I like the retro look of the crossbones except for that spring seat. It seems like it would be bouncing you up and down on the road. Id definitly get an aftermarket seat if i got that bike

 

The stock seat is actually comfortable, there is no bouncing up and down.I changed mine out simply for the looks. I felt it looked to wide and out of place for the bob tail fender.

 

If that spring seat was alittle narrower it would look much better.

 

What Sarge4life said, no bounce just extra shock absorber for the pot holes, very comfotable seat.

 

I posted this in another thread, but it fits here too;

"Before you change that seat, spend some time in it. I really like it. I have spent 3 straight hours on my new crossbones a few times now and no butt burn. If you are just about riding around town I guess it doesn't matter. But if you plan on doing some trips you will be happy with it. I think it is the size, giving you lots of room to move around andthe springs. I live on Vancouver Island and it seems like we have nothing but tight, twisty roads with bad pavement - the bike works great andit sure does not feel like it weighs 700+ pounds. The reason I have done those long rides is that the time just flies by. I start out thinking I am going for an hour, next thing I know I am 2 hours into it and an hour from home. Love the bike."

 

I think the seat looks great on the bike. I would like to have one on my bike, but don't think it will fit with my PCIII being mounted on the ECU.

 

I thought it would be an odd seating position at first, but now have gotten used to it and like it. I do think I'll be cuttin it down for a slimmer look though.
The thing I would most like to change is the cheesy lookin panunder the seat.

 

I flipped the bracket between the seat and the springs upside down and put the seat position a little farther foreword now it feels more like im sitting into the seat rather than being pushed foreword, surprisingly its made a big difference

 

Have you any before and after pictures of the seat
