Default Blackline Pics/Info

Looked at a Blackline today and loved it. Personally, I'd want more chrome on it. Anyway, I'm getting my bike next month sometime. I'd posted earlier about getting a Fatty, posted on the Sportster forum (decided I liked the price, but I'm going with a softail). Now just wanting some info on the Blackline. I'm trying to explore all options before I make my final decision

Welcome to the Forums Bengalman,

Not an easy task as it all depends on your taste

Let the bike choose you

All the bikes have limitless things you can do thanks to custom parts, I sold my Crossbones and was going for a deluxe but walked out with a Blackline and love the machine with no regrets.

Thanks man. I really like the look of the blackline, I haven't rode one yet, but they look amazing. The only thing is I love chrome, seems backwards to buy a blackline to chrome, but hey, I dig chrome lol. After my MSF course on the 11th, I should be ready to buy one, and I seriously can't wait!

the blackline can be a bit misleading due to the bars...and different bars can make a world of difference (with pretty much any bike) i got used to mine but i am getting others very soon...and after that probably another pair :-)

other than that i agree with blackline5007, let the bike choose you

I am loving the look of the Blackline, just need to get my MSF course in and take it out for a test drive and such. May sound like a dumb question, but say I want to move my speedometer, is that possible and stuff? lol

Here's mine.....I've added a 1.5 inch tank lift since these three pictures were taken. It's also dropped 2 inches in the *** end.

I have a Todd's cycle new top tree, and am planning on new bars soon, but honestly since changing the seat I don't mind the stock bars....gives me more time to think my new ones through..
