i would like to improve the front end suspension as i ride hard and have to travel through rough curvy roads before i get to sorta smooth ones.
Hey.. I also ride a 2011 Blackline (or whatever is left of it.. lol) and I ride it aggressively... but damn.. that front end is unpredictable... I have not done anything to it.. but I wanted to let you know that I spoke with Progressive and they are planning on having a lowering kit for 2013 (I know you are not planning on lowering it.. but the guy said that the forks on the Blackline are different from the other softails and require further engineering and tests before the start marketing kits for the Blackline).. and well.. I believe the forks on the Blackline are too high.. :-)
