my son was at local dealers today to look at the rocker...he said the dealer told him to come back this saturday that he would have the cross bones for him to look at...it suprised me that it would be so soon
I dont see why not, there really are no new major part changes. They already had the font ends, engines frames and body. Just a change in paints, tires and bam a new Badboy !!! Wish they woulda called the Bad boy 2 or something though...
My initial thought would be that the bike introduced 1st (the Rocker) would come out 1st.....but considering the Cross is pretty much being assembled from parts already in the bin.......we shall see.

I heard the rocker was delayed due to the failure of a supplier to provide the rear fender. The Crossbones may actually come out on time. We'll see.
I have no idea how true or not it is. But when I saw the first onethe dealer inBuffalo, the salesmanthought it was hot stuff and made a big deal aboutthe rear fender coming from a local (in Buffalo) supplier. And the reason the bikeshad been delayed so long was because the maker apparently had sometroublemaking themstraight at first. Something about them getting warped all the time, but he wasn't sure of the actual details.
Like I said I have no idea whether the guy knew what the hell he was talking about or not. I generally let what mostsalesman say go in one ear and out the other.But the idea that they were having a problem making them seems to be something that many of us have heard. So who knows, maybe its true.
