Default crossbones project all ordered - hope its gonna work

After several months on indecision and being torn between the great crossbones customs on this forum Ive taken the plunge and ordered all the gear, but very anxious about whether its going to look ok. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Here's whats arived or on its way:
Front End: RSD tracker 8" apes, joker machine mirrors, turn signal relocation kit to the folks, Adjure iron cross headlight
Mid: HD 1925 solo seat, 2" seat springs, shadetree battery cover, la rosa swing arm chopper saddle bag
Rear End: Samson upsweep fishtails in ceramic black, RSD tracker rear fender and struts in black, 2" lowering kit for the rear, limp dicky taillight off a street bob, joker machine LED rear turn signals

Hope it all comes together over the next few weeks!

Cheers

S

If your only doing 8" apes i would look into taller risers... maybe 6". Just my thoughts otherwise i cant wait to see it. Good Luck

I'm sure it will come together nicely. +1 on some taller risers. 8" may seem like a lot, but mine are 16" and they are just right for me.

look into the RSD bars, I think I remember someone saying the RSD bars only worked with their risers or something.

Ive never been a fan of the maltese cross headlight but thats just me. But the rest of the parts should look great. Lets see some before shots of it.

Can't wait to see it! Sounds like it will come out for a very interesting (cool) looking ride!

I've been thinking about those same pipes for my Bones...so I'm especially looking forward to seeing that!

I like everything but the La Rosa swingarm bag. Garage Leathers or Shaun at SOKUSTUM do great work. Good luck and post pix.

Agree on the LaRosa bag but Im saving up for Air Tail! Yikes. Will post once I get all the gear - waiting on ShadeTree battery cover - they've taken my money but no news on shipping details and not responding to emails.
