Ridgeback
The Ridgeback is Big Dog’s proud rigid chopper. No compromises to pure style here, but the Ridgeback is also a breeze to ride, even with that 300mm rear tire and an 17-inch rim. The Ridgeback moves thanks to a 117-inch V-twin and right side drive 6-speed tranny combination.
Pitbull
Redesigned from the ground up, the ’08 Pitbull has a contoured 4.6-gallon fuel tank that’s wrapped around a new rigid frame featuring thick tubing, a nifty and sinuous oil tank and a tire hugging rear tire. The Pitbull is powered by a 117-inch V-twin motor with 6-speed right-side drive transmission and rolls on oversized custom wheels and tires. The 20-inch back wheel is shod in 280mm rubber while the front wheel measures a whopping 23 inches in diameter and uses a 130mm tire.
Mutt
New for ’08, the Big Dog Mutt is a stripped-down cruiser with 80-spoke chrome wheels, a 250mm rear tire, a hidden-shock frame with 37 degrees of rake and a 3.8-gallon fuel tank. The Mutt may be priced low, but is still is powered by carbureted 117-inch V-twin motor that’s mated to a right-side drive 6-speed transmission for smooth operation.
K-9
Returning for ‘08 the popular K-9 is a stretched chopper with hidden-shock suspension, an extending telescopic front end with a 21-inch wheel and a massive 300mm rear tire that tides on an 18-ichn rim. The K-9 moves thanks to Big Dog’s 117-inch V-twin and a 6-speed, right-side drive transmission..
Mastiff
The ’08 Big Dog Mastiff is a long and low cruiser with only 4 inches of ground clearance, 2-inch-over forks, a 6-inch backbone stretch and 39 degrees of rake for a 8 ½-foot wheelbase. Using a hidden shock frame, the Mastiff is powered by a 117-inch V-twin motor and a right-side drive 6-speed transmission.
