I had my share of typical 2005 chopper problems, but BDM has taken care of all of them and I still love the bike. Yes I have Harleys too and although they have been a little more reliable than the dog, no one has ever taken pictures or rolled down their window to tell me what a great looking Harley I have... But I'm ALWAYS getting compliments on the chopper. It's all about personal choices and for me, I'll keep the dog!!!!

gas man, i did the same thing you did traded for reliability. after purchasing a used 05 chopper with 4,000 miles i put another 6,000 miles on it, all i can say is thank god it was still under waranty. pcb starter board, starter, clutch, speedo. then with the warranty about to run out the tranny starts making a weird noise. i drove it to baton rouge harley big dog and asked what could i traded it for. they said this 07 street glide rental bike with 6,000 miles. i said ok.
the street glide is currently about to turn 30,000 miles and the rear oxygen sensor went out that's the only problem i have had with the bike.
i would love to have another big dog chopper as the ride and looks were great. rode from baton rouge to leeds, al 432 miles and felt like i could have kept going. i am just not a good enough wrench to own one of these things.
SO WTF do you want boy a medal or a chest to pin it on. Go cry on someones elses board weirdo and buy yourself another used Harley one for each Asshole seems like you have two to them and both stink :roll::roll::roll::roll:

My 05 was just bought 8 months ago with 1700 miles on it. I've had my share of issues.The bike hadn't even seen a dealer since it came off the show room floor. I had 5 or 6 recalls and service bulletins to deal with on top of other issues. But the looks it gets and the compliments, ---WOW--- out way the problems 100 times over.
my 2002 harley was too dependable and too normal.
This big dog isn't any different acting than my 1974 amf Super Glide Which i finally sold after 17 years. Who do you think made harley what they are today. How about the guys that had the amf bikes that had to eat shit from the jap bike guys every week. We outlasted them and practically disovled there whole jap brand with our issue ridden harleys. Then harley gets there shit together and most forget what it was like.
big dog is a classic motorcycle and no matter what the future might hold for the company these bikes will always be sought after. They've made there mark in the production motorcycle world in a remarkable 15 years.

I wonder if he's chopchop again?
But why the hell does he have to drag me into it?
But seriously, I'm not sure why most here get so sensative about people talking badly about BDM bikes. A little criticism can go a long way with many things in life. If you can't take some wondering spoof person ranting, I'm worried about your www surfering. You should not take the internet so seriously. There are allot of these out here.
Bottom line it should simply be

i did not join to put anyone down, i joined in for opinions on the reliability of the 05 chopper because i have a chance to buy one at a good price. i realize there are lemons with everything u buy so i was just inquiring as to the trouble i had with mine as normal or abnormal. also, if i want attention all i have to do is ride around naked and let my 7 1/2 incher flap around.
