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.

Question-

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.

Question

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.
