Default What to choose.

Looking to add another bike to my current Bob. The misses just can't get comfortable on this one... Softail Classic or Cross Bones , plan on riding both this fall at the dealer. Just curious if anyone here has had both and can give me some insight, will be used for 2 up riding with bags..

Not trying to be a snart *** Homie but the Missues is looking pretty comy on that bike in your Avatar!!!

On a serious note my missues cant get comfy on my bike either. Matter of fact she refuses to even ride on it with me!!

I'm thinking maybe old E-Glide or Road king maybe? Kinda spruce it up and keep it running for days she feels frisky....

You know the Bones has that tractor seat and you would hafta do a badlander or something to get away from what you have going on now right?

Bones and big two up cruiser seats just dont seem to be a good mix Bro.

I vote Classic. Or even a Road King or Glide of some sort for two up happiness.

Your springer. leaf, whatever fork is hawtness Bro.

We love ours, I put the touring pillion and backrest on for her and they helped 4X's in her comfort range over the stockers....
