This bike is the newest Harley Big Twin that I've gotten and it's all because Gummiente and someone else were talking about how they liked the FLSTSB CrossBones and that it was a impressive ride. I tried to get answers from them but got no reply except I found a post from Gummiente saying it would ge his number 3 bike if he could get one. Okay, it must be something special.

Days later, the dealer has a problem. A good customer was afraid he had terminally upset his wife so he need to sell his brand new Silver/Pewter
CrossBones and he needed to sell it or he was a facing a divorce. The dealer couldn't do anything about it but give him a real lowball bid. Well, that was too little for the owner, so I took the bike around the block and a few other places, maybe 5-10 minutes. I came back and offered the guy half the difference between the fealers offer and what the guy had paid for it. He didn't like it but it paid off what he owed on it and he was free of it.

Gummiente, you just don't know how influential you are. :mrgreen:

So anyway, since that tiime I've been working on the bike and getting some things done though not as many as I want. But Harleys last a long time. BTW this bike had 350+ miles on it.

The owner added the sissybar and the forward carsh bar. I liked them so I remounted them. Then I rode it for a few days until I got a thousand miles on it then pulled it apart and added a S&S 103 cu kit and stage 2 perfomance package except with Vance and Hines Exaust pipes, I found that if I exchanged the heads for a stage 3 porting and polishing job with a larger and better profiled valve job with a siffer cam that the horse power the bike wold gain 110 hp withtons of torque over a wider rpm range. I then added a larger TB and a thundermax EFI controller.For now the rest of the bike is fairly stock but I hape to get better rear shocks

The tractor type seat is strangely comfortable. It seems to have anybad habits except the brakes are a bit on the light side but have had no close valls that were only the bikes gault. the second thing was the surprising ride quality of the springer front end. However, at sppeds over to and esp, 80+. the front end wants to bounce hard over surface joints and other bumps like broken concrete. anyway the pictures.

I'm not the biggest HD fan, but I do love me some springer action. It's a soft tail, right? Shocks under the frame to make it look like a hard tail?

Daaaaaayaaaaamn, niiiiice ride! (Although the sissybar looks a bit "off" without a pillion seat).

So, does this make it bike number three?

Actually the third bike will be my Fat Boy, that'll be no 3 but you'll have to go through 4, 5 and 6 also. :D

I'll probably have the Fat Boy done by this afternoon.

I'll also have the given the ST it's first complete fluid change. This includes the shaft drive because for some reason every shaft drive unit just builds up gunk the first 1000 miles.

As far at the sissybar and not looking right. I plan on putting a pillion seat on it in the new future. Right now, I like the look of it but it's a real nice place to hook things to.However, I don't want to give up the tractor seat. It's one of the most comfortable seats I've used lately.
