If NT's were in production, It would have been a difficult choice between the BL and NT.

My cousin has a nasty train, slammed, '09 I think.

I just miss the FX. Blackline is the only one they still make and they don't offer any with a 200 anymore. Seems like harley is done with them, too bad too, I'm 100% FX. FL's aren't my style.

That's simple geometry, the bike leans, the tire still aplies a solid patern to the pavement.
The reason track bikes run 180+ tires on 600 and up bikes is simple... rubber
real estate making contact to the track. I could not even imagine it being possible to be buggering up a tire on any HD other than a Buell. IMO anything bigger than 160 would be for aesthetics but not for handling. Just sayin

Not sure if you can find that blackline style fender to fit a 200mm tire but should be easy finding some aftermarket stuff, or grabbing somehing off a softail from a few years ago.

I don't mind a different fender (wider) but i like the short chopper/bobber fender. I wan't it to look like it came with a 200 from the factory, but same style it has now, if that makes any sense to anybody. Not sure if it's translating out of my head properly

There isn't a "tail light" per se, the signals are the tail lights, and i like that because it keeps the fender clean looking, so i'll just keep those. I'll check into the RSD piece tho
