rocker vs. cross bones
just wondering what your opinions are on these two bikes? i personally think the crossbones is a much better looking bike, i'm even thinking of trading my 06 springer in for one.

Cross Bones over Rocker for sure!
However, I think a few minor modifications to the Cross Bones wouldn't hurt (ie: rounded rear fender with a tombstone tailightand maybe low buckhorn bars, drag barsor beachbars).....I'd keep the front fender the way it is, but with a larger tire.....other than that......not a bad lookin' bike. I really like the 1940ish retro styling. That's just one man's opinion!

lets give these models a chance and see what happens, just like the bobber everyone craved over them, now they are a dime a dozen on the used market, our dealer only will stock one, otherwise you have to order, to be like the rk, wideglide, or lowrider or even the couch models, they have to have yrs to really get a feel if they are winners or losers

This may not be a scientic sample, but it looks like HD is in trouble with the Rocker sales wise and not just because of the economy.

RE: rocker vs. cross bones
i like the name Rocker over Crossbones...i just cant hear myself saying "i ride a crossbone". but then again i couldnt say "i ride a rocker" either. both need changes in my opinion but i like more things on the crossbone than the rocker.
but theyre both Harley's so i cant "hate" either one. everyone likes something different!
just my $0.02
