Big Dog Motorcycles have become one of the leading manufacturers in high-performance cruisers since they began in 1994, offering 'production-customs' which are highly respected and demanded around the world
This 2008 third-generation 'Pitbull' is based on a 1, 917cc, S&S V-Twin with a Baker 6-speed gearbox, offering the option of a comfortable and smooth cruising RPM alongside plenty of bottom end torque
Billet aluminium parts throughout the build include rear sprocket, mudguard supports, number plate mount, callipers and various other parts. It's obvious that 'off the shelf' clearly was not an option in the design process. Custom cut forged-aluminium wheels provide extra strength and performance, with the rear being an enormous 10" x 20" in size
Closely contoured panel lines extenuate the bike's stance, whilst deep gloss Burnt Copper paintwork with orange flame accents add the finishing touch
Three-in-one rear lights, Auto Meter gauge with gear indicator, low-profile buttons, analogue speedometer and a tachometer built in
Low-profile saddle on sprung base as well as the added option of a pillion seat which sits nicely to the rear mudguard on rubber sucker-cups (with a sissy bar that attaches through the billet supports)
Offered with its original embossed fork bag and a spare fuel tank if the new owner wanted the option of an even more personalised look
Odometer currently reading 3, 685 miles. Very good overall condition and runs/ rides as it should
This 2008, third-generation Pitbull certainly cuts a more stylish figure than its ancestors, however it's still a wild dog at heart and aimed at a particular hard-bitten breed of rider
