i have never ridden a bike with a stock springer, but a 12" over aftermarket springer sucks bad, it flexes evryway but up and down

They are the most cool thing to ever hold a front tire on a tire!

Plan on adding twenty minutes on your rides, because every where you go, people are going to stop you and want to chat about it!

I've got an 03 and an 08 so I guess you could say I like them. Slightly more maintenance but that's nothing compared to the style and cool factor. Smooth ride too.

I have a Deuce and an X Bonz. I prefer the ride of the bonz hands down. It is soooo much smoother.

I like the look of them too but are they really that good ?? and if they are why are they not on all bikes ?? I've heard rumours that they're an old design and ride stiff

Have been looking at the X Bones as a possible next bike,not had a chance for a trial ride on one yet so this thread is interesting
