Default Soon to be Cross Bones owner!

Well I bit the bullet and traded my Sporty in on a 2011 Cross Bones, I should be able to pick it up this Friday. I've been reading up on them for a few weeks now, there's lots of good looking ones on the board... guess I've got some mods to do.

Thanks, I loved my 48 but I wanted a little more comfort and range out of the gas tank... plus I was wanting that springer front end.

You will love the springer. Gives a good ride and if you are on a boring stretch of road you can watch the springs go up and down every time you hit a bump....Great fun!

Congrats on the new Crossbones!!!! You'll love the bike and love the ride.....and love all the stares you'll get while riding! Don't rush into any modifications; do what you feel like doing. The rarest of all Harleys is a stock Harley.
