Smile Please give me some ideas

Just picked up a leftover 09 Crossbones and I cant stand the seat. Please post as many pics as possible. I went into the picture section and it looks like the majority of people kept the stock seat. Pics of pipes grips aircleaner and any other add on's will also be greatly appreciated.

what do you dislike about the stocker?
do you want to keep the springs?

That might help in making a reccomendation....

changing to a stock Train or Fat boy seat, even a LePera will lower you(in the bike) prob a good 1 to 2 inches
