Recently got me a new (to me) 08 Crossbones, she has been heavily modified though by the previous owner. Hoping to learn more about it as i get used to it, coming from a Ducati Superbike.
Fixed it for you. Are you sure your bike started out life as a Crossbones? If that was a Crossbones, I'd agree it's been heavily modified. The hallmark of the Crossbones is a springer front end. The front fender is not stock either. It looks more like a modified Deluxe or Heritage. Nonetheless, nice bike. Enjoy and ride safe.
