Great job on the bike build and in such short time. Thanks for your service Airborne! I know what it is like to be sitting in that sand box waiting to get back home and especially when you have a sweet bike like that waiting for you.

Sharp looking ride. Everything I liked about the Crossbones is still there, and everything I didn't like is fixed!

Seat doesn't look very comfortable, but it's stylin'.
