Start with the Ridgeback 330mm back tire and put a 124 S&S in there. Offer all Chrome as an option. Build a bullet proof EHC for it. Perfect bike!

K-9 with a 131ci by JIMS with an Big air carb and a Baker torque box with hydraulic clutch actuator and drive brake and open primary. Damn I think I have a winter project now...

So what price range do you think they should start things off at?

30K to start with standard features of 117cc S&S EFI, electronic gas gauge standard, HD tranny, better hand controls, simple wiring system. :2thumbs:

Upgrade Options??:D
1) Chrome plating: Wheels ,hand controls, triple tree, Cam cover
2) A couple different color seat choices
3) 124cc/131cc motor
4)Open Primary
5) Custom paint
6)
7)

When I bought my Mastiff my wife wanted one but was unable to get it off the kickstand, so I think they should add to the line up with something like the lapdog or poodle or maybe across between a Jack Russell and a Shih Tzu and call it a Jack Shit. Just a thought.

I forgot to mention that we need better battery boxes. Something more robust where the tabs don't break. The ultimate would be metal.

:2thumbs:I like the idea of a smaller dog for the little ladies who want to ride their own bikes. My wife would probably like something called a Rat Terrier!

My thoughts are they did a lot right with their bikes.

Clearly, reliability is an issue, especially with the EE system, which must be addressed.

Thier business plan obviously has to be addreesed as well, more diverse models, price points perhaps.

I like the idea of more power train options. Other than that I am very happy with my bike..

They need to be in the same price range as a victory or HD for an entry level bike, but add packages.

Upgrade packs should be:
1. Billet wheels (wires are std.)
2. Chrome billet wheels
3. Chrome package
4. Paint package.

These packages should be deeply discounted at the time of purchase, but be available for purchase later at regular cost.

It is not an all or nothing world. People have different tastes and budgets. That needs to be catered to.

They need a entry level bike. Start at 16000 and a springer. I had a 113 in my Swift and have ridden a 124 a lot but I like the 107 for all around use. And a 5 gallon tank.
