Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

Not really much to see. It's still a "standing brochure". Unless the website is marketed like a new product/service to folks other then the Boss Hoss community, the only good the website does is give the website designer and company management a warm fuzzy."Gee, what a beautiful websi...

Many people are looking for a quality mechanic to service their Boss Hoss. Your list of dealers is outdated. Some are not servicing the motorcycles; others are out of the Boss Hoss business, and still others are just out of business. In the Pacific Northwest "we" now have a mechanic who wi...

"Why would someone buy a bleeding out company without finances?" They couldn't. But they would buy it because it's a good business/investment opportunity that the previous owners mismanaged, OR the previous owners know it's a business, that due to a number of unforeseen market changes or m...

New Boss Hoss service center, NW Performance and Off Road is NOW open for business in Everett, WA. They've done an EXCELLENT job on my bike These guys know V8 engines, off road vehicles, and motorcycles....the perfect fit both in cost and convenience if you live in the Pacific Northwest. https://www...

I don't plan on riding my "new" Boss Hoss to the rally. The factory keeps putting up road blocks that delay the final product, but I anticipate a completed product by the end of August. I think due to the weather, I'll just stay home. https://www.facebook.com/pg/makeyourjeepsweet/photos/?t...

The build of my Boss Hoss is coming along. They have completely rewired the bike along with fixing the screw up Boss Hoss made with the wiring harness. New engine and rebuilt transmission with #7 converter. The ONLY item not new on the bike is the VIN number. https://www.facebook.com/pg/makeyourjeep...

Did not know Tim built the bike. Really nice. No I did not know it was a supercharger. I like the turbo idea. Way out of my price range. I'll wait till they finish with what they have so far and who knows....someday.

Wonder what the cost would be to add a turbo? As long as the bike is taken apart, why not?

Oh well. It can be MY anniversary bike. HA. Besides, that was a trike not a two wheeler.

Competition is good!! I did not know about this company. Their bikes are simply beautiful; however they face the same dilemma as Boss Hoss....lack of any service centers. If they have a network of mechanics, they don't publish it any where. They don't sell a lot of bikes. With a yearly revenue of on...

Yes, Boss Hoss is bleeding out, and unless it receives some financial/marketing first aid it will end up in a body bag. Due to the economy and the VERY narrow market (defined by BH) for the motorcycle, the EU at this point is just a pipe dream. Any savvy investor is not going to touch BH with a ten ...

Potential markets do not pay the bills....only profit. As I said earlier, the European market is not a viable option to grow the company for the reasons you stated...so why beat a dead horse? Get over it and move on to a market that will generate profit. There is NO market for new motorcycles in Eur...

I have nothing but praise for Justin Humphrey at the Boss Hoss factory. From my contact with him, he is probably the ONLY one working in the parts department, and moonlights as a service technician, public relations contact, consultant to the vendors, window washer, and all around do everything exce...

You're right!! They are busy; however I'm a pessimist so I'm always pleasingly surprised. I have no doubt they have experience in managing and developing a business. Boss Hoss has been bleeding for sometime so I hope they can stop it. Talk is cheap, and only measurable results, not a high activity l...

This is NOT about "badmouthing" anyone...it's about business decisions. Sometimes the truth hurts. It's not personal. History is a GREAT teacher and we should learn from it. Apparently the owners of BH have not been paying attention, or they just don't have the investment capital, personne...

The 2004 350 that was in my Boss Hoss is now for sale if anyone is interested. It has a total of 38,000 miles. It has a NEW rebuilt Quadrajet 750, Aluminum heads and all the other bells and whistles that Boss Hoss installed from factory as new. NOTE: The engine will need a ring job. JULY 4TH CLEARAN...

Thanks for getting back with me. Yes, it probably would not be a big issue. I used to ski at Whistler all winter and some of my best friends live up there. Since 9/11 and the Winter Olympics, the dollar has fallen and BC prices and security have doubled.So Plan B. On another note, the 350 that was i...

Thanks for the reply. The parts for the build are finally arriving. I'll have way too much money into this bike, but what the heck; it's less expensive and complicated then a girlfriend or worse, a wife. The Boss is still the MOST fun you can have with your clothes on. When I was at the Daytona Bike...

Thanks. Yes, it's about 700 miles to the "dealer" in Canada. Shipping to another country, yes Canada is another country, is a PITA! If I tow the bike, I have Canadian customs to fight with. Not worth it....EVER. Doing MAJOR work like removing the engine, transmission, and putting in a new ...

As most of you know, we have NO Boss Hoss mechanics or dealers in the Pacific Northwest. Living in Seattle the closest mechanic is Curtis in Dallas Texas. Ron of Wild Rose fame, retired a number of years ago and is taking no new business. He, like me, prefers airplanes. The ONLY person I was able to...

First of all I have NO tools nor the training to remove the heads off the bike. Second, there is no guarantee it is the valve guides, so by the time I pay a mechanic to remove the heads and evaluate the issue, I could spend as much as it cost to ship the bike to Dallas. No one at Boss Hoss has menti...

There is smoke and oil coming from the breather valve. Word has it, the #8 valve ring is bad. In any event, I attached a hose from the breather valve and ran it down the front of the bike so the oil does not land on the block and start to smoke...now the exhaust smokes. There is no cure from what I'...

I have a 2004 BHC3ZZ4 and most recently I have what I consider a substantial amount of white smoke and oil coming from the valve cover breather unit. I've changed the PVC and the gaskets around the breather and PVC. It seemed to have started after I switched to Amsoil 20/50, Archoil additive and Eva...
