i sold my '99 RoadKing to get this bike, and i knew there would obviously be a difference in ride,
the RoadKing is argueably the most comforatable bike in the world,
but this softail with a springer front end (neither known for the best of rides) mixed with a sprung seat is really awesome
i'm lovin' it

 

who said a springer isn't known for a great riding bike.....Dead wrong

Have fun with it.

 

Congrats on your new scoot! Let me be the first to welcome you to the growing family of XBones owners!May the modding begin!

 

I think the Springer front end is a little stiff, but that's probably just in comparison to how cushy my *** has it with the X-Bones [sm=Awwww.gif]

 

Congrats & welcome-have fun on your new ride!

 

thanks for the welcome,

and i didn't really say that the springer wasn't a 'great' ride, just that it might not be the 'best' ride,
shox have advanced a long way since tossing a couple springs up front, but i am still a springer fanatic,
i have a '95 springer and a '63 pan with a springer front end, and now this CrossBones,
i guess you could say i'm sold on them,
i have to sell the '95 but still the same i think they are great

thats why i was sayin that the difference between a springer with and without a sprung seat is interesting

 

You are going to enjoy the XBones. Every where I stop people come over to check it out. Right now they are far and few in between since I was told that each dealer only got an allotment of 3 this year.

 

Sarge ... not sure you noticed but you seat springs need some pumping up ....
BTW - looking fwd to seeing some serious mods in the coming year , I really like the xbones and shame that my budget doesn;t stretch to a 2nd bike.

 

I think you made a good move. I picked up my boner on Saturday just in time for the rain to start[:@]but I also am very impressed with the ride. On longish sweeping bends it seems to hold a line much better and is much steadier than my Dyna was (07 Bob).

I can't wait for a bit more free time to enjoy it.

All the best
