The 2008 Crossbones

Harley-Davidson's Cross Bones is one of the Softail's new additions based on the pre-war bobbers.
Key features include:
An air-cooled, 1,584cc Twin Cam 96B powerplant that produces 87.9 ft-lbs of torque at 2,750 rpm
A six-speed Cruise Drive transmission
An adjustable sprung solo seat that sits as low as 26.6 inches
Straight shot exhaust with chrome slash-cut mufflers
A 200mm rear tire
Gloss Black cat-eye tank console with a new speedometer face
Weighing 737 lbs in "running order," the Harley-Davidson Softail Cross Bones isn't the nimblest of motorcycles, but its bobber styling cues and retro details effectively reinforce the nostalgic style that typifies the Harley-Davidson brand.
The Cross Bones boasts ape-hanger style handlebars, springer front suspension with leading link forks, and a considerable height of 49.4 inches.

Harley-Davidson Softail

THE SPRINGER SOFTAIL CLASSIC
The Harley-Davidson have designed the softail frameto look like the hardtail bikes of the past, while still accomadating the comfort of rear suspension. The shock absorbers are positioned along the axis of the motorcycle, smartly tucked away under the transmission.
There are several Harley-Davidson models with the Softail frame, including the Softail Standard, Custom, Springer Softail, Heritage Softail, Heritage Springer, Night Train, Deluxe, Deuce, and Fatboy. These motorcycles have the same engine, transmission and frame with the exception of the Deuce.The engines on these softail models arn't rubber mounted,as this led to more vibration.To compensate for this, current Softail models use a counterbalanced version of the Twin Cam engine instead of the regular Twin Cam engine used in the Touring and Dyna models
The Softail range is the only range of Harley-Davidson motorcycle that offers a choice of front suspensions within the range.
