Ill call up Discovery channel and have them do another "Animal Face-Off"

You've seen the Nile Crocodile vs the African Lion but have you seen the Bad Boy vs the Crossbones!? Oh no their springer front ends are caught like braces on two high school teenagers!

If you want a softail with a narrow front tire, narrow rear tire, and a springer front end, just go buy a 15 year old bike and paint it black. Certainly there would be plenty of springer front ends available from all these idiots like me buying a Cross Bones and later deciding that it's too ugly to ride and scrapping it. Hell ya, just build your own Bad Boy, I'm sure there are plenty of the ugly rear fenders available too. They might be a little wide though, other than that, exactly the same.

Bad Boy - hands down.

Not a huge softail fan generally speaking but I'd give a nut for a 95/96 Badboy.

Badboy! Had a blue 95 and miss it. Not a fan of the Crossbones, or Rocker, for that matter.

I like the Crossbones better just for the seat and front tire. Otherwise they are a lot alike. I don't like the paint on either and they'd both look better with the fenders from a Deluxe. My current dream bike, once I have some spare money, is a Deluxe with the Crossbones seat kit.
