Well, I think it depends on your style.
I think the Cross Bones is a retro looking bike, one of the few that really set apart from the rest of the line of HDs. Looks really custom and bobber style, which is a great great look and would love to own one or was an option in 2007 when I bought my Night Train.
"On the other hand, I think the CrossBones and Night Train are the the most eye-catching bikes" - I agree with that statement very much! Everytime I go anywhere or big events, people always ask about my NT. I never expected that.
The Heritage, is just not my style and more of the traditional HD look. Nothing wrong with the bike, but I really like a bike that looks scary and looks like it can kick your ***!!!
My final answer is CROSS BONES. But go with your gut, one should just feel right.

I was between a X Bones, Heritage, and a Fatbob at this time last year so i understand what you are going through. For me I knew the minute I seen the Bones in person and sat on it. It defenatly is a head turner. On the way to the 105th last year I had multiple people come up to me and say it was the best looking bike they had seen and if they were to get a bike thats what they would get. The heritage would most likey be the better touring bike out of the box, but you could make the bones into a tourer if you want to. (Personaly I have tried to talk myself into a windsheild but cant bring myself to do it and break up the lines of the bike). So like I said before both a sweet rides it is which one you sit on and like the best. For me I would go with the Bones.
(Pretty nice I tell you get what works for you, and get a Bones. What a convaluted thought pattern I have

This from a Night train owner: sat on the Heritage and loved it, saw the CrosssBones and loved it. The Bones appealled to me visually and on an emotional level. The Heritage fit like a well worn glove. I ended up with the CrossBones. Priorities...

that is like asking if you a re a day or night person..
talk about 180 degrees different..
if you want to tour or carry allor of stuff, maybe a heritage is the way to go, but like previsouly said, i think you should already know which one you want..

I like them both but a Heritage is my pick... But I wouldn't kick an X Bones out of my garage!!! Simply said I've got it all with the Heritage, I can load her up and tour or I can strip her down and cruise. Either way she turns heads.
oops, looks like you already made your choice... Enjoy and like Funky said, show us PICS!!!!
