Default 09 Cross Bones Ordered

Hello all,
&nbsp\\;
I'm fairly new to this site. Been looking around over the last few weeks. I finally ordered a Black Denim Cross Bones from my new local dealer in Cheltenham, England today. They have told me it will be delivered in September, but can't guarantee a date. I know it's only 5-6 weeks, but it'll seem a lifetime. Especially if we have some nice weather between now and then...
&nbsp\\;
I ordered a pillion seat, sissy bar and pad, rear footpegs and fitting kit and the Vance and Hines Short Shots staggered pipes.
&nbsp\\;
Looking forward to delivery. Really liking some of the mods on this site. I've had sports bikes before (Suzuki GSXR 600), so I know it's going to be a big difference. Can't wait to get it home and get the exhaust on.

Congrats on the purchase.&nbsp\\; I love my Cross Bones.&nbsp\\; One thing- make sure you check the handlebars before you ride away.&nbsp\\; This model seems to have a problem with the rubber mounts which makes the handlebars a bit loose.&nbsp\\;

Good choice, due to the fact I have one also.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Only extra your going to need is a Ness Big Sucker A/C and a V&amp\\;H&nbsp\\;Fuel Pak.&nbsp\\; With the pipes you have, it will be perfect.&nbsp\\; Have fun, enjoy.&nbsp\\;
