Metal Tool Box
It's amazing how different these bikes can look after all starting out life looking identical!!! But then thats the beauty of owning a HD - the number of after market parts and options available for making your ride look different from everybody elses. I have owned and driven metric bikes for 34 years and now have my first HD (2009 Xbones) and just can't get over the number of parts available.
One thing that I have not seen much of in all the pictures of amazing mods on this site (I have seen them all I think) is the black metal tool box being used with the Xbones saddle bags!?! Is there a problem with the fit, or clearance or are they just not that popular? If anybody has a pic of their Xbones with both these items onn the bike together I would love to see it.
Thanks from the happy Canadian newby

I was looking for a FXSTSB (Bad Boy) to replace one stolen from me years ago, but couldn't find any seemingly nice ones in my budget range within a day's ride of me.
Did a local search for Cross Bones just for the heck of it --- thinking that none of them would be in my price range. Lo and behold I found an '08 for a fair price, arranged a showing Friday afternoon and then read this entire thread (*in awe of what some of you have done to your Cross Bones and the potential they have*).
Saw the bike today and it was
at 1st sight and I was even further smitten when he fired the thing up 
!!
Pulled the trigger and should be picking the beast up this week. Just crappy cell phone pics for now, but will post a few more once she's cleaned-up and in my grubby little paws.

Thanks, DC4.
I'm combing through this thread once more as I've got the title in hand and work & weather should be cooperating enough tomorrow to provide the opportunity for me to pick her up!
Riding some tomorrow, cleaning her up, then riding some more.
Then I'll be asking all sorts of questions (that have probably been asked a few 100x or so).
MERRY X-BONES TO ME!!!!

I stopped riding when it dipped into the 20's. Tomorrow and Sunday will be in the low 50's. Glad I finally could ride her and have fun. The Yaffe exhaust is stellar, though I'd never ride this thing w/ anything less than a pair of jeans on -- kinda had to kick my right foot to the outside of the floorboard to avoid contact w/ the pipes. Extremely small price to pay however.
And to anyone coming from a skinny 21" Softail front wheel: it feels, to me, that the turning/steering is not as precise on the 16" Cross Bones stock front wheel -- but you get used to it after a few miles. Another very small price to pay for the awesomeness that is the X-Bones.
