I think it would look good too. I'll have to start ordering the parts I need.

In case anyone is ordering the Blackline console and parts from New Castle HD online, the back plate is on back order until 2/28. Found that out yesterday as well.

Interesting. This idea must really be catching on. The MoCo is probably scratching their heads trying to figure out why so many are replacing a part that should last nearly forever.

Yeah, you're probably right

Now they're carefully checking their books and comparing #s of blacklines they sold and #s of consoles

I have to believe they watch what parts are sold and numbers and such. And at some point think.. 'Oh yeah, that would have been a better idea'. Or maybe not.

IMHO they (HD) have someone whose job includes watching forums such as this and, no doubt, the dealers are a source for feedback too. "Easy Money".

Is there a way just to eliminate the tank "bib" altogether? Looks like it is there just to cover that wire. Can it be re-routed? I haven't taken mine off so I might be missing something obvious. If it could be done seems like one of you would have done it already ??

Look at the pictures in Harley Charleys thread. You would need to either do a bunch of custom work to the stock tank, or a whole new tank.
