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…)

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
