Hello all, new to board but not new to bikes.
Started at 3.5-4 yrs. old, then raced mx as teen,got off while kid was raised.
Came back to bikes in 03 riding a buddies harley. First harley I rode since riding a 125cc two stroke harley we owned when I was a kid.
Bought my 04 ultraglide 11/04, it now has 40000. Just bought x-bones as second bike for just around town and because I think it is thecoolest bike h-d has offered in awhile.
Will need taller apes, straight shots,minor cosmetics to complete as I want it, but this bike is sooo close to what I was fixin to build.

Welcome, from Charlotte, NC. Varying opinions on the forums concerning the Cross Bones, but I for one think it is cool as hell, and would like one for a second bike, as well. It reminds me of a beefed up Nightster.
