Cross bones. I am not a big rocker guy. I like the old school look of the cross bones.

I would rather have the rocker and extra cash for mods, $2400 is quite a difference.

Rocker, the x bones is a love it or hate it thing. Love the springer, the rest is a leave it for me. Rode both at demo day and loved the way the rocker rode and drove but not crazy about the seat on the rocker, The X bones didn't fit me at all. Your money buy the 1 you want and enjoy the ride.
