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.
