Default My X-Bones and its first mods.

Well, I normaly build race bikes and show cars(Hondas). I went and bought me a X-Bones in January and have been doing alittle work to it over the last few months. I know I could have done more but the Army is keeping me a little busy right now so only had time to do this little bit to my bike.

How my new seat started out.

New seat skin, still needs to be died.

Fatboy fender being moded to fit the X-bone. Also all welded up.

alloy art led turn signals powder coated in black.



as the bike is sitting in my garage to be finished up after work.

That seat is going to look great, I take it you did the tooling of the leather?

And thanks for your service to all of us with the Army.

No problem, would love to hit the road with one and all. We are heading to the Veterans rally in winter park tomorrow morning. Safeway on mesa ridge parkway in Fountain 0900.


Well, I am doing my best with this bike. It is my first build of this type. I have a lot of plans for it this winter so keep your eyes open. For now I just want to ride it and enjoy the weather while we still have it. Winter is coming and money is growing in the bank.
