good luck with the bike! i've had mine for about 2 weeks now and have already put about 500 miles on it, i love the ride quality. i'm already starting with mods, exhaust first then bars then lowering kit then........ the list keeps going. good luck

I like both seats. But the aftermarket seat flows with the bike better.
Both look great..very different riding positions too.

I sat on one at the dealer and thought the original
seat was very comfortable for a stock Harley seat.

I think I like the new seat better.
I can't get over the rear fender that is what kills the bike for me...and the fat front tire.
Otherwise I like the cross bones.

Flash, from what I have seen and been told, any pipe that fits a softtail should work on the Crossbones. I have seen Rhineharts, Yaffe, and V&H's so far on the Crossbones with no problems.

I have beentrying to pick asecond bike for city riding (once the first one is paid off) and fell in love with the Cross Bones the first time I saw it on the internet. Had a chance to see the real deal yesterday for the first and was very surprised todiscover how wide it was. While sitting on it and standing the bike up I had a hard time keeping my leg from touching the primary. Not a problem I have with my Electra Glide and seems like that would gethot at a stop light. Anyone of you folks who have one have that problem? I'm about 5'9" so not sure if the problem is my short legs.

Stock seat adds to the old school look.New seat is more modern,and pretty much is a blacked out 08 Springer with apes.Both look good,but I think the stock seat adds more to the look the bike was aiming for.
