Default '11 Crossbones Pics

So bought a new '11 Crossbones late last fall. I wasn't going to post pics, but decided since I haven't really seen any other orange crossbones (Other than Jaburg1), I'd throw up some pics.

Bike is pretty much stock with the exception of bags (thanks to SkeezMachine), Fat cat (Thanks to 2008Crossbones) and the 1925/40 seat.

Also added a few other small things like smoked lens covers, lowered the headlight, passenger seat and sissy bar.

Up next, I plan on going with either the pcv or the power vision and an air cleaner, probably the Joker Machine Diamond. Also hoping to black out some more of it.

Thanks for looking, compliments, recommendations and criticism welcome

2inch lowering bolts would give it a cool look...only $16 on eBay. Would look good without the frame stickers on the front tubes.

I really like the X-bones model, shame they discontinued.

Cool bike, keep up the good work.

Nice bike. I think it looks better with the badlander seat on it.

I actually bought the $16 bolts on ebay. Got the shocks off, and they didn't thread into the shock correctly. Guy sent me a new pair to try, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm kind of hesitant bc I do quite a bit of two up riding and don't want to ruin the ride quality though. At the same time, I'm 5'5" and weigh 145, so I need an height help I can get, and project barely use the suspension with my weight anyways, even with the passenger, we weigh 260 combined.

I'll probably end up throwing them on.

Your Bones is looking great, Keep up the good work. I like the Badlander seat on there more. I run the Sidekick seat on mine and love it so far.

I got a Pumpkin Bones too. I thought it was a really rare color, until about 3 months after I bought mine, the dealership had another come in on a trade from another dealership....I told them they should paint it so mine was more special.

I've yet to see another one on the road, and only know of you and jaburg1 on here with it. Therefore, to me, I have 1 of 3! I'll consider that rare
