Harley Davidson FLSTSB Softail Cross Bones (2008 – 2009)

Harley Davidson FLSTSB Softail Cross Bones (2008 - 2009)

The new Harley-Davidson FLSTSB Softail Cross Bones cuts a menacing profile with its authentic custom bobber styling and dark twists.

Riding the Softail Cross Bones is an emotional experience, thanks to its retro look, black and polished Twin Cam 96B powertrain, 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission, and unique Softail suspension. The bike’s post-war era bobber styling cues, such as the sprung solo seat and half-round rider footboards, add to its rebellious charm.

With its raw finishes and stripped-down custom creativity, the Cross Bones is a bold addition to the Harley-Davidson family of motorcycles. It’s a true reflection of the brand’s commitment to innovative technology and content that makes every ride magical and transformative.
