Default Cross Bones

I'm looking at a 2008 HD Cross Bones... 10K miles on the clock and blacked out by the dealer... Looks a bit too black but it is what it is! Asking price seems high - $11K... Question: How does the Cross Bones ride compared to a Fatboy? I have a Harley Fatboy (2017) 103.... Your recommendation on buying this bike?? (They are getting very scarce here...) Regards!

Buy it! Best dam old school lookin bike HD ever built. Didnt sell- everyone wanted a Street Glide.Think of it sitting outside a bar in 1950. I was deciding between a Dyna and the Crossbones and went with the Dyna which I dont regret but theres always "what if". BTW it was that Purple Voodo whatever it's called. Cant help with the comparison. Check black book price and work your deal.Post pics if you get it.( you will if your smart).
