ADVICE PLEASE 05 Bulldog

[NZBigDog]

I'm trying to find as much as I can about the 05 Bulldogs.
I currently have an 02 Mastiff and have worked on a 02 Bulldog, but I realize that BigDog had some major changes from 04 onwards.
I am looking at buying a 05 Bulldog but would like to know more about the problems that are associated with that year and model. I know a lot about the 02
Im not too worried, I just like to look into things first.

Who has, or has had a 05 Bulldog, what do I need to look out for? Are there general maintenance things I should look at.

As far as iam concerned 05 was one of the worse for big dogs,started cutting corners,but if the previous owner dealt with them accordingly,u have nothing to worry about.

what things did they start doing that made them bad?

had no issue with my 2005 bulldog till just recently lost all electrical power last weekend and did not have a chance to dig into problem, I turned the key on hit start button and it sounded like battery was weak clicked once the everything went out no lights anywhere.
But I have own the bike since it was new and this maybe the first major issue I had with the bike.
