Big Dog Motorcycles
 

I have been looking at these bikes latley. Does anyone own one? How do they ride? Are there better bikes for the money? I like the Chopper and I also like the new ridge back. If my wife decides to ride with me on a ridged will we get the hell beat out of us? Please help.

Thanks

i would look at American Ironhorse, maybe OCC, they were reasonable at one time, i don't know now, sense they got in TV land. The ridged is best in the flat lands like NV, AZ, in the city they will beat you up. the taller 230 rear tire helps. The Big Dog is a nice ride though.

Most bike for the money.

BIGDOG

One more

The pit bull is a beautiful bike but it is a hard tail. The mastif looks OK but would be better with the pitbull rear fender and 250 tire. Also I do not like how the exhaust sticks so far out on the side, easy to burn your leg.

This is for sale. Rubber mounted softtail. 100" S&S. Jims trans. High $20k's.

Here was one a poodle had in my garage for a month....

Isn't it called a Bad Dog? On the mirrors it said "A$$holes In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear" :D :D

Big dogs are nice, but not really a true "custom"... as are the ironhorse, OCC, WCC, etc... I have been looking into a few of these as well... I have found some smaller manufactures are more willing to work with you on what exactly you want and still are NADA listed. I found 2 specifically here in Orlando one is exotix cycles in Oviedo FL and the other is Pitbull in Orlando.

Member BIGCAT had a pitbull on the stage in his club during bike week. Like i said, I am looking and want something that later I can resell, but still get exactly what I want. When I sell my boat(have 2) I am seriously looking at having pitbull build me a bike. The Pitbull is a NADA listed bike as is the big dog's, and a true custom where you can pick the stretch and rake, as well as thje handle bars, wheels, controls, paint, motor, etc, etc....

I saw a few of the Dogs at a show last weekend. Looks like a pretty nice bike for the money compared to what others are offering. I'm a hard tail chopper guy myself. I don't have any problems with getting beat up, but I have a 250 rear tire (16 psi) that really takes the bite out of the ride. The one thing I don't like about the BD choppers is the elevation and rake of the front end. They elevate the tank way up then use very little rake (with extended forks) to give the illusion of having a long front end. While this makes the bike more controllable and easier to ride (no radical rake), it looks stupid IMHO. I really like the look of a stretched frame (about 4 inches) with an inch or two of stretch in the down tubes, forks extended about 12"-14", with 45-50 degrees of rake... now that makes for a bad ass bike! The big rake takes a little time to get use to, but after a couple of hours you're riding like a pro. This aint your mommy's kind of bike!:cool: :cool: :cool:

:cool:

I like the pitbull, nice looking bike.

Awesome Bikes - got one myself
 

I think the Big Dog's are a great bike. I just purchased a Mastiff a month ago. I shopped everywhere. Previous bike was a HD Springer Softtail. NO comparison between the two!

Iron Horse, Titan, Bourget...etc...are all real nice bikes, usually a little pricier and not as well recognized name to the average rider. so when you go to sell they can be difficult to turn. There are so many nice custom bikes, but sticking with a somewhat recognized name brand I think is better in the long run.

My dog Kick's A**, 107 S & S motor, 105hp at the rear wheel, it gets the looks trust me!

check out photo!

Lightningmike here is another guy who loves his bike!:D

I have this one for sale right now, if you are interested??

It's an '02 Pitbull with 1800miles on it...I love it, but just don't have the time to ride it.

You can e-mail me @ [email protected]

is it a pitbull motorcycle, or a bigdog and the pitbull model?

Sorry about that...It is a Big Dog Pitbull with the S&S 107 motor and several upgrades...

i love the look of the rigid's but i guess to old cause they just beat me up.
i would get a swing arm bike as that is what i have now and on anything over a 30 min ride the bike i had before would ruin me..

They are fast as hell. I have been riding Harley Davidson for 33 years and will always remain loyal to them. I have a 2003 Electra Glide classic and I raced the biggest, fattest bastard I have ever seen in my life. He was on a Big Dog and I don't know how that Motorcycle didn't bend in half. When the light turned green he was out of there like John Force with all the candles lit. Impressive!

Something else to ponder.

Is the Dealer where you by the bike going to be around to service it after the sale? I've seen many of them close down after a short period of time or change to other brands.

If you need warranty work done are they going to fix it or give you a big run around about it? I can't speak for all of the custom builders but some don't want to pay the dealers for the time they put in on fixing problems.

If you are away from home on the bike and you need parts to repair it or have it worked on who is going to do it? It is not like your going to take your custom bike to a Harley shop to be repaired on the road because the ones around here will tell you to get lost.

It is tough to match up parts on customs because you have no parts book to reference to get the parts you need. You can walk into just about any HD shop in the country and get what you need and be on your way.

I know this because I had a 98 Ultra Ground Pounder.
At the time I thought the company and dealer gave very poor support for their product.
I had Harleys before it and after it and like the fact that if I need something for the bike it is easily obtainable.

Don't get me wrong, I still love the looks of a custom bike. I just wanted to put my input in so you can check out the dealer to make sure they will be there for you in the future.

These bikes are pretty cool. You can buy them as a kit with everything including the oil and save a few thousand dollars.

I promised pics from the Easy Rider Bike show in January....

The Paul Yaffe bike was HOT!!!

This bike is from Bikers Blvd., about 10 minutes from my house. They have a Sportster I've been thinking about.

Wow, Thanks for the response. I have looked at WCC, and OCC They want big $$$$ for something I will use a couple times a month. You can now order the Big Dogs with bigger motors but I want the new 124 ss which they don't offer. The exhaust, wheels would be the first items to be removed among many other things. I hate when builders put polished with chrome, everything needs to be chrome. Well I hope I have a nice project completed in July, this is how long it will take Big Dog and the shop here to complete the bike.

Thanks,

Dustyn

Just get a Harley! :cool:

Then get one of these...
