My crossbones is my first HD. Actually, its my first ever motorcycle besides motorcross when I was a kid :-). I love the bike but don't have anything to compare it to. I can't imagine that there is a better riding bike than the crossbones. I absolutely love it!

Pros::: Cool as S***!!

Cons::: LOTS more to clean!! Hard to clean and wax and polish the springs... but it's worth it.... I get tons of compliments on my Springer....

I read when Harley re-introduced the Springer frontend, for all but sharp edged potholes it was a smoother ride. It doesn't suffer the stiction a hydraulic frontend has.

Once you go springer - you never go back. Never owned anything else.

Pros- They're f-ing cool
Cons- I don't have one
I've been looking on eBay for a good 2007 FLSTSC but it is hard to find someone willing to sell theirs.
