If I could afford another bike, I'd probably have one of these... or go try to buy my Softail Springer Classic back.

ORIGINAL: FlankerUSMV M/C

It seems to me, all they did was take a springer, threw a different models rear fender on it and a new seat...and there ya go......basically a basic softtail with a different seat. I think the MOCO is trying to sell a custom bike out ofthe box, I don't know if it is working or not, but for me, these newer "custom or old school" looking bikes didn't hit the mark.
I was going to basically say the same thing....instead I'll agree with you 100%.

The thing that I really don't like about it is the sprung seat....I've never understood the reasoning behind putting a sprung seat on a bike with suspension.

Now I like the Rocker, I mean the Rocker without the two up seat.

Saw one in person at NTHD last week.

Not my cup-o-tea, not even close.

Like the Rockers, it should make a nice bar blaster. Bout it though.

I like it and agree with LeoHd, it would look better with an old school FLH hinged rear fender.

My dealer put a stock Softail solo seat on one is it really improved the look and feel of the "Bones". Lets you set down into the bike more. Cool!

LOEHD I agree with you 100%, the rear fender is all wrong for this bike. I would not buy one but a lot of guys would not buy a Street Glide so to each their own.

Personally...,I am not that cool on the looks ofthe V-Rod or Rocker but something about the Crossbones seems to do-it. Having said that, I wouldn't trade-in my RKon onebut I like the look of it none the less.

I was too busy admiringthe photo of me and my guitar on page 28!!!
Traded that bike in on a SG though - tired of the Oil leaks at the head
