Default Cross Bones seat on my bike?
I always thought putt a solos spring seat like the Cross Bones seat on my bike would look killer. Do you guys think it would accentuate the old school look or look kind of out of place? I would actually put a different solo seat on teh cross bones mount, but it would be similar. Well?

I think it would look cool old school. Just my opinion, and I am an old school kind of guy.

I have the '25 seat on mine. It sits low and would look badass on your bike!

Dunno how that would work out on your bike Anu' without getting real serious and having that deal under the seat custom painted along with show chroming springs and any exposed hardware?

Your bike is so right in its current configuration....But yeah. I know. The urges to mod, tweak and change are a tough fight!!

Just my opinion..The crossbones has too much plastic and cheap looking sh&t...

vtwin makes a nice solo spring seat with a chrome cover....
I got to bomb around on this hot rod a couple weekends ago.....The bars aren't set-up for me but the seat was pretty comfortable..

I think your bike looks more "Gangsta" than old school. Putting a sprung seat on it would take that look away. I would leave it as is. I like the solo springer seats I just don;t think on your bike.

I agree. What you need is a sling for a shotgun or baseball bat or something like that. The gangsta ready to kick some azz

Im puttn a metal seat pan on my bike this winter. Never to much of a fan of the springed solo seat pan, just dont look right to me. You can get a seat pan on ebay for 40 bucks and the guy will custom make one for 10 extra bucks and they come with a bracket for the front.
