Hey guys , I'm looking at a crossbones and I was wondering about the ride? I'm a larger guy almost 300 lbs and with that seat what's the ride like? Am I gonna bottom out that seat? I currently have a bagger and am looking at second bike. love the looks of the crossbones and just curious if I'm missing anything.
Thanks

I think you'll be just fine! I wouldn't worry about it.

I once got into some heat on these forums for being honest on some thread and saying that I thought my scoot was much better looking than the OP's (he asked). All sorts of offense was taken and I got all kinds of grief for admitting that the reason I own my particular motorcycle is because it's what I really like and feel looks better than anything else out there. The NERVE of me!!!

Looking at this Springer of yours has cured me of such an ailment. I now find myself happily in envy of someone else's motorcycle over mine. I never knew I could experience the joy of coveting what someone else rides.

Thank you Redbear. Your masterfully crafted motorcycle has released me from the bonds of content and satisfaction.

They were some generic ebay items for $69.95. I think the brand was something like X-Element. They do look better with age, getting a bit of a weathered look to them. I think these are the same thing, the price has gone up some in the last 3 years. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Brow...eb4717&vxp=mtr
