Obviously the Crossbones is not an original idea, but rather something Harley-Davidson brought back (with some changes) now that the craze for black is hip and popular. The original was the "Bad Boy". What's everyone's opinions on the BAD BOY vs. the CROSSBONES as far as looks and styling are concerned. (Yeah I know some of you are going to be biased because you own either of the two.)

1995 Bad Boy...


1996 Bad Boy...




And of course the 2008 Crossbones...

 

well, I own a crossbones, and I would have passed it up for a 95 bad boy in a second.... I will own one someday...

 

I like em both except for the rear fender. Lookn at buyn a Crossbones in the future first mod will be the rear fender.

 

I'd love a cross bones someday

 

Got to love the bad boy, dealer has one on display, I have to look at it every time I am there. Just one of those unique pieces of harley history

 

Bad Boy hands down. IMHO the cross bones looks likethechubby, uglyyounger brotherof the Bad Boy.

 

Bad Boy all the way.

 

bad boy hands down, harley needs to come up with a replacement for that ugly piece of plastic under the seat [:'(]of the cross-bones and it will look a lot better.

 

I'll be different, I like the cross bones more.
I would change the rear fender, pipes into 2-into-1's and put drag bars on it.

The Bad Boy just looks like any other softtail just with a springer front end imo.

 

badboy for sure
