Dont like the seat or rake in front, stretch it out a bit, more like a softail with a fat front tire.

I didn't think I would like the olive on this bike, but it's not half bad...

like the bike and think it looks good. Like any Harley you are going to change what you want to make it your own.

After reading many posts from several different threads on this bike, it appears Harley has hit a home run with the Cross Bones. The marketing video from HD is pretty cool too!

Pretty cool. Needs the Rocker rear tire, not the swing arm, just the fat tire.

Great looks. When do you think they'll hit the dealers?

The more I look at it the more I like it. I'm not a big fan of either fender (personal preference is for larger more full fenders or maybe a rear fender without the bob (like the Nightster's). I really like the pinstriping even if I don't much care for the Army green. Love the Springer front end, fat rear tire, the slash cut pipes and the rider seat. I'd like a little larger headlamp - maybe bullet. I don't think that there is any accessory pillion available yet. Unfortunately, for some of us to convince the wife that we need this bike it will probably require a pillion which hopefully comes off fast. I think that this will be a killer just like the Nightster was/is for the Sporty.
