Sorry fellas, but as much as I hate to admit it - I have crossed over to the "dark side". I went to Ray Price H-D this morning to buy a ball cap and ended up trading in my baby for a Crossbones. Man is it sweeeeet! I'm not really digging the seat, but I'll take care of that soon enough. All I have for pics right now are the ones I took with my phone....

Sarge, congrats on the first purchase I've seen of the Cross Bones on here. Look forward to your review and tweaks. Post extra pics when you can.

 

Sarge I bought one last week.. There are Seats and rear fenders available Now.... I'm doing the Short strutless Stubby rear fender and the Butt Crack seat.. Should get the fender back from thepainter nextweek ...Congrats on the New Bike ...

 

I stopped in and checked it out at the local dealer today. I really liked the unfinished head edges, really sets it apart from theother 96's. Nice buy!

 

Super congrats. This bike is starting to grow on me already. Trying to talk my wife into it so I have a second cool bike to ride.

A good video review http://www.latimes.com/classified/au...tory?track=rss

 

Oh yeah, forgot. I want a full video review from you on youtube ! ASAP.

 

CHECK THIS PICTURE OUT

BTW, I'm in NC too, I work in Raleigh often.

 

Damn Skip, how about breaking in that Train a little more first?

 

Congratulations, Sarge! i really like the looks of them. You take it for a spin?

 

Damn Trotter, how many scooters do you have now??[:-]

I rode it around for about an hour this evening. I ended up spending the whole day at the dealership. They made a big deal out of me being the first to buy a Crossbones, so I didn't get out of there until after 6. It broke my heart to leave my Dyna sitting in the service area. I know she will be loved though. The entire dealership staff, minus the finance guy who was working with me, was standing around her admiring.

The Crossbones rides like a dream, but it definitely isn't for short people with the factory seat. I'm 5' 11" with a 34" inseam and the seat grazes the jewels when I stand flat-footed. I truly appreciate what they were shooting for with the bobber seat, but it just doesn't cut it. Although they did think ahead and made it detachable with a thumb screw. The yolk and springs are mounted to a plate that comes off in one piece. No frame mods at all. Other than the seat and pipes that sound like a Honda, I absolutely love it!

The best part is.....the wife doesn't even know yet! It's only my second week in NC and look what I've done without adult supervision. Any advice on how to break the news would be greatly appreciated.
