I have had a Softail Custom, an Ultra, and now the XBones.&nbsp\\; The XBones handles better than any of them on curvy roads.&nbsp\\; I go up to Deals Gap "The Dragon" in East TN which has 311 curves in 11 miles and the XBones takes those curves like a duck in the water.&nbsp\\; Couldn't ask for better handling bike.&nbsp\\;

 

If you bite the bullet, please post some pics.

 

Even after 10 years ...the springer's a good handling smooooooooth ride.&nbsp\\;

 

what a difference!!! the whole softail, springer is amazing,,,, coming from a dyna.&nbsp\\; though both bikes have there,, ++'s.............

Thanks for all the replys. I'm working the dealer right now. Got the transportation and setup taken off the deal. We're working interest rate now. Bastages won't come off the MSRP though. We'll see how it turns out!

Picked up my black denim Cross Bones last Friday after trading in my Road King Custom and I couldn't be happier.&nbsp\\; I like the way the Xbones rides WAY more than the RKC.&nbsp\\; I got a smoking deal too: the dealership knocked $1900 off MSRP, gave me $2100 over Kelly Blue Book on my trade in, deleted the prep charge and threw in my first service.&nbsp\\; I live in the DC/Baltimore area where there are a bunch of dealers so I guess competition is pretty high.&nbsp\\; It's also the second bike I bought at this dealer.&nbsp\\; They will be installing black V&amp\\;H short shots, stage 1 kit, blah blah once the pipes arrive.&nbsp\\; I'm totally psyched about the new bike and have zero regrets about leaving the RKC behind.

 

Sham sounds like you got a killer deal there. Mine was alot closer to what Eagle was sayn. Lucky You!&nbsp\\;I know right now at my dealer the last xbones sold(08) they went out of state to get it. So far I give a +1 to all comments on the bones just a dam good ride.

I definately love my crossbones....and like some of the other guys were saying, I tend to watch my springs work over the bumps....it's kinda like watching a movie but on a motorcycle.&nbsp\\; Needless to say, you won't be disappointed....have fun.

 

I'd like to ride this bike with out the boards and forward controls. That would be sweet.&nbsp\\; I bet it would improve the lean angle a little.

 

Well I did it... Bought the Bones today... got the Olive Green... Couldn't ride it home it was freakn storming here... maybe tomorrow or the next day...

$17100 I pay the taxes... did get it at 6.25 percent... not from H-D though....[8D]
