RE: Fat boy or Crossbones
If I was to do it today, I might buy the Cross Bones.
I like that Pin Stripe.
I'd change the rims on either bike, to 18" (front and rear) black and chrome contrast.

RE: Fat boy or Crossbones
If I had a choice today, I still would get a Fatty. It would be a tough decision, but the Fatty still would get the nod. One thing I don't get about the X Bones though, how come the bars are not internally wired? I guess the MOCO wanted a nostalgic lookin bike, but they could have at least put the wires inside. If I did have a X Bones, after the pipes and stage 1, I would attempt to hide the wires, even if it meant changing out the bars. I guess I'm spoiled with internally wired bars.
It is a fine lookin bike though IMHO.

I would go with the Fat Boy, probably because that is what I have.
The Cross Bones is a great looking bike, but with the springed seat it makes you look unnatural, sitting so high up on the bike.

Fat Boy for me between the two. I sat on a Crossbones but I didnt drive it. I think the Fat Boy would be more comfortable to ride.

This model also has different bars and 2 into 1 pipes, also different than the "C".
