Lowered Cross Bones
Just returned from the stealer where they have an 09 Cross Bones, which they lowered and changed the seat (Sundowner, I think).
Fits me like a glove. I may have to change my thinking from a Dyna Lowrider to the Bones.
Question, does the springer front end require any special maintenence?
According to the dealer, a new Bones comes in at 500 for it's first service.
Any information from Bones owners is appreciated.

I have an 08 cross bones. I just had it for about 10 days though so I am not the best reference as regards to what kind of maintenance does the springer need. I love the bike and the ride feel is great. I have the springer seat which I find to be a very comfortable. The bike is surely a head turner, I've had a few compliments from people and friends. I am planning a couple of changes down the road but I love this bike.

I had mine since March. The 500 mile check is B/S. I had mine done and they just looked at it, checked a few nuts and said I was ready to go. No charge, do you believe it. I've got 5000 miles on it now and it's at the dealer for service. I've had no problems with the bike, it's a great bike.

Coyote....
they should have greased the head bearings...
IMO a XB with out the Springer Seat is like Pamela Anderson with out her implants!! just not the same!
but to each their own..
I love my XB... to date my fav HD!
the lowrider is a great bike also It has a different look... and IMO it handles the twisties better

Maybe they did, they had it for a couple of hours, but that was the only thing I saw them do. It's a pretty damn good dealer.
thanks

I just remembered, I saw them do the head bearing check two weeks later when I had it in for the 1000 mile service. So it did get done by at least the 1000 mile time period.
