So let's say you found a nice bagger...... What would you be willing to pay for it? I see what folks are asking, I know the bike is "rare" I also know the freaking things are almost 10yrs old now.
Shit, I'm starting to sound like NoH2O......
roadie1389, I had a 2006 Mastiff get stolen and I weighed my options K9, another Mastiff or whatever bigdog I could find. Hadn't really thought about a bagger because they were so rare. But one night while looking for any bigdog I could find I ran across a bagger on Ebay. So low and behold I found a used bagger, 15th anniversary in fact. It was in West Palm Beach and we all know what salt air does to these bikes. The guy was asking 13,999.00 for it. So I posted about it and a few members had seen this bike even a few went by and looked at it and expressed what all was wrong with it. Chrome on the bike was pretty much pitting and flaking, the billet aluminum was so tarnished there was no buffing it out. It had 3400 miles on it but other than that the motor sounded soild and rode very good. So after reading their commits and talking it over with friends that ride harleys, I took a trip to West Palm Beach. I only rode it 2 miles, but I knew within those 2 miles this was the bike for me. It had bags, a fairing, stereo, power better than a streetglide (I had test drove), it had it all. So, I bought the bike and rode it for about a month when I got an unexpected call from the sheriffs office. They had recovered my Mastiff, now it had been stripped down but the motor, belt drive and trans hadn't been. But during that month I was riding the bagger I had found a tinted longer windshield for the fairing, I also found a company to make a custom sissy bar, the mounting plates and backrest, I found out there is a difference between the 09 and 10 model bagger's mounting plate btw. At least that is what I was told by the maker of the sissy bar and mounts. Found a 2 up mustang seat, and then what solo seat will fit the bagger, S&S still makes many parts for the motor, venders off here make or can get other parts for the bagger also. The only things I've not found are replacment fairings and saddlebags, even tho someone on here did a custom job and added square bags to his and it still looks amazing. So don't let that they are rare hurt your choice in buying one, You actually have a bike to ride until a bagger becomes available in which ever color you like.
Now that I have my mastiff and my bagger and they are so alike in a lot of ways, tire sizes, body shapes as far as pro-street, they ride almost the same way. the fuel injection and rubber mounted engine is so much sweeter than my beefed up carb motor. But the Card motor has so much more power. I ride my bagger so much more than the mastiff. And now that cooler weather is here in S.C., I'll be very thankful of that fairing and windshield, and the bags to carry a jacket in. But I jumped on the first one I came across because I was without a bike. Mine was stolen Sept 14th 2018 and i bought the bagger on the 20th of Sept. and even though I've spent the purchase price of the bike then 16,000 in getting the bike completely chromed and a few upgrades, I don't regret buying this bike at all. Even tho I know I'd never get what I have in it, but I'm not trying to. this is a forever bike or until keeping it running is not an option. The only regret is I can't ride both of them at the same time lol. If you have a chopper, and a K9 is very similar to the chopper, try something new. wait for a bagger or jump on one while you can. Either way K9 or Bagger its a bigdog and you know you'll be happy.
