Hello
I have an opportunity to trade my Arlen Ness Victory Cross Country for a 2009 Big Dog Wolf. The wolf only has 5k and is in great condition. The only issue is it has a car tire on the rear. My Victory has 20k and is in great condition. My ask from you guys is should I trade for the wolf ? My main concerned is I will not be able to get parts for the X wedge motor for service. The rear tire I’ll buy knowing it’s going to cost about 1700$ from some guy up north but the parts concern me. My ask is should I trade bikes ?
Insight I do not take long rides mostly around town and my trips are usually 150 miles max. I put 2-3k miles on a bike a year so I’m not at all an everyday or other day rider. Also my wife will never ride on a bike either which has me seriously considering the trade

The reason there is a car tire on it is that the rear tire is no longer being made. You may find someone that has one, but you are going to pay an arm and a leg. They will already be several years old at this point. As far as the X-wedge, it is no longer being made either. I'm not sure how many parts S&S still makes for it. The wolf is a pretty bike, but I'm not sure I would risk it.

That is the last BigDog motorcycle I would ever buy or trade for. And I love me some BigDog motorcycles. Something messes up on your motor & you got a beautiful bike that’s useless. Not to mention the rear wheel issue. That would be a deal breaker for me on its own. To each his own. If you trade for it I wish you the best of luck.

Keep looking. That was the most beautiful bike BDM ever made but they forgot to look forward. Too many unnecessary changes that makes it just a great piece of garage art. Sad really. If not for those 2 issues I would have one.

One of the old ones.
I know an engineer at S&S and just texted him a few minutes ago. He says they do not have much inventory to support the xwedge engine. That will only get worse over time. Consensus: no deals for a Wolf (arguably the most beautiful Big Dog ever produced) unless you want a garage art piece. A damn sorry end, IMHO

Funny, I haven't been on here but a few times since I bought my Indian Challenger, but I can confirm that it is pretty much impossible to sell a Wolf. I gave up years ago, and now I just occasionally ride and clean mine. Damn shame these models got orphaned.
