I'd toss a springer and fat tire on the train and maybe some air shocks and ride it until it or I died. I wanted a train when I went to buy and discovered it was discontinued in 09 and I was buying in 10. I bought my WG and love it but there is a soft spot in my heart for the train.

I love my x-bones!
Ok guys as most of you might know ive been thinking of trading my 09 Nighttrain for a 11 Crossbones. Well the dealer called me and just told me he has just got a black one in like i was looking for. He also told me the CrossBones is now being discontinued!! I guess my biggest concern is getting a discontinued bike will have negative issues like springer mateinence issues and trade value and aftermarket goodies coming to a hault for the bike and who knows what else.. I know it affects trade because when i was wheeling and dealing with my Train that was the dealers excuse.. they keep saying "well we only can give you this much because it is a discontinued model". Also the reason im even thinking of trading is because i have a jacked up lower back and the mini apes,floor boards and fatter front tire just make for a more comfortable ride. I thought about just adding the apes and stuff to the Train and making it comfortable but for the money it will cost it seems better just to get the new bike with all the stuff i need on it already..plus it will be a new bike with new warranty and such! Any last thoughts on this would be appreciated!!! Keep the Train or get the Bones??
The Cross Bones is very versatile. It can be dressed up as a bagger, put a "Brawler" type seat on it and make it a cruiser, etc..... Check out the cross bones threads in here and view some of the sweet mods being done! Unless you are looking for a "Goldwing" styled HD, the Bones is the Bomb! I am also NOT a fan of fairings and windshields. The bones is the best looking "non-windshielded" bike in the 96" line IMHO!
