Default 2010 Crossbones - Maybe?

Dealer got a 2010 Crossbones in yesterday. Went over to take a look. Bike is a one owner, 23,000 miles, new clutch and tires. Seat would have to go but, other than that sweet bike.

Thinking of trading my Bobber in on it. My bike and $2,000 takes it home. Pondering it. Thoughts?

I like it. I’d do it.

Springers are about the only HD to hold their value as a bonus.

Do it, and NOW! Don't look back. You won't regret it if there is any warranty at all.

I agree with the OP about the seat. I love my Crossbones! I would do it.

I'm thinking the rear suspension would be a bonus for longer rides. Go for it.
Cheers!

Thanks. I love the bobber. It is a blast to ride but, I"m 62 now, can' do more than 100 or so miles on it at a time or my back starts screaming due to the rigid frame. I thought about just getting a softail frame and moving all the stuff over. Kraft Tech, who built the rigid says with the VIN number, they can get me a softail frame with the exact dimensions at the rigid. It would cost about $3,000 to do with paint, upgrades etc. Not sure it's worth it.

Plus, the Xbones has the 96" motor and a six speed transmission. Both pluses.
