About Harley-Davidson Softail® Cross Bones™

The 2011 Harley-Davidson Cross Bones FLSTSB is an old school bobber. The custom bobber has the classic lines of a vintage hardtail with hidden motorcycle shocks. Hidden inside the bike, these horizontal shocks are a signature of the Softails. The FLSTSB Cross Bones sprung seat has vintage bobber motorcycle style and will keep you comfortable with the high tech filler. Learn more about the Harley Cross Bones custom bobber features and see pictures of this bobber. If this style isn't what you have in mind take a look at other Harley-Davidson Softails, including the Heritage Softail Classic.

Key Features

AUTHENTIC STYLING

Old-School Bobber Look

Cross Bones™

The Harley-Davidson® Cross Bones™ motorcycle is a raw, stripped-down custom motorcycle with authentic post-war bobber details. Slammed low and solo, the re-engineered sprung seat puts you in the saddle of a true throwback bike with all the comforts of a modern ride. Up front you got the fat front tire hardly covered by a chopped fender, mini ape-hangers, a blacked-out headlamp and Springer® front end—this retro front end oozes a nostalgic bobber style with custom pin striping.
From wheel to black laced wheel, this bike is non-stop old-school bobber. The retro air cleaner cover is black and bold. The bobtail rear fender with black supports and Softail rear suspension mimics the clean lines of a vintage hardtail frame but offers the comfort of a modern suspension that's tucked under the chassis. And finishing it up, the slash-cut mufflers sound off the distinct Harley-Davidson big twin rumble you can only get with The Motor Company. Period.

Mini "Ape-Hanger" Handlebar

Cross Bones™

Grab hold of the stainless steel mini ape-hanger handlebar and put your fists 8 inches up in the wind—it'll take you back to the good old days of post-war bobbers. And for that bare bones, bobber look, the wires are routed inside the steel.

Hidden Rear Shocks

Cross Bones™

If you want a comfortable bike but love that rigid-suspension look, you've come to the right bike. We've kept all the modern comforts where they belong—below the surface of a rad, vintage-looking bike. You get the classic lines of a vintage "hardtail" frame with the horizontal rear shocks hidden in the guts. It's a signature rigid look, and you'll only find it on a Softail® model.

Wide Rear Tire

Cross Bones™

The beefy 200mm rear tire on the Cross Bones™ model goes the distance with its old-school style and powerful attitude. And with a ton more tire on the road, you don't end up short-changing your grip through turns and other low-speed maneuvers.

Tank-Mounted Console

Cross Bones™

For 2011, the Cross Bones™ speedometer face boasts an even bigger, bolder display for the odometer and offers up more information on the fly, like an ancillary display for gear and rpm.

Premium Paint

Cross Bones™

Up to two times thicker than the competition, custom quality paint comes standard on all Harley-Davidson® motorcycles. Deep clearcoat layering. Bigger metal flakes. Unique effects. Skimping simply is not in our vocabulary.

Hand Finished Fuel Tank

Cross Bones™

All Harley-Davidson® fuel tanks are finished by hand—that's what makes them stand out from the competition. Their seamless design and unmatched style are unique among all motorcycles on the road. The tanks are one of the first and last things people notice when they lay their eyes on a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle—so we make it worth their time.

ICONIC ENGINE

Twin Cam 96B™ Engine Heritage

Cross Bones™

The knowledge of what makes an engine truly move a rider runs deep at The Motor Company, and it was put to good use when we created the Twin Cam 96B™ counter-balanced engine. We sweated bullets perfecting every cubic inch, pushing design and technology forward.
And we did it all without compromising one bit of Harley-Davidson's unique styling. Evolved, yet carrying on the legacy of the Flathead, Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution® and Twin Cam 88® engines that came before. The performance and durability are a direct result of the untold miles logged on the V-Twin since 1909, and the proud heritage that comes from a century's worth of commitment to life on two wheels.

Twin Cam 96B™ Engine Innovation

Cross Bones™

Fire up the air-cooled, rigid-mounted Twin Cam 96B™ counter-balanced engine and feel the low-end torque unleashed for a smooth ride. Thanks to the lightweight piston design, delivery of the added power is more refined than ever. Then put your foot on the shifter and feel how the engine and Six-Speed Cruise Drive® transmission were designed to work together. Six speeds. A strong driveline and strong internal parts. Low routine maintenance. And a low cruising rpm couldn't feel better.

Pure Harley-Davidson Styling

Cross Bones™

Feast your eyes on the Twin Cam 96B™ counter-balanced engine and there's no mistaking its roots. This is authentic Harley-Davidson style through and through with an attention to detail you won't find on any other bike.
The black powder-coated engine looks menacing with black cylinders and cylinder heads that are topped off with brilliant chrome rocker covers. Rigid-mounted and air-cooled, the 1584cc Twin Cam 96B™ engine provides increased power, smooth performance and a maintenance-free built-in primary auto chain tensioner. It's a jewel machined out of metal. Pure. Dripping with power.
From the classic edge of the cooling fins to the clean lines of cases and covers—the Twin Cam 96B™ engine makes an ironclad statement to holding on to what's right and staying true to what satisfies the rider.

Six-Speed Cruise Drive®

Cross Bones™

You want a ride that rumbles—not begs for mercy—when you lean on it a little. The Six-Speed Cruise Drive® transmission provides smooth, quiet shifting and reduces engine speed on the highway, so you get a better match between engine turnover and road speed. It's a rare ride when a bike responds like this, and a low growl goes a long way when you're opening up the road ahead.

TECHNOLOGY

H-D® Smart Security System

Cross Bones™

The factory installed next-generation security system features a hands-free fob that automatically arms and disarms the vehicle electronic security functions as you approach and walk away from the bike. Stick the fob on your ignition key ring and let it do all the work. It's this attention to details and security that make Harley-Davidson® motorcycles unique.

Artfully Hidden Technology

Cross Bones™

Harley-Davidson leverages the latest in technology without compromising style and function. That means we hide electronics. The whole wiring harness is skillfully routed behind the jewels of the bike—the tank, engine and all the other eye-popping features you want to see. It's just another way The Motor Company goes the extra mile to give its bikes that premium, top-of-the-line fit and finish.

Intuitive Controls

Cross Bones™

Hand controls on a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle are incredibly intuitive. The turn signals are self-canceling and, based on the speed and angle of the motorcycle, they know how long to stay on. Engaging the controls quickly becomes second nature so you can focus less on turning off your signal and more on basking in the freedom of the ride.

HANDLING

Dunlop® Tires

Cross Bones™

The fat MT90 front tire on the Cross Bones™ motorcycle is built with a three-ply polyester casing with two fiberglass belts. And the wide 200mm rear tire provides a confident feeling of sure contact with the road, and excellent traction under braking. And since they're from Dunlop®, you know you're wrapping your premium rollers in quality rubber.

Tuned to Be Ridden

Cross Bones™

Harley-Davidson® motorcycles are different from any other bike out on the road. There's a balance to them. The steering, the maneuverability—it's all in concert. And each Harley-Davidson® model is tuned differently to create a unique riding experience for each individual no matter which bike they swing their leg over. Let's face it, we didn't get to where we are by being like everyone else.

COMFORT

Full-Length Rider Footboards

Cross Bones™

Your boots were made for riding, in any way you see fit. Our full-length footboards boast a tried and true design that's stood the test of time. Plenty of foot positions for your taste and comfort. Rubber vibration isolation for a comfortable ride. And heel-toe shifting for confident shifting every time. It takes a few rides, but once you've gotten used to the smooth heel-toe rhythm, you'll never give it up. The toes of your boots won't take the same beating, either.

Engine Idle Temperature Management Strategy

Cross Bones™

Our motorcycles are built to be ridden. A lot. So that means that rider comfort is top of mind. Always. With the Engine Idle Temperature Management Strategy (EITMS) feature, the motorcycle automatically cuts fuel and fire from rear cylinder when idling, which helps reduce engine heat felt by rider and passenger. This feature can easily be turned on by your dealer.

Seat Engineering and Design

Cross Bones™

The seat is home for Harley-Davidson® motorcycle riders. They want a seat that has unique style without sacrificing comfort. Because of that, Harley-Davidson invests a lot of time in researching, designing and testing seats so that every bike has just the right saddle.
