It is a Harley Bad Boy with the 96" motor and a spring seat. That is all it is... Seems Harley would have done better to have introduced it as a Bad Boy CVO instead of calling it the Cross Bones.

And a fat front tire and mini-apes. While those aren't "significant" things perhaps, to me it definitely has a completely different overall look than a Bad Boy. I don't think it's a bad looking bike, but the Bad Boy was awesome.

One thing I finally realized a few weeks ago . . . I thought I always hated the softail fenders and wideglide fenders. But the Bad Boys, older softails and wideglides always looked great to me (especially when lowered). I was getting a new front tire put on my bike at an Indy shop and they had an older wideglide that looked awesome parked right next to a newer softail and that's when it hit me . . those fenders just don't look quite right to me when they are really wide and covering big rubber. They look great on a more traditionally sized HD rear tire because that shape just looks funny to me when it is wide. That's totally personal opinion of course, but I was glad to finally figure out my mystery love/hate thing with that type of rear fender.

I *think* the pendulum is once again swinging back the other way so I would expect to see something with a relatively skinny rear tire coming from HD next year. A REAL Bad Boy reproduction would have sold like crazy in my opinion, complete with the original sized rear tire and a 21" front.

Interesting, Harley following the custom move to Bobbers? For me it the rear fender spoils it.
