RE: Fat boy or Crossbones
If I had it to do over again I would still buy a Fatboy. The FB is more versatile: able to ride two-up,caninstall myquick detachable windshield, backrest with luggage rackfor a long trip and the bike still looks great. I like the looks of the Crossbones but I want more than a weekend bar hopper.

RE: Fat boy or Crossbones
i am not onboard the "black is the new chrome" train yet... do not think i will ever be riding that one.
but you know what i really do not like about the boner? ...the cheapo abs plastic beneath the seat and the way it fits. howcome moco could not even edge trim this piece with a bead of leather or synthetic? that would be my first customized step on that bike.
i'll stick with the fatty.

If I was looking to buy now, I'd still go for the FB. My wife and child would not forgive mefor getting a bike with no passenger seat. The Xbones is a nice looking ride, but looks alone do not cut it for me, I am looking for functionality as well, and my fatty gives me all that and more IMHO.
