I've had a few different HD models over the years, but this is my first Softail. I traded my St. Glide in as it never got "toured" as I planned. I put more miles my rigid than I did the Glide. Sold my rigid and needed something that was like the rigid but more comfortable to ride. Saw this great looking Crossbones at my dealer 2 weeks ago before I went on vacation. I told myself if it was still there when I got back, I'd check it out. As you can tell, it was still there.
I plan on making a few changes to it, nothing too major, yet. It is so much more fun to ride than my Glide was, hell it's more fun than the Dyna or Sporty I had. Anyway, couple of pics. I have no idea who made the seat or the pad (need to research those).
