pegs

Screaming eagle stage 1 upgrade

Future List:

Custom Rear Fender (Still debating between 200 or 250 or keeping the current set up as its kind of growing on me )
Wide Rear Tire and New Rim (Going for thick spoked look once I find them)
Front Wheel and New Rim (Going for thick spoked look once I find them)

You have done some nice work to your bike! It looks great! But I can't believe after all of the work you have done that the reflectors are still on that bad boy!! c'mon bro
Why buy a BL, which is a bike meant to cater to the newer "skinny tire" trend and plan to put a 200-250 on it?
Just askin'.
i had that dilemma, but when I bought it, there were no NEW softails out that I liked over the lines of the blackline in stock form.I wanted a night train but, they dont make em anymore and I dont like buying used, too many bad experiences. So I went for it. but now the skinnyrear is growing on me.

5007 those bars look awesome!
I am going with the 12" ones from Todd's Cycle and am a little confused on which size of cables to order.
I will get the 12" wiring extension from Harley but for the brake/clutch/throttle what + size did you order for 16" rise bars.
I am thinking I can subtract maybe 3 or 4 inches from what you used for a 12" rise ape.
