2008 Harley Davidson Cross Bones

[Hawg Dawg]

Harley-Davidson unveiled its latest bobber-style Softail this past weekend at the infamous Viper Room nightclub on the Sunset Strip. The tie-in to the Hollywood scene wasn't exactly clear, but a safe guess would be that H-D wants to make it known that the Cross Bones is one cool bike. And what better way to impress that image than to go where all the cool kids go. The other theme they wanted to hit upon was that of a dark scene, a theme that correlates well with what Harley calls "dark customs." If you haven't seen or been to the Viper Room, its exterior is entirely black with virtually nothing to indicate that it's a nightclub.

It was a scene full of young hipster types (including the quintessential loud, obnoxious guy), foxy ladies, plenty of media and free flowing booze and munchies. Yep, the Cross Bones' premiere was classic Hollywood, and in typical premiere fashion some big names were on hand. Big as in persons whose name is one half of the name on the bike. Big names like Willie G. Davidson and son Bill Davidson. When the el jefes come out, you know it's important to them.

I dig the Crossbones. Nice bike.

[_juggernaut_]

they look good in person, but i won't trade my Night Rod for one

[GAZOO!]

My dealer can't sell em. No one can figure out how to hang bags and fringe off of the damn thing.

The only thing I want to change on my cross Bones is the rear fender.
Oh, and I'd like a backrest.

HD sells bags for the bike (although a relocation kit is also required). I had them installed along with the old school luggage rack before I took delivery. LaRosa also makes smaller bags that don't require mods to the rear lights.
