Cowracer........You sound like a little BITCH who cant have what they want. Go buy you a BigDog...OH WAIT you cant afford one. Now we see why your wimpering and giving that guy hell. I never heard anyone pull up beside me in my truck and laugh and say who the hell do you think you are. You didnt build it. Who gives a **** who built what. Cool is cool cowhead. If your cool your just cool and thats it. One could be cool on a honda(yea right).
HEY COW ! Who do you think you are on that Harley? Your a poser cause you didnt build it. Give me a break. Get off this guys *** man.
Cool is cool. I've seen guys on a Broguette and they looked geekie. I've seen them on a bigdog and look geekie. On a Harley.

Wow! What a list of problems! I promise I'll never complain about my SG again! That list really makes me happy that I own a Harley.
Bigdogproblems, I'm sorry for your woes, you must have more patience than most. I would have made that bike dissapear a long time ago. Even if you can't re-coup all your cash you will still be ahead of the game if you were to pay lawyer fees to get the bike legally returned.
My .02, dump it and get yourself a harley!

some of you struck a thought about bd and customs that is absolutely right. as i stated before i donated my custom with 23+4kin fixits to charity to cut my losses and avoid long term storage,also did not want to deal with the hassel of selling(with a clear concious/liability)
and taking a beating$$.
They are cool! and IF you have the money to DUMP IN IT thats different or you are an ace mech w/shop/time..ect . so my experience with this was a lesson. i just got to a point were i wanted something more reliable/supported and safe to take on long trips. not to mention INSTANT resale/trade value anytime anywhere. The bike had 17k painful miles on it and was ready to blow.
you made a list of your problems with bd,well mine was very long too. I AM TO EMBARREST to also mention the times it almost killed me. fires,fender flying off at 65m/h ,several shorts that sent a bazzillion volts thru me!!.. im just getting started.
but conterpoint is very true..rich,hardley ride it,(middle name is jessie james),have 20 other bikes to play with.then i to would be laughin.

How many times have you quietly, or even out loud, scoffed or ridiculed somebody who drove a stock Harley-Davidson, as you sat astride your great, thumping Big Dog? I bet its been more than once...

We got one of those types at work. He used to sneer at us stock HD guys

Why are you assuming that BD is like your idot coworker???

I'm too old and fat to be cool. I'm ok with that. I have nothing left to prove to anyone, unlike some. I dont need a $40,000 ***** extension to impress anyone.

The man bought a Big Dog, and now he is burning up the internet looking for somebody, anybody to help him with fixing the multitude of problems with that bike. I have nothing against Big Dogs, per se. But anyone who buys one and expects it to be as problem free as a HD is deluding themselves.

I dont know BigDogProblems, and I was in error to automatically lump him in with other custom owners I know. You have my apologies, sir.

Holy Bone, Batman!
I already sent in my Christmas list, and I had no idea The Extension had been invented! [sm=jawdrop.gif]

Dang, you'd have to sell a Big Dog to get that much $ for one though.... maybe there's a Honda version available for a fraction of that price.

Why don't we ever hear about these things???!!!

I think that his problems are something that needs attention. Should a $40,000.00 bike have problems, no. Any new vehicle should not have problems, but they do. Is it an extention, who cares. If I had the money I would own a chopper, Lambo, Corvette, ect, ect, ect. Right now I have a 93 Suzuki Intruder 800 and getting a 99 UC. If it were not for my wife enjoying riding, I would be more interested in a chopper. But her comfort is more important to me. I think there are people that have both a bagger and a chopper, so what he is asking for fits in to this forum. BigDogproblems, I hope someone can help you with this problem.
