Haha, great response!

 

After having posted this response I started feeling a bit like an @$$ myself. I don't like spreading hate around and I view the forums first and foremost as a means for me to share and learn from other enthusiasts who enjoy getting their hands dirty to make their scoots their own. On the other hand I am only human and I get so burned up when other members seem to go out of their way to rag on other people's scoots, thoughts, or what-have-you. I find it hard to imagine a person sitting behind a keyboard just looking for an opportunity to drop criticism as if they are privy to some universal truth that the rest of us are too ignorant to grasp. I feel bad that I allow myself to stoop to the same level in response.

For doing so I would like to apologize first specifically to the owners of Heritage Softail Classics. I don't mean to hate on your bikes. They are not my thing but that is only a matter of my personal taste and I don't believe that anyone who rides one has bad taste or judgment. I used traits of the Heritage to take a jab at one person without thinking about the many other good folks I might offend who ride a Heritage.

Second I would like to apologize to anyone who has been following my thread and to future readers of my thread. I should have done what I could to steer the topic back to its main objective (the modding of a Crossbones) and not add the the negative dribble brought about by trolls and haters. I hope I can continue to offer advice and learn from others and move away from the negativity that I helped to create.

Thanks,

Skeez

 

Wonder if a moderator can delete the non related posts and have the Original post and related questions and answers stickied. I think this is a great write up, that has and will help alot of people.

 

Good call Skeez. If my XBNZ did not look like it did, it would look like yours, BTW. Great work.

Thanks for the heads up. Mine is ordered waiting on UPS. Just wondering, your bike is f-in sweet, why the drastic change?

 

Basically just going to have a fatboy fender for touring purposes. There are a few long rides I want to do while I'm still here in Europe and the chopped fender limits my options for luggage. And I never liked the stock fender.

 

I was looking back at my post and realized that other than the couple of snap shots I posted the night I completed this install I otherwise never showed much else in the way of pics so here are a few for everyone to consider. This first set is of the bike as I ride it SOLO.

 

Here is the main reason my Bones is going in the direction that it is. After I bought it and my wife swore she'd never want anything to do with riding it she now regularly goes on long trips with me. As such I wanted to set up the bike to make her far more comfortable then can be done with a stock Crossbones.

 

Pardon Me for stealing from your Sig, but
