Hello all!
I came to the forum for some suggestions and just general information. We have a 2011 Cross bones in vivid black. My husband does the riding really... I just hang out on back. We have had the bike for about a year and have been working on modifications since then. So far we have replaced the exhaust, put on a sissy bar and a seat for me and we just got new handle bars which are currently being powder coated to match. Forgive me if I said any of that wrong ... I am new to all of this and I am learning. Since my husband is currently deployed I have been starting the bike about once or twice a month and trying to take care of her. Some day I will learn to ride and get my own motorcycle... just something much smaller. I am going to have questions as we move forward on getting everything just right. So thanks in advance!
