Default Le Pera Bare Bones on my Crossbones Pics
Just as the title says. I had to drill the hole into the bobber fender to put the seat bolt nut. I like the seat and how low it puts me in the saddle. I feel inside the bike not ontop of it like with the stock seat. Seat is comfortable. I am currently drilling and tapping my bars to keep them from slipping. I will post pics of that as well.

I just ordered my bare bones today. Glad to hear that you think it's comfortable.

Looks great. Gives the CrossBones a different personality, I think.

I'd like to upgrade my seat as well. But, I think I'll probably go with a slimmer springer seat. Though, I love the look of that Barebones...

LOL, the neighbor's grass is always greener, we are always going in the other direction, from "regular" seats to spring ones...

The bike looks cool.

Mimo.

Thanks for the reply's guys. To me it gives it a different look. I think it gives it that "seat mounted to the rigid frame bobber look". Thats just me though and I'm pretty biased. Thanks again

Looks good, I like the springer look better but it does look good and I love how low it gets you.

Your bike looks great with that seat. You are definitely sitting in the bike and not on it.
