Default New guy from NC

Recently got me a new (to me) 08 Crossbones, she has been heavily modified though by the previous owner. Hoping to learn more about it as i get used to it, coming from a Ducati Superbike.

Welcome to the forum from Texas.

Fixed it for you. Are you sure your bike started out life as a Crossbones? If that was a Crossbones, I'd agree it's been heavily modified. The hallmark of the Crossbones is a springer front end. The front fender is not stock either. It looks more like a modified Deluxe or Heritage. Nonetheless, nice bike. Enjoy and ride safe.

She definitely started as a Crossbones, the previous owner didn't like the springer front end so he swapped it, new front fender, new rear end, bigger rear tire, LED's all around, custom seat, and powder coated almost everything flat black. She was blue to begin with according to the title. Not sure what the deal was with the pictures, for some reason they attached upside down...

I like those bags, do they wobble when the bike is running?

I have not had any issues with them wobbling or vibrating at all
