    No Cview, it was consigned through Pro Street Cycles here at Lonsdale .  If the guy in Townsville that bought it thought of selling it, i would buy it back no problem if he kept it like it was when he got it + the box of all the stock parts that were included.

    Have ridden them all, but never a SPRINGER.

    None of my mates have springers, and there's none around for test riding.

    I've read all the reviews on the 'net for the Cross-Bones, but I want YOUR opinion!!

    I've promised the wife that my next hog is my last, and as I've always loved the look of the springer front end - do they work well enough on Australian roads?

    G'day Mick8,
    I ride a xbones.
    The first day I rode it I thought well that was a waste of 28 grand.
    But like most things 6 months later I'm blowin other bikes away in the twisties.
    I have a SE 110 in mine which makes it a lot easier.
    Your welcome to come and ride mine if I can ride yours. 
    An hour or so will let you know.
    Maintenance is different a squirt with my special formula on the front end before a ride. Some bearings replaced after a long while. I've machined my own porous brass bearings for mine which I will never need to touch again. 
    Wide bares help, it is a slight wrestling match at first, but I go one handed now into the tight stuff. 
    Piece of piss.
