Did they say they would sell them to you for 399?

No, I didn't ask, I just asked if they had the revolvers available and if so for how much, they responded that they have the complete set for 599 and that includes toe pegs, passenger pegs and hand grips and they are only sold as a complete set. So I'll ask, just don't know how to approach that one ya know..

Didn't ya say earlier that they sold a set on ebay for 399? maybe I'm mistaken but just use that as a guide line on the price, it never hurts to ask
(Donna and derek) had em on ebay for 399 and I was too late when I got around to transferring money to pay

I do agree! I do not notice real difference in balance between my K9 and Chopper. To be honest, I think Chopper is better ride. Only problem with me is the size, being 6.3 and 36" inseam Choppa feels bit small compared to K9.

Well that Fuse or breaker wasn't stopping a VR fire it had to go with the component. I honestly have no idea how the DOT let that suffice.
Either way the defective VR were only in early 05-06 recall was issued in Aug of 06 and it was only certain model numbers not all were bad. Bus bar was warped on some from the manufacturer not really Big Dog fault here necessarily.
If someone has a bike after that and it caught fire thats just bad luck.
I just put new compufire VR in both bikes this year...i think in 5 years I'll just replace them again. It's just $100 part and it will ruin your day when it goes bad. I change my clutch cable every few years because that will also ruin your day. Been there done that....

11,000 miles is pretty good for such a soft tire. Road crown would wear the left side not the Right.

Had an old model Avon, it was piece of shit. Then I had new Metzler, it was good for about 3000 miles, then it just gave up. In about 500 miles both sides cracked, it just went to pieces, I was lucky to limp to New Orleans to get a new Avon. Now it has about 5000 miles on it, looks half done. So I would say new model Avon is better. I keep 42 pressure.But which tire is the best Avon or Metzler?

I had an original Avon with 55 miles on -03 Choppa when I bought it. Few years ago. Rode it wery carefully from Wichita to Naples, then some there. It was so hard it showed no sign of wear after about 3000 miles. Then I took it to about 120 mph and tire just went to pieces 
. Had a new one waiting, just wanted to see how long the old tire lasts, I was checking it like every two hours. When it started to go it went in less than 50 miles. And yes, it was slippery!
The lesson is: old tire may look good, but it will kill you one day.
That bike had been in climate controlled environment (pedestal in Big Dog factory lobby) all it's life, so whatever anyone says about rubber not going bad if it's in cool and shadow is talking bullshit.
