Thanks bro. I appreciate the heads up. I don't remember exactly. I want to say Drag Specialties...but I'm not sure. I've been running them about 2 years now with no issues (and some pretty serious PA pothole bumps...lol).

Yeah, the seat uses the stock Crossbones hardware (hinge, etc.). The springs I got from Drag Specialties I think. The battery cover I originally used was the HD one...but the one for the Crossbones is L shaped. So I used a dremel to cut of the back portion that went on the stock fender (since I had a new tire hugging fender from RSD...the stock cover wouldn't go up against the fender like it does on the stock one.).

Any advice you have would be appreciated.

Thanks. Yeah, the dealer is right, the tank is curved and the emblems are straight. You have to work them into shape. We did it by bending them across the leg (thigh). You need to take time to ensure you don't bend them with force and make a crease. Just keep bending them and they will end up with a curve. Hope that helps.

Lot's of beautiful Bones here with a lot of great creativity by owners and vendors.

I have owned 4 HD's along the way , 98 Lowrider with Evo, couple of heritage classics including an 07 I never should have sold and a sweet 06 Street glide. Currently running a victory Cross Country and a 2010 8Ball KingPin. Both bikes are awesome and love em.

Came across a sweet Bones, has a plaid sort of paint job on it, forward controls, windshield for the grass hoppers season etc and a few other goodies. Stage 1 with RSD intake breather and looks like a 2 into 1 V&H with black rap and chrome heat shoelds with holes in em, also on Rolands website. Love the bike the way it is with maybe adding a pillion and the tall black bar and pad for looks. Maybe back to the floorboards.

Couple of questions, any special care to washing and waxing etc the paint? It has the HD OEM seat and the lower one. lights changed to LED etc.

For the black bar I only noticed the quick release tall sissy bar in black...any changes to the rear signals with this setup?

THX, we'll know in a couple of day if i add this girl to the stable.
