I like the Crossbones, but don't like the skull they stuck on the oil tank this year.

 

Agreed. It's a bit overkill. I'm sure it's easy to remove though.

 

I like the classic appearance of it, some riders like the higher bars, some dont. A bike reflects your personality and is like women... some like red heads, some like blondes.

I like the seat and the springer stuff, not my choice but I like it. The phat tires are also pretty kewl. Old school look with modern day tecnology. I dont think its ugly.

 

They clear coated right over the sticker. I think the options on that are to repaint the oil tank or get a bigger sticker.

 

I didnt like it at first but if you check out a few guys on here they have made it look great, like cheesecake, or cammy5477, jisham is getting his looking good too

 

I take it you've been around Harleys for awhile. What kind do you ride, or if you don't have one yet what kind do you think is the best looking?

 

The only three things I don't care for on it are the bobtail fender, the plastic under the seat (why not metal?) and the skull & bones on the oil tank. Other than that, I think it's a very cool retro-bobber.

 

Personally, I like the x-bones myself. If I were getting a second bike, it would be a contender to fill the slot.

 

I thought they were trying to capture an old time image and that a full hinged rear fender would have been in order. Not sure how I felt about the mini apes vs a lower profile set of handle bars...

I like the direction it is going though. I'd own one. Always did like the harley wide springer.

 

The hinged fender was one of the first things to get trashed when the post WW2 boys "bobbed" a bike.
