CALLING ALL CROSSBONES OWNERS!!
I've got a great deal on a Crossbones and love the look of the bike.
I would really appreciate some feed back from Crossbones owners before taking the plunge:
1. How is it on the highway?
2. How about suspension and seating position are they comfortable on a long ride?
Any suggestions or must-have mods would be appreciated also....
Thanks!!

i love my bones...i did the big bore engine kit (103), plus alto of other stuff...i add a link to my photobucket. i have been on a 280 mile ride and a 200 mile ride thus far and have no complaints on comfort...other than the windshield is a must, especially if you like to travel upwards of 75 mph. i just added it before my 200 mile ride and made all the difference in the world. it's a great bike, what kind of deal can you get?

There's no way you'd regret making the deal... The riding position is very comfortable. More so than any other bike I've ever sat on or ridden.. There is plenty of power stock, and the thing handles suprisingly well.. If you like the way it looks, that's all you need know. Everything else will be a nice suprise.. Get it..

You wont regret getting the bones, Ive had a lowering kit but on mine and changed the springs for 2" custom ones, and it still rides sweet, I feel in the bike other than on top of it as I did before when it was standard, its was like sitting on a Road king before I had the mods done, I have had a heritage for 4 years so getting used to rideing with out a screen, don't really want to put one on the Bones, but might go for a Wind Vest later, mate of mine uses a bag on the Handlebars on long journeys and he reckons its enough to break the wind up off your chest

however, I had my first "on the street" sighting yesterday. one of the finest looking blondes, sans helmet, riding on I-35 just north of San Antonio.

WhiteGuy I have hadonly lowered the rear end, used a white bro kit, had to drop the swingarm out to get it in, the bike handles fine, it seems to handle better than my old Heritage, alot easier to move at slow speeds, with a smaller turning circle when trying to get it in and out of the garage
