Just for information purposes, but what do you guys think of this new factory stripped down, 2008 Springer "Cross Bones" model?

Seems like it 'slipped into the lineup' without a lot of notice....

Not a bad price either (for a Softail), with a MSRP of $16,795..

As they say; "Not Bad, Not Bad At All".....

Check out the below site and 'click' on Cross Bones..

WOW. Very sweet! They did a nice job on the retro look. I am glad to see they brought back the springer.I wonder why they release a new model now. You would think they would offer that as a 2009. I like this bike much more then the rocker.

 

I like this a lot, and would take it any day over the $21,000+ Rocker....

Didn't think they would ever release a Springer in a 'non-CVO' model, especially one stripped down like this...

Wonder if they have 'doubts' about the Rocker, and decided to release a retro-springer to test the market.

 

I like it.....I like it a lot.......

 

That is the sweetest scoot HD has put uot for a long time. I guessI gotta make room in the shop for another scoot. I just hopethe wifedon't get too mad.

 

I like the bike. Have you guys noticed HD continues make "retro" looking bikes. I really think HD should consider bringing back the old motors in a new "Retro motor product line". They should make a few bikes with either a modern standard Shovel, Pan or Knuckle.

 

I am really glad they brought back the Springer. It is one of my favorite Harleys, after the Street Bob of course.

 

I swear I was just thinking the other day that they shouldn't have discontinued the Springer Softail . . and then this came out today. Wierd!

 

More information, plus a '360 degree, walk a round' view..
