liked the crossbones too, thought the msrp was a little high though. I like to look at the rocker but wouldn't want to ride too far......my back gets sore just looking at it.

You don't see them on the road, so apparently no one buys'em.

-Maybe I'm in the minority, but the Cross Bones was futt bugly to me, ridiculous looking fenders and that stupid crossed skull decal...

-Rocker, check, no loss.

-Trike X, check, no loss.

---------------------------------------------------------
1) I wish they would (loose the couch seat) and bring back the softail custom.

2) Bring back a full length fender for the Fat Boy.

3) Bring back the Lowrider with a 32° rake, or a limited edition (not CVO) FXR EVO Lowrider.

Where is this coming from? Yeah, I am surprised to see the cross bones on that list too. The rocker can be modified into a cool bike - its too bad the factory couldn't fix its problem areas though. That flat tank and ridiculous seat just killed it for me.

The information is coming from a guy that works at a Harley Dealership, and I don't know if I remember him ever giving us bad information.

never a huge fan of the rocker. With a few tweeks I think that the crossbones could be a cool bike though. The upsweep rear fender looks out of place on it to me. With either a downturn or really bobbed fender I think it would be a cool retro look. I cant speak to the trike. Im sure there are people out there that would like one, but i dont think the market is big enough for a production trike.
