......finish could be better; especially under the seat. Also, kept sliding off the back of the seat, could have done with it being a good 3" to 4" further back. Apart from these two niggles, I liked it.

Re: "crossbones" ??

When I worked at the dealership I used to enjoy takeing them out, nearly bought one. I found the forks very stiff and they tend to ground out very easily, as said before could do with the seat further back, some people have fitted the Night train seat to them.

I like it, thinks its one of the best looking stock bikes they do, not sure i would buy one even if i did have the folding to though think the ground clearence with those boards would annoy me
