Default finally started to mod my Blackline
I got my first Harley back in Oct. Last 2 weeks have been chilly and wet in Fla so I got around to learning how to turn wrenches on my own bike. Picked up a FSM and a way I went.
Put on my strip bars, 2" tank lift, relocated my front signals, pegs, added my swing arm and tool bag, solo seat, relocated my plate to the axle, lowered the rear 2" and wrapped my pipes that came on the bike.
This was just a start as I didn't want to have a corner full of parts to put on like my car!

First picture is the day I brought it home.

How it sits as of last night.

Nicely done! Not a fan of apes, but those bars are much better than the stockers.

The Slim seat looks lean and mean on that Blackline. Nice job.

Blackline is such a cool bike. I see its fit in a certain niche and really everyone wishes they could afford that niche. Great mods! Enjoy my friend!

Cheers!
