Ever since I saw pics of the crossbones, I thought it was a nice bike. Then I saw last week for the 1st time in real life...just plain awesome. So today, I put down a deposit on a vivid black crossbones and decided to sell my heritage here before I get back to the states. I will miss the heritage when it sells, but look forward to havingthe crossbones when I get back to the states. At least I won't be buying every frick'n chrome piece.

Congrats on the new ride, but I think instead of chrome, your going to be hunting for black parts.
The symptoms may change, but the disease goes on.

 

Hey Senior,

Congrats on the Bones! Ditto what Citoriplus said. I thought the same thing when I bought mine, but I havefound myself buying pipes, intake, TFI, 16" apes, cables, sissy bar, tail light, turn signals, side mount plate, seat.....the list goes on....

 

I am sure putting black parts on is addictive but it has to be alot cheaper. Go to Sears buy a powder coating oven and setup/ sandblaster and wala. You could powder coat everything even the Boys if that floats your boat.

 

There's a 'slight' flaw in your logic. I like to shoot, but buying factory ammo costs a ton.
So I reload my own ammo, and guess what. I shoot more, so it still costs a ton.
I just get to throw more lead downrange.
Like I said, the symptoms change, the disease remains the same.

 

SmSgt, you are making a good decision. The XBones is an awesome bike and the vivid black looks really good. I have just had mine two weeks and love it. Jerry

 

Sarge4Life, do you have any pics posted anywhere of your XBones. I would be interested in seeing your pipes and the other accessories installed. Jerry

 

the parts guy at the local hd dealer summed it up in 5 words "black is the new chrome"..congrats on the new purchase and come home soon
