been thinking about trading bikes but that certainly wont be one on the short list . about the only thing I like about the whole bike is the springer front end

I can't say I'm a fan of this bike. There's just something that seems wrong about having a spring seat on a softail. I've always liked springers, but, this one just doesn't do anything for me.
The softail is supposed to resemble a hardtail rigid bike and it does. The spring seat was on old rigid bikes so it actually should kinda fit.
Saying that though, hiding the shock underneath to pretend to be a rigid was enough, now the spring seat is just a little over the top to me.

That bike really does look a lot like the "Bad Boy", like others were saying. The bad boys were only made for 2 years(1996,1997) and were discountinued due to weak sales. The bad boys were only made with the EVO engine. I wonder what has changed that they think this bike will sell this time.

I'm assuming that the interest in bobber/old school styling will drive sales of this bike up. I really dig it, in fact i just called a good friend of mine who is a salesman at HD. They get back from the show in Texas this wednesday. They're expecting five to come in relatively soon. I plan on putting a deposit down on one if the numbers are right and i can afford it.

Interesting. Looks like they raided the spare parts shed and put it together. Shoptroll - check your inventory.
Cool azz rat bike. Maybe a fat rear tire, spring seat and some apes on my Low Rider?

Like the new Cross Bones a lot, especially the blacked out parts and springer. Just needs a different rear fender and blacked out more retro looking pipes IMO. But still think the now discontinued '05-'07 Softail Classic Springer did it better.
