Default 08 Crossbones....almost done....

Here's some pics finally. Keep telling the wife I'm done. Blacked out hand and foot controls, smoked signals, HD tribar led tail light, smoked windshield, SE A/C, V&H Short shots, HD lowering kit, sissy bar & pillion, wrinkle black primary, timer and clutch covers, Dark Custom Derby Cover, LeatherWorks swing arm bag, 2" seat springs and finally today an HD bobber seat. Love the new seat. Never liked the vinyl oem. still not sold on the performance of the 2" springs...look great, compress to easily. Factory ones have more resistance. New seat is less padded and allows me to sit much lower on the bike. Perfect place to stop adding to this bike.....for now.

Sweet! I've ordered black ceramic coated Samson upswept fishtails. Hopefully I'll have them installed next week. I'm planning on powder coating the rocker covers, timer cover, and tranny covers glossy black instead of black wrinkle.

I also purchased the same seat and used 2" springs and it bottoms out. I'm trying to source springs similar to OEM but 1" shorter. I found a spring manufacturer that might be able to supply the part. I'll let you know if I have any luck.

Take a look at the attachment to see what they will look like:

Good looking ride, but I can't believe you haven't contacted White Boy and gotten rid of that plastic battery cover.
