Yes because the Crossbones is still being produced for 2011!! Its when the 2012 bikes start rolling down the lines is when its done! Ive been to 4 dealers wheeling and dealing with the crossbones and everyone of them said they just got the memo that the harley Crossbones will no longer be produced in 2012!

The less they do to a bike(make it generic) they more the customer will want to customize it = the more parts they sell.

Kinda like it. Almost exactly what I'm trieng to do to my standard. Still looking for a set of crossbones jugs to bore out and I kick myself for not picking up a black front rim thats been sitting behind my indy's counter for years. But I wouldnt buy one that way I prefer to do it the way I want it.

Way over priced but they will get it. For the price it should be a 103ci, it seems they have figured out how to make a bike almost blacked out lacking $1000 worth of black parts to be bought in upgrades like the low

I never liked the look of the rocker, myself. I liked the crossbones, but only with the rear fender modification. I guess I won't miss either one much. It would be nice to see some creativity in a new design.
