Default Blackline Handlebar Ideas
Ok, so I am getting ready to swap my handlebars, but wanted to see if anyone knew of any other options.
This thread could be a great resource for Blackline owners.
I will list all the places I have found, and if anyone else comes up with anything, I will add it to the list.



Todds Cycle
Two styles of bars, as well as a Top Tree Replacement

Hardtail Choppers
Multiple Styles Of Bars and Risers that will fit the stock trees.
(I believe they will also make pretty much anything you want.)

BR's Custom
Three styles of bars (will also do custom)

Burleigh Bars
Three styles of bars

Nash Motorcycle Company
These are kits to relocate the speedo.

If you can stand the cost, go with Bill at BR. I have a set on my FB Lo and they are some of the best quality bars I have seen. The biggest plus is he will customize the measurements to your exact specification so they fit you.

Here is another option, but I am unsure how these brackets work, and the links are dead. Does anyone know anything about these?

Love my BR sweepers. A little steep on the price but quality is nice. Also add a couple weeks to the time frame they give you.

Looks to me like more or less of a speedometer relocation kit?

Yeah, I think one of them moves the speedo forward, and maybe the other is meant to mount to the rocker box?

One moves the speedo forward like on a sporty so the bars will clear if you run short risers and adapters. The other relocates the speedo to your left foot peg. I used the foot mount and Wasn't thrilled with the bracket and i had to "fix it" and kinda made it work, but NMC made it right. Excellent customer service... Bracket not so much lol.

Here's a pic. Keep in mind this ISN'T how it came. This has been reworked quite a bit lol... But it's what I came up with to make use of it and i mounted it in A different spot so I could still get to my oil filter.

Then what are the spacers in that picture for? Do those go into the trees so you can then use standard type risers?
