Cool Crossbones Rear Fender

Thanks

That was the biggest disappointment for me regarding the Crossbones, that goofy short sport rear fender. I put a fatboy rear on mine and love it !! Its not that difficult to do either. Heres a pic...

Going the same route with a Fatboy fender. I should have it done in a couple of months, the way I work.

The fender was the one thing I was not crazy about but it's growing on me now, also I'm too cheap to swap. It is nice to see more of the 200 rear tire.

I couldn't agree with you more GymRat. I had an opportunity to follow my sister in law for a short stretch. She was riding my Cross Bones and I was on my brothers Heritage. Man I was saying the whole way "What a nice Rear". The Cross Bones that is. LOL. I mean that 200 rear and the way the Bones looks from the rear. If that doesn't sell you, nothing will.

I think the bobtail looks great on the Xbones. It's that tiny front fender that needs change!

I love the rear fender. A lot of people say they dont like a lot of things about the bones, i personally love damn near everythinga bout the bike. I would perfer if the headers and all the other covers didnt come STAINILESS STEEL (horrible) but other then that its a fukn awusome bike...
