ARNOTT AIR SHOCKS

I put ARNOTT AIR SHOCKS on my BH bike 9 years ago. The system has always worked fine but in the last couple of weeks it has been bleeding down in abut 3 hours. I called them today and they said it was common after a few years but told me how to fix it. They said it was 99% a valve in the distributio...

Re: New Winters Transmission

Iw wish Ricky Dietz would ride BERZERKER and give the trans a proper test so that we could really find out if it is as tough as its supposed to be. There is a big write up about it with pictures but its in German and I don't know what it says. Is there not at least one person with one in a bike that...

Re: Another new owner for the BH factory

I am amazed at how the company keeps changing owners. It really needs more customers and a lower overhead more than anything else. Its gonna be hard to compete with V8 Choppers on trikes as they have many models with different suspensions and motors and body styles. V8 Choppers do not have a cruisin...

HEADLIGHT BRIGHTNESS

Tonight I was riding the Boss Hoss and it seemed that the headlight was not as bright as I remember. Last week we rode our Triumph Rocket 3 Touring model all night from Salt Lake City Utah to Las Vegas and the lights were great. It has 3 lights on the front and the Boss Hoss only has one but I remem...

THIS IS CRAZY

My BOSS HOSS has had a strange problem for a long time. The tail lights are not the same brightness. Both lights work but its really easy to see the difference in the brightness. My front brake handle was also making the brake lights stay on so I fixed that and decided to try to fix the brightness i...

Jack, here is a picture of my latest bike. I just got it running and everything on it works. It only had 1700 miles on it from new but it hadn't run for over 40 years.

Re: Harley's

I like HARLEYS. I still have one. They are just another bike. My Boss Hoss is also just another bike. I like all bikes. Each does something better than the other one. I never rode any that were no fun. I even like trikes which don't have much in common with bikes.

I do dream of a V8 Chopper, though, bad back or not! Perhaps one of these years... Congrat's on the sell and o...

THIS GUY IS A RIDER

I sold a V8 Chopper to a guy living in North Dakota. It was used and he flew to Oklahoma to pick it up. It was a 2007 model with a 350 in it and many upgrades. The guy was not sure if it would be comfortable as he never rode one before. He spent a couple of days at the factory and rode around some g...

There are 2 major brands but there is also VANQUISH which is a quality BIKE but I don't think they make a TRIKE. There may be more but I am not aware of them.

Boss Hoss was right across the street at one show and I would tell the customers to go ride theirs first, we sold out in les...

Re: Boss Hoss Owners

V8 CHOPPER makes three different suspensions for trikes. I have ridden all of them. The most basic one they make is like a Boss Hoss without the mickey mouse limiting straps BH use's to stop the upward travel. They also have two more, one is the hi tech independent suspension found on some race cars...

They have some that ride like a BH but they have 2 that ride smoother than any BH. Try one and then make a comment. I have ridden many BH and mine was really nice but not as nice as the V8 Chopper.

Re: Boss Hoss Owners

In my opinion there are V8 Chopper models that a Boss Hoss trike will never even come close to matching in ride comfort. I have owned a BH trike and ride many. My BH trike was the best riding one I ever rode. I have ridden all the V8 Chopper trikes, they have a couple that ride better than any BH tr...

You should also go to the V8 Choppers website and look at their V8 Trikes. Several models to choose from with various horsepower and chassis combinations. They are in Miami Oklahoma.

It sounds like a wonderful engineering design. I'm sure the air sucking tool is available at any tire shop in the event an owner suffers a flat tire somewhere other than Alberta Canada.

Why does the factory not do this? I am afraid Boss Hoss will never really get it together.

That is an interesting topic. Someone like Ricky Dietz would probably know the possibilities and the problems.
