Love the adjustable headlight. Up for coon hunting, down for night crawlers ;)
Seriously though, very nice bike. Good to see BH taking a slightly different take on things

Looks good!, Really like the new fan mounting setup. Agree with Carl about the factory shaking things up a bit.

Ron from WildRose Boss Hoss in Oregon had a new 383 Stroker for sale in Sturgis in 2013 I believe..I drove it and it was a really nice machine...did some customizing of the tank etc...this is similar but different..

Looks like they copied V8 Chopers handlebars and now use the same Dakota digital gauge V8 Choppers have been using. The bike is looking pretty good.

Yeh, looking good and a stroker will definitely attract attention. It would be my new bike of choice. Great to see product development, I assume a Winter's

I did notice that's one hell of a loose drive belt :rofl:

Nope, the 383 stroker wasn't my doing; good looking bike, probably Bill Banks cool creation as an entry level bike, just my guess.
From the pics, I'm under the impression that the air cleaner is accessible by removing the fuel tank air scoop panel as there appears to be a screw fastener; if that's the case, that's sweet. It could also be that they changed the console and underneath has in-tank fuel pump and hoses, etc.
Some changes observed:
Under-tank air cleaner
No crashbars (looks cleaner, sleeker)
Oil cooler hidden (looks cleaner)
Additional Rake? (neck cut and re-welded w/ additional rake)

I agree, the new fan mounting set up looks really nice. No more unexpected radiator leaks!

383 stroker, yeep yeep yah who???

Who built it???
What's the HP rating???
Older non center bolt heads.
Maybe Dart is building them for BH???
How much cheaper for the 383 than a LS???
LS is 364 ci isn't it??? BUT how much HP???
IMHO the 383 is a step backwards compared
to the LS. Used to buy ZZ4 engines for less
than 3 grand. LS is maybe 3 times that.
So I think the 383 is a cost saving to BH???

I do like the design change other have noticed.
I see a more foot friendly brake peddle. Yes,
bigger is better. Gauge panel looks a lot like
V8 Chopper??? Maybe Dakota Digital is building both.
