People will be wrong and go to their graves insisting they are right... It's the way things are.

It shares very little styling from the earlier Harley model, the Fat Bob FXEF.

That said, I LOVE the styling of the 2008 Fat Bob I have. Beautiful!
I really actually dig the look too of the old one..Which oddly does not have a bobbed rear fender, making the name even more unsuitable....

I would bet it is a 2008 CVO springer. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...a%3DN%26um%3D1

Could be. . . but why would someone (a dealer?) put a Crossbones paint job on that custom paint?

We must be seeing differen't pics. Cause I see no cross bones paint job. The paint job I see is a black base, with a yellow pinstripe around a grey design. Is what I recall on the 08 springer CVO and linked above to support my memory.
