Rocker, just like the 240 rear and the 37.5 degree rake, great chassis to start your own idea of what a H-D should be.

I had the same decision to make.....
did I want a new style chopper or an old sckool bobber...

I spent a few hours looking at each bike.... thinking of what I would change to make it "mine"
The XB won.... but only slightly.....

IMO they are completely different.... which one speaks to you more???

I would go with the Cross Bones. The Rocker just does nothing for me.

One of each! I'd like to see a Crossbones with more of a Softail Springer front wheel instead of the fat one.

Just out of curiosity, what does the crossbones do that the rocker doesn't?

If I could, I would meld the two and get the Cross Rocker (aka Crocker )

Personally.......I'd go with a Xbone. There's just more available "stuff".
I went a totally different way than most of the folks on here with mine. But the biggest complaint I get from my buddies is that every time we ride somewhere and make a stop..........It takes forever to get going again for all the attention it draws.




Darn it!
