Crossbones, Is it me or...
is this one of the ugliest bikes ever in HD's lineup? The seat area is stupid. The lines do not flow at all. The headlight is postioned too high. It looks like it is de-raked and that bobtail fender sucks. I think the only reason people buy it is because it is blacked out.
No disrespect to the X-Bones owners just my opinion.

i comppletely agree.... that bike is hideous. they had good intentions but screwed up completely.
with some work, the bike can look decent. but if i bought the thing i would imediately rip off the seat and the plastic underneath of it. and then lose that fat front wheel and go with a 21 inch.
but i still dont think its as ugly as the rocker ha

i think you guys are failing to see the blank canvas aproach. i personly really like the bike, but man the potential it has is fantastic, and i'm not talkin HD bolt on crap i mean real customizing.
i disagree that its an ugly bike.

I agree with loosing the fat front wheel on the Bones. It's not proportionate with the rest of the bike. The Rocker could be a great looking bike but again they screwed up the seat area. It just looks out of place.

They were going for the old, post WWII bobber look, and I think they nailed it. The only thing I'd change is blacking out the primary and replacing the plastic seat pan.
