Default I just bought a Cross Bones!

The bike that made me want a HD (as opposed to another brand) was the Cross Bones (in black denim), but then I started getting an appreciation of ALL the softails. For a while I was going back and forth between the CB, Rocker C, Fatboy, and Heritage. Yesterday, I ended up winning a bid on a black denim Cross Bones and I couldn't be happier. I had bid on at least one of every other model and when I got outbid, I felt a feeling of relief. When I won the bid on the cross bones, all I felt was excitement! So I guess it was meant to be.

Now I am starting to look into mods. The only one I really want right away is the tall black sissy bar. It looks cool, and I need somewhere to strap luggage. I'm not crazy about the passenger pillion though. Would it look weird to have a sissy bar with no passenger seat?

Congrats. The Cross Bones is definitely one of the best IMO. For me, would be a toss up between a Cross Bones and a Street Bob
As for Pics....we are waiting!
