Default Seat Option for Crossbones - opinions
What do you guys think of this seat by NYC Choppers for the Crossbones? I'm looking for something a bit different than my stock seat and was wondering if anyone here has experience with this model. It looks about the same as the one from Cyril Huze. I'm one of the few riders that likes the stock seat on the Bones....it's very comfortable and it sits high which suits my height very well. It just lacks a bit in the looks category. Would love to have comfort, looks, and seat height all in one!

I actually considered that one too. But, instead, had Kyle at Shade Tree Fabrications make me one special. I've ridden it for hours at a shot and it's quite comfortable. Gets lots of comments too.

2xsrc,

Do you have a pic of what Shadtree made for you? What was the turn-around time from ordering to delivery? I've looked at them also and they look very nice.

Turn around time was pretty good considering it was hand made to my specs and colors...even the logo. Here are a couple of pics:

I have the NYC Choppers saddle on mine and it works just fine, no issues here. It looks a million times better then that stock park bench HD put on the bike as well.
