Question about Ridgebacks?????

[spiderjason]

I wasn't very familiar with big dog until around 2007/2008... When did big dog start making the current Ridgeback model like they sold since at least 2008???? The one that pretty much looks like the K9 but rigid frame, inch smaller back rim and 330 back tire...

The reason why I am asking is because I see on ebay 2004/2005 that will say Big Dog Ridgeback or Ridgeback Chopper and they don't really look like the current ones especially as far as the 330 rear tire... That is one thing that I like the super wide back tire... I know in 2007 Big dog stopped making a bike call the chopper that pretty much looked like the K9 but that bike was a soft tail right?

05? Just a guess??

'08 was the first year to use the 330 rear tire. I do believe.

What size rear tire is on your 05 ridgeback?

 

[dnespolo]

05 was the last year of the chopper they come out with the k9 on 06 with a 250 mm tire and 300 on the ridgeback in 2008 they put a 300 on the k9 and a 330 on the ridgeback. In 05 the ridgeback already had a 300 I believe.

sorry 07 was the last year of the chopper it had a 250 mm in 06 they come out with the BDM (Balance Drive)

In 2004 the Ridgeback was left side drive with a 250

Ok ridgeback 04 and earlier was left side drive. In 05 it was right side drive, like the others but with a 300 tire. In 08 was the first year of the 330 tire.

correct my dumbass if I be wrong.

That's all the exact right information from what I understand! :2up:

Yep and there was no Ridgeback in 2007. That year was skipped.

Ok, thats sounds pretty much right from what I'm seeing... I see some that are right side drive... Some are left side drive... The 04/05 that I was looking at seemed to have 300 tires or smaller... At least it seemed that they wasn't as wide from the pictures...
