Has anyone done a post showing the released wheel design to know what year BigDog someone has. And yes I know, people can change their wheels. I'm talking about what the bikes where released with...

No but we have exhaust threads so guess we can start a wheel thread.

My 03 Mastiff had RC Components "Sheriff" design and my 05 had BDM's own "Syith" (sp) wheels.

I know you could get Performance Machine wheels up until 07 I believe then they removed them from the accessory catalog.

:cheers:

Would be nice to at least know what the names are for each wheel design and what years they were on. Right now I'm catching hell trying to replace my rear wheel drive pulley.

I don't know the NAME of the wheel, but this is the standard 06 K9 wheel. Not to be confused with the 05 Chopper/Ridgeback wheels. When I see a BDM out, I typically can tell what make/model it is by wheel, but it's just all in my head really.

I think the 05 chopper wheels are the best damn wheels BDM has ever put out, especially if you chrome them.

I love my K9 but if I could go back in time and re-live my purchase, I'm not so sure I would be riding a k9 off the lot. Those choppers can flat out haul ass and maneuver. Doesn't take as much muscle to push them through corners and you get a bit more ground clearance.

Random trivia here, the k9s were so successful in 06 that Ridgeback orders dropped dramatically. The factory was stuck with a bunch of 06 Ridgeback wheels, production orders for K9s were through the roof, that is why the wheels switched mid year. That was what my dealer told me at the time anyway.

jbotts,
I have been considering having my wheels (05 Chopper) chromed and a few other parts also.
Don't know how much (ballpark) this will be.
Anyone already do this and can give an approx. $$$ ?
Thanks

One of my favorite features of my Limited Edition are the factory installed Roland Sands "Judge" wheels.
