Default Bare bones

For those that have installed a LXE 007 on a Blackline. What mods were needed and does it rub anywhere. Lepera said this seat does not fit the Blackline properly. Thanks

If that's a seat for a regular softail, then the issue is most likely at the front of the seat. On the older softies, the seat went right up to the tank, the blackline seat sets back an inch or so. When I installed the blackline dash on my train, I had to cut and rework the rear mounting tab on the panel, it didn't work with the my seat. Not sure that's the reason, but it's my best guess.

Have you seen the new Bare Bones that they have designed for the Blackline and Slim? Call LePera and ask for a catalog; the new seat looks great.
