Your bike looks great!

 

First of all thanks guys for all your comments and feedback I really appreciate them, so keep them coming

Now let me see is I can answer all the Questions in one GO!

Q: 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?

A: Well, after seeing another members Blackline here with a wide rear, it made me think now that looks really Bad A$$. The overall look also really makes any bike really POP. Credit goes to XJAYX for sharing his Blackline with us all, which also helped inspire me to reach where I am today. Plus not to forget all the other amazing great guys here that helped me too with posting their feedback and so forth. This place is truly amazing when it comes to people and source of information.

Q: 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

A: LOL well, I got some great new's brother They are no longer on my Blackline and are now on my garage wall. Well 1 is as the other one snapped I agree they had to go go go I was just lazy at the time, so I have updated that free mod in the picture attached

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.

Finding a theme or shall I say choosing a them is quite a challenge, especially when vendors are out of stock or parts are back-ordered. Example the only reason I have a SE air-cleaner on at the moment, is because the RSD design I wanted is not available on any of the sites I purchase from.

As for the Grips, Rider pegs, Brake pedal. The same dilemma either the pegs are available and the other parts are back-ordered, or the other way round. So for now HD had to do until I find that right set available

Thanks Bro, I am nearly finished with the videos as I have had some requests to post various videos of my bike so nearly finished and should have them uploaded within this week. Again thanks to all the members here that helped me along the way, as you may know the Blackline is not a favorite for a lot off the showroom floor But so are other bikes out there it's all about taste and the final outcome thanks to the world of custom

Q: 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.

A: Honesty, if your going for 12", then just go for the Heritage stock cables as they would be perfect for size and save you lots of $$$ . Its only when you go above 13" you will need to get custom cables until Harley get the cable issue resolved, which by the way till date I do not understand

Great news and don't forget



So I would love to see the pictures of your Blackline once completed

I hope I have answered all questions raised
I have also attached the pictures of my Upper ABS Brake-line that seems to be a hot topic and debate for the ABS equipped Softy at the moment. I did not change the lower, as you can see from the Pictures and only changed the upper from Magnum.

Bike looks awesome man! I bought my Night Train a few months ago and have been ordering new parts like they're going out of style. After I get them all in this week I'll be a happy camper.

 

U will love the rsd's..that what i have

 

Hey man,

First off nice looking sled.

Second, just wondering about what you did with the handle bar nuts(the ones securing the bars to the triple tree). Did you replace them with new ones or reuse the old ones? Just asking since the service manual says they are one time use nuts and are 18 bux a pop here in the Great White North.

Cheers,

 

Thanks

I re-used the stock ones with no issues.
