The rear fender and chin spoiler appear to be from a Bulldog, the front struts are from a Mastiff. As far as the diamond cut on the motor, it did come on the Bulldog, but I seen it on the Mastiff also. My best guess that it is a Bulldog that the front struts were changed.

I just noticed it was an EFI bike also, I don't think the Mastiff in 07 came with EFI.

07 was the first year for efi on the Bulldog. Might want to check and see if the bike has been wrecked and they with standard front end, Also looks like the struts have been blacked out. Hope this helps

Everything on the pic seems to be a Bulldog except for the front end. The front fender and the fender brackets are from a bulldog. 07 Bulldogs had air ride i believe? Someone correct me if I'm wrong

I agree with pknowles, you might want to do some research to see if the bike has been in an accident. The rear struts were originally chromed. I think it's an 07 Bulldog that someone has changed the front end.

not all bulldogs had air ride that was extra . looks like bulldog with wrong forks. check with bdm p with build number. engin parts change with date. ( rockers and heads, ect)

Personally, I think it's a little odd that a dealership (see http://www.bigdogbiker.com/forums/s...-bulldog-8-700-miles-14-900-a.html#post577356) wouldn't know what they're selling. And, if that is the case, not sure I'd touch it with a 10 foot pole specially if it appeared to be made up of different parts! Can you say "reconstructed"? :down:

Can't you run the VIN to see what the bike is? And to see if it has been in any accidents?
