I fell in love at first sight , being new to Big Dogs I have never sat on a K9 and to be honest I was a little intimidated by the looks and design of the bike. When I saw this bike for sale and it was so close to my home I had to go look at it but I told myself you probably wont like the feel of the bike but just go check it out. Show room condition, I am not kidding it looks brand new. 08-K9 Rides like a dream.

She is beautiful and so well balanced when you sit on her. Pictures do not do this Dog justice, at all !!

if you feel cramped in the legs, what you have is the "push" seat, so you can change that out for a standard seat and gain a few inches of stretch.

The story behind this Dog is the guy I bought it from bought it last year from a collector and was sitting in a warehouse with over Fifty other bikes. He took it to his mechanic and had all the fluids changed and updated to Big Dogs newest Ehc. He put a couple hundred miles on it and I guess he decided it wasn't for him. He has other bikes also. The tires are dated 06 so they are the original tires and I will be changing them out even though they look new.

I feel I took a chance with the bike only having 620 miles on it and sitting for so long but you can tell it was well taken care of over the years. He said his mechanic verified the miles and even took the rocker covers off to check. But when you walk up to the bike you can tell it has not been on the road much. Even laying down and looking under the bike it just looks new.

There is also 2 1/2” foot extend controls
Thanks, I knew about the foot extensions. I'm only 6 ft tall but I have size 14 feet and it doesn't match up well. I was thinking about the floor boards that some of the other guys have tried and said it works well. My foot is either resting on the brake or my heel is to far back hitting the exhaust.

I have been on the bike for about 30 miles so far two lane twisty roads . The toughest thing so far have been the turns. Any tips on making turns easier? its very different from regular bikes.
