2013 Harley Davidson Blackline Review and Specifications



2013 Harley Davidson Blackline

The Blackline is a Harley Davidson Softail pared to the bone. Visual elements of the original bobbed movement are combined with the raw, hand-hew style embraced by today’s young builders. Up front you’ll find the unique Split Drag handlebar and triple clamp-mounted speeds. Out back is a skinny, 144 mm rear tire and chopped fender. And in between rides a sleek fuel tank with low-profile fuel cap and trim panel, a retro round air-cleaner and a lower than- low 24-inch seat height. And, it all rides on top of a powerful Twin Cam 103B® engine. The Harley Davidson Blackline model gets all the details right without adding anything unnecessary, reflecting the true spirit of the long, black road.


The Harley Davidson Softail rear suspension mimics the clean lines of a vintage hard tail frame but offers the comfort of a modern suspension that is hidden under the chassis. The rigid power train allows tight packaging of the engine and frame and creates a solid connection between the rider and the power that moves the motorcycle.
• 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission
• Horseshoe oil tank
• Optional Harley Davidson Smart Security System with hands-free security fob

The 2013 Harley Davidson Blackline motorcycle's clean look, simplified profile, and defiant attitude embrace the pure essence of riding. The minimal tank graphics, split drag bars and narrow back end allow the Twin Cam 103 V-Twin engine and fuel tank to steal the show. The Harley Davidson Blackline model is a modern metal machine built for freedom seekers who just want to get on and go.

New for 2013, Hard Candy Custom paint is a large metal flake finish that’s more than just paint job, it’s a shining declaration of independence—bright, bold and unique. The 2013 Harley Davidson Softail Blackline is available in Hard Candy Coloma Gold Flake. Recalling the iconic rebel styling of ‘70s custom bikes, Hard Candy Custom™ paint marks another milestone in The Motor Company’s legacy of innovation. We start with several passes of 200 micron flake over a silver base, then clear coat it, hand-lay and mask the pattern and apply the Candy color to allow the flake to shine through. Then more clear coat and hand striping to a deep smooth finish. It’s a painstaking process that delivers a premium custom look straight from the factory, so you can start flying your colors with no waiting, no stripping or extra effort.
