Cross Bones V Rocker
Now Im going to be biased asI have a Cross bones on order, but which is the better bike, I cant help but think the rocker is a Deuce with a fat rear end, and my local dealer reckons the Cross Bone is getting more attention, but a mate of mine has ordered one here in the UK and he has been given a delivery date of March 09 0ne whole year to wait, as he has been told they are building them to rder now

The "better" bike exists in the mind of the owner. Not sure what you want to accomplish here, but both bikes look great to different buyers.
You state the Rocker is a Deuuce. Why can't you call the Cross Bones a Springer with some black parts and bike tires? Most of HD bikes are variatoins on existing platforms. Rocker is probably a little more unique in that the rear end is totally new, but it really does not matter. Nothing really too new in their world. (Until they come up with a water-cooled touring model..my guess 2010)
Enjoy your bike and don't get caught up in the "my dad can beat up your dad" discussion[8D]

I agree, its a matter of preference, and they are clearly two different styles of bikes, I think the rocker is more of the oc style custom bike look, and the xbones is definitely the old school back to basics.
Ive heard comments at the dealer from customers standing near by the x bones, say they wouldn't buy it because there are other bikes in the hd line up with tons of chrome and bikes that come with bags,&accessories they could purchase for the same price or close. Which maybe true, but in the end will you be happy?

Fair comment SilverDawgit would be a very sad world if we all liked the same thing, of cause the cross bone is a revamped springer, and 99% of it comes from exsisting harley parts, and as 6165hd mentioned its a matter of preference, there both great bikes in there own right

RE: Cross Bones V Rocker
BTW,
One thing I do not like about the Rocker is the lack of accessories. Very limited, but I hope it improves from both the MoCo and the aftermarkets. I'm waitingon some pipe from Vance and Hines. Pretty quiet with the stock crap on. I'm going with the BR 2-2 unless something else flips my fancy. They should have them out in a month or so....
