FLSTSB SOFTAIL® CROSS BONES™
2008 HARLEY­DAVIDSON® MOTORCYCLES
YOU CAN FEEL IT IN YOUR BONES.
A not­so­subtle reminder of where the custom motorcycle came from. Stripped­off parts. Drilled Metal. Primer. A bike that
gets down to the bare bones of what motorcycling is all about. The old­school chopped front fender and retro air cleaner
cover. The smooth lowered suspension, closer to the road than any other Softail®. An air­cooled, rigid mounted, 1584cc Twin
Cam 96B™ balanced engine, with a blacked­out finish that’s pure badass. Strip down a bike to what really matters. You’ll feel
it in your bones.
