I sat on one at the bike show today.
It looks better in person.
I like it.

I saw one today, too at the dealer. I think they look better in the picture! Looked "not quite done" to me... Most folks looking at it had the same impression.

Of course it's a stupid name. That's why everyone's callingit the "Boner".

They could have called it the soft-bones, oxymoronish, though. They have one down at Dumfries East Coast HD in VA, it is a nice looking bike - would look better with a wrap around rear fender, though.

I rode over to the dealer today to check it out. Loved it, except for that cheap piece of plastic under the seat. Couldn't they have come up with something better. I'm sure someone out there will come up with an alternative.

I saw it at the dealer today andI agree with the above poster. I thought it looked pretty damn nice except for that plastic crap under the seat. I didn't much care for the spring seat either but i could live with it if someone bought me the bike. [8D]

Nice bike, mojo... I love the bike, and have been trying to talk myself OUT of buying one, LOL... I also like your choice of pipe... that is one of the things I would change... along with that rear fender... it just doesn't look right on the bike, IMO... Still, though, I would love to have one... I just can't justify selling my rk custom (which is paid for) and having a bike payment...

nice bike, going to be an excellent bar hopper. iIf you are over six foot tall, it's not going to be the bike for you untill you loose the floorboards and put onforward controls.
