I had a buddy go pick this up for me and after looking at the pictures it apears this is a K9 soft tail? It is a 2006 model. I know this is a stupid question but.. I figured some of you could verify what it is. Guy said it was a hard tail that it did not have shocks but after looking at pics of the Ridgeback this looks like a K-9? Thanks in advance for you help!

$10K is definitely a good price! (I'd have bought it!) :2thumbs:

I don't want to be a potential "stick in the mud" here but it seems a little weird that the guy you bought it from wouldn't know what he was selling considering the model would be on the title (and in the VIN), doesn't it? If he told you it was a hardtail and didn't have any shocks but didn't specifically say it was a Ridgeback I'd take a look under the bike to make sure the shocks weren't replaced with something else or that there weren't some welds where there shouldn't be... :confused:

Great find just the same! :cheers:

yeah I know what you mean about him not knowing! He said it said K-9 on the title. He never told me it was a ridgeback he just kept saying the frame was one piece. So I assumed it was a Ridgeback. I live in Va, but working in Kuwait right now for 17 more days.. I had my buddy go to NY and pick it up.
Since I posted the about It has been picked up. The shocks are there and everything is good! I had not talked to my buddy when I first posted this to get details.. He had just sent me the pics. Now I have talked to him and everything is great!!! Thank you guys for the comments! I am a very happy camper right now! :)
