2011 Harley Davidson Blackline

This is my new 2011 Harley Davidson Blackline! Awesome bike! Got rid of a few stock items such as the seat, pipes and air breather.

I put on the Harley solo seat, Vance & Hines short shots, big sucker air breather, side mount license plate.

You have to ask yourself what do you consider a long ride? I live in Orlando and ride to Daytona all the time. It's about a 2 hour ride and I'm ready to stretch my legs when I get there. The seat looks great and feels fine for my normal around town rides. It's not as comfortable as maybe a Corbin seat but it's also about how it looks to me. Obviously my recommendation is go for it and don't look back!

@Chevy - the spring seat takes a little getting use to but if feels nice...after you break it in. It took a little getting use to it because it doesn't have as much padding as the stock but now I'm very happy I switched over!

@411 - the bobber seat lowers it slightly but nothing really noticeable.

No cutting at all! All you have to do is remove the fender bolts and the plate assembly nearly falls right out.

I find it interesting that Harley riders are known for their embrace of individuality and passion for the HD brand. Except this guy who thinks it's cool to badmouth a fellow riders bike because they didn't conform to his way of thinking by purchasing the same bike he has. So much for the Harley owners free spirit image.

@FMAStudent - enjoy! It gets better once you break it in! Don't plan a long trip after you install it!

@TheBrindleBoxer - actually I've only scraped the pegs once. I guess I'm not riding it like I stole it enough!

@cturner2 I just bought my very 1st bike and im 49 yrs old, I went with the Blackline, because when I sat on it, it just melted around me, perfect fit (im 5"7) I made a very excelent choice, put 1000 miles on it in 15 days.

@jmc1ace First of all, one of the best Blackline mods i have see so far nice work!. I noticed in your initial comments you said you used the Harley Solo Seat, what seat frame pan (bolting into the rear fender and covering up the guts and battery) did you use?

Beautiful bike. I should have mine delivered in a few days. I wanted to go with the springer seat (I have a similar one on my RE bobber), yet at the HD shop everyone kept telling me "don't get it, it is not comfortable!" So, I ordered the seat from the softail slim... but now I am having second thoughts! Weigh in on the comfort of this seat!? Do you take it on long rides? If yes, how do you like it??? Much appreciated... and ride safe!

@jmc1ace

Sweet setup you done there, I picked up by blackline 5 days after selling my crossbones for this :)

How does the bobber seat compare to the stock? especially for long rides, do you recommend it over the stock seat?

[411sel]
