    Got to see the new Cross Bones bike last weekend. Sat on the solo seat and surprisingly it did not feel to bad but I didn't put a couple hundred miles on it either. I did not like the flat black paint job on it. Looks like a primer paint job. The bars were not very high and didn't feel to bad, they are well below the shoulders. I think it would look really nice in a candy apple red paint job using the black accents. Would really like to test ride one someday. Cool bike but a bit expensive for a stripped bike.

    I like it a lot for a stock bike. I would probably go with a 2 into 1 pipe and chrome bars myself.

    In my opinion it is a definite improvement over the Rocker (which I think sucks as far as lines and design go). If I had a Bones the first thing to go would be those pipes, probably replace them with some Hookers (pipes that is) the second thing would be the seat, never did like pogo seats, I feel more at one with the bike with a low profile seat sitting on the frame. I wonder how it handles with those handle bars? Looks like the center of gravity would be kind of weird, but thats just my .02. WOuldn't mind taking one for a test ride.AL
