RE: XBONES OWNERS, HOWS THE COMFORT OF THE SEAT?
thanks for all the input. jerry let me know how the 250 mile ride goes. i'd love to ride the gap on this thing. the wife and i were going to take my ultra this summer there but i can only have one bike at a time so she's gonna have to deal with the small passenger pillion on the bones instead of the cushy seat with arm rests on the ultra.haha

screamn-eagal, Just took my wife for a ride on the bones, she hates the seat, only thing i could tell her was that mine was real comfy, going from a ultra rear seat to a pilion seat, ( YOU MIGHT really FIND OUT WHY THEY THEY CALL IT IT A BITCH PAD)

BG: I have an '05 1200R and she rode "bitch" on that without too much grumbling, but loves this seat SO much more! [sm=crossbonesgif.gif]

I have both the Ultra and the XBones. Before I bought the XBones I thought to myself that the seat would probably have to be the first thing to be replaced, but I was wrong. Of cource the longest ride so far is only 110 miles, but had no problems or aches/pains at all. Tomorrow I am taking it on a 250 mile trip up to the Cherohala Skyway and Deals Gap, so I probably will have a better idea then. Otherwise, I like it. Jerry

I was surprised, it is pretty comfortable, kept the seat and went with their two up setup. It does ride higher but I kind of like it, feels like you can throw the bike around a little easier, one drawbackis at 5'10" I can get flat footed but pushing backwards is tough.

Bgismo20, I hate to disagree withyou, but I took my new XBones to the dragon today and challenged the dragon and won. With a total of 636 curves in 22 miles (to the gap and back) and an overall trip of 215 miles, I did not...I repeat, I did not scrape either floorboard a single time. Now I have probably been to Deals Gap 75 times or more and know the curves and are used to them and know how to ride them. I did not ***** foot around on them, I pushed them hard and rode like I stole the bike....and still did not scrape any. Jerry
