Default 09 Models

So after seeing nothing with the 2009 Rockers that has changed, I am thouroughly disappointed. I have now decided to buy a train and customize it. I guess I should thank the MoCo for making my decision for me. And what the hell is with the sticker on the oil tank of the bones?

Were you expecting them to make it a different bike the second year of production?

No, Mike, that would be ignorant. I was hoping they would have listened to the consumers and possibly tweaked a few things that we all can't stand. Don't get me wrong, I still love the rocker and yours is one of the best. However, with a price tag of around twenty grand with no changes made for the 2009 model year is what did me in.

No argument here either, just a comment that it takes a few years before changes get incorporated into a new bike. I understand the price comparison, and I do like the Train a lot, but if you like the feature of the rocker - Raked front end, big tire, slammed rear and chrome. You will be spending a lot of extra money on Train mods.

NM I think it's a website error, under softail family it says rubber mounted , air cooled, 1584CC but when you click on a specific bike it says rigid mounted.

The Jolley Roger sticker on the oil tank for the 09 Cross Bones looks generic.
