Big Dog Shock Absorbers

New Big Dog Shock Absorbers

Installing new rear shock absorbers for the Big Dog motorcycle. Although this video shows the shocks being installed on a Big Dog K-9 model motorcycle, actually, the shock absorbers shown here can also be used on a number of the Big Dog motorcycle models as well as certain Harley-Davidson models.

It was time for new shocks for my Big Dog k9 motorcycle.The ride had become rough and on a number of occasions out here in Southern California with our crappy roads, hitting the slightest bump, it could bottom out. (more…)

Motorcycle Transmission Problem

Big Dog Motorcycle Motorcycle Transmission Problem

Proper maintenance is the key to maintaining your motorcycle.    

The Big Dog motorcycle k9 model cost about $34,000. But, whether you have a Big Dog or a Honda, you want to take care of it in order to avoid costly repairs and to ensure it’s maximum longevity.

In this video you see that this Big Dog motorcycle needs a complete transmission rebuilt. Yes, this is going to be very expensive to say nothing of the riding time lost. But, worst of all, the problem may never have occurred if the owner or the owner’s mechanic followed the manufacturer’s specifications for the type and the amount of transmission gear oil to use.

Insta360 One X Chopper Motorcycles Ride

Insta360 One X Chopper Motorcycles Ride

Is the Insta360 One X the best 360° video camera for your motorcycle rides? Well, in my humble opinion at the current time it definitely is!


This camera is very small fits in your shirt pocket and yet takes stunning 5.7 K video! The best advantage of using a camera like this for your motorcycle rides is the fact that it is like having a camera person riding along with you. You really don’t have to worry about pointing the camera at any particular subject or direction because at 360° camera like this films everything. In the software that the company provides you can then edit the video to show the views that you feel are most interesting.

When watching this video, at times you’ll see that it seems like the camera is floating over my helmet. In reality, the camera is attached with a GoPro type attachment to the helmet. (more…)

Big Dog k9 Motorcycle

This is a 2017 Big Dog k9 motorcycle.

Many motorcycle enthusiast consider the Big Dog K9 motorcycle to be the best factory built chopper ever made. The K-9 was the top-of-the-line, the flagship motorcycle for Big Dog.

In my personal opinion I believe the Big Dog K-9 and the American Ironhorse Texas Chopper are both tied for the distinction of best factory built chopper motorcycle. Big Dog Motorcycles shutdown making motorcycles in 2011 and a couple years later went bankrupt. Just a few years ago, the company came back, though on a much scaled-down operation. Up until 2011, the K-9 motorcycle came with the S&S 117 ci engine. Since the company has been back in operation the K9 motorcycle now comes with the S&S 124 ci engine.

The S&S 124 cubic inch V124 engine  has 10.8:1 compression • 4-1/8″ bore X 4-5/8″ stroke, electric compression release, S&S Super G carburetor and two year warranty

Custom Chopper Motorcycles

Video slide show – Custom Chopper Motorcycles

What chopper rider doesn’t like to look at other cool bikes?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: A chopper is a type of custom motorcycle which emerged in California in the late 1950s. The chopper is perhaps the most extreme of all custom styles, often using radically modified steering angles and lengthened forks for a stretched-out appearance. They can be built from an original motorcycle which is modified (“chopped”) or built from scratch. Some of the characteristic features of choppers are long front ends with extended forks often coupled with an increased rake angle, hardtail frames (frames without rear suspension), very tall “ape hanger” or very short “drag” handlebars, lengthened or stretched frames, and larger than stock front wheels. The “sissy bar”, a set of tubes that connect the rear fender with the frame, and which are often extended several feet high, is a signature feature on many choppers. Perhaps the best known choppers are the two customized Harley-Davidsons, the “Captain America” and “Billy Bike”, seen in the 1969 film Easy Rider. (more…)
