Where do you feel more comfy on? Have you ridden both? Which style do you like better? I like the Xbones too but I love my Street Bob. I've ridden a lot of different bikes but in my opinion Dynas are the best bikes.... easy to handle and comfy to ride!

You can change the seat on the Xbones I have seen one with a two up seat and sisy bar looked cool. I have never ridden one but sat on one and the upright seating position really got to me. Its like you sit on top of the bike not in it compared to the Street Bob.

Crossbones for sure.You won't have to do a bunch of mods to make it look like a Crossbones! I traded in my Streetbob for a Crossbones and the ride is much better not to mention the looks.You see a lot of Streetbob owners tryin to get that look but very few can. Save yourself the trouble and buy the crossbones.

Streetbob's a blank canvas, the x-bones looks too contrived imho. You can go some way to getting the bike you really want with the money you save as well.

It's all personal taste. Personally I don't like the style of X-Bones. I'm sure many agree and many disagree with me. Do what makes YOU happy!

Personally I would think about what direction you want to go with a bike and decide witch one is closer. If the x bones was out when I bought my bob, it would have been a hard decision for me as well.
