Hey guys. I recently bought an 08 crossbones. I love the bike right now, but I could think of some things I would like to change. The bars are mini apes, and I'm thinking of changing them. I think I'd like to change the seat from the springer style to a regular, possibly newer seat. And changing the headlight from the 5 3/4 in to 7 in. Looking for suggestions, advice, tips, and tricks learned.

I appreciate the help in advance.

 

Congrats
Nice ride!!!
Nothing like a springer

 

thanks

 

Crossbones is a sweet bike. Making it your own is part of the fun.

 

Your bike looks a lot like mine when I got it but it now looks a little different. PM if you want any details

 

Crossbones are cool. I like the smaller headlight with springers, just swap it out for a black quality LED projector. I like LEDs all around.

La Pera Silhouette seat is what I'm looking at for my Softail.

I love the Crossbones/Slim dash, best Harley has ever put out, I'll put one on my Lo if I can ever find one. Smoothing out the center of your tank and losing the leather looks clean.

My thoughts for what they're worth.

different strokes for different folks, lots of nice photos in the crossbones threads

 

how do you like that seat on yours? That's about what I'm looking for. I like to sit down into the bike a bit.

 

I have the day maker headlight in now. But I have found that if you have a 7 in housing for your headlight, you can instal a jeep led headlight which will put any day maker to shame apparently. I do like the idea of getting a black led day maker though. If I can't make the transition, then I'll probably go for that.

 

how do you like those hangers? I'm contemplating doing something like that, but then again, I may not have to if I switch the seat out. And I dig the all black on yours man. I'm fighting with myself to do that or not, but I am going to throw some "brass" pieces on mine.
