Default I Finally Got One, a Crossbones!

I've wanted a Crossbones for a long time now. So when my buddy decided to thin his herd and sell his 08, I jumped at the chance. Stage 2 and only 42,000 km (26,000 miles) and extremely well cared for. I'm one happy fat man. I did take off the rear passenger floorboards as they wont be needed, and I would like to find an original seat for her. But for now I'm just gonna enjoy her.

They're not the best, not the fastest, not the most comfortable.... but damn, they are just too cool. Any Springer is just too cool...

Congrats, you'll love it...!!

But I AM biased....

Congrats on your new ride,one caveat with the original seat is you sit up high on it . I took mine off to sit lower and back, to each their own .
