Springer Softail Custom
Big Dog Motorcycles?
Anyone have experience with these bikes? I’m just curious about reliability, comfort, etc. I’m mainly looking at the Mastiff (softail) but considering the Pit Bull (hardtail w/ springer seat) also. Don’t want to spend 30K on an unreliable bike. Is there another production custom you feel is better?

Magz, thanks for the input, but I said “production custom” that is what bikes like the Big Dog, American Iron Horse, etc. are called. Just for clarification.
Thanks for everyone’s input. I had a feeling this may not be the best route to go which is why I posted the question. It sounds like the opinions are pretty all against the Big Dog. Kendall Johnson is just down the street from me so maybe I’ll talk to him instead.
David and quik66 thanks for some actual useful advice. For 20/20 and ccfuser, I get the feeling anything someone else has is never cool enough for you guys. Thanks for nothing.
Go to Orlando Harley , they have Thunder Mountain , go to seminole harley they have big dog
