My 97 Springer doesn't take any more wrenching then any other bike. Love the Springer!

three very true statements I could have said.

Money!
If I was rich enough to say "it's just paper" regarding money, I'd have a 30 car garage, and a fleet of bikes.

My questions

What year did the springer go EFI? I am too old and creaky to spend a lot of time wrenching...

I like the look of the crossbones, but Mama gotta have a seat, so I am looking for recommendations. (I do long range planning for a living, my OCD requires that I do as much research as possible) Any opinions or help out there?

The Bones is an excellent motorcycle. A sissy bar and pillion seat are available from HD, and there is tons of aftermarket stuff as well. the springer front end requires a little more maintenance, but not that much. I've had my Bones for about two years, and am totally satisfied.
