I think the most important thing about the bike is that it says "Harley Davidson" on it. There isn't a single Harley out there I wouldn't take. I like the looks of every single one, they are all cool in their own ways.

My opinion: Flip a coin because you can't lose.

I've been riding for 45 years. I've had Jap bikes and Harleys. Currently have a 1985 Dresser and a 2008 Rocker FXCW. Since I built a 1964 Pan from the ground up, I've had the Bones bike look. I like to ride solo, hence the Rocker. My statement here is, buy what you like. Old school or stretched custom/drag look dosen't matter if 'you' like it. Test ride them both, ride your buddys bike, ask questions from everyone, but in the end, it's your decision. Whatever it is, enjoy the hell out of it. Remember, it's a Harley. You can customize it until you bank account runs dry.

I prefer the look of the CrossBones, but I'm biased towards springers over choppers anyway.

That's how the Rocker Should come from the factory. Heartland makes amazing products..

Both are nice bikes but I went with the Rocker C and have zero regrets.&nbsp\\; I LOVE that bike.
As far as the Rocker / Duece comparison, there really is none.&nbsp\\; The tank is the same, every other part on the Rocker is different.&nbsp\\; I never understood the Duece anyway, the Softail Custom was/is a much better looking bike. That rear fender on the Deuce is horrific.&nbsp\\; Just my thoughts

Beauty is definately in the eye of the beholder!!
I prefer the Rocker thats why I spent the hooley on buying one!!
That being said I`d be proud to travell any road with other Harleys no matter what the style.
