Hi,
Just about to buy my first Boss Hoss. A 502.
I'm looking for any info or stories from people who have owned both a 502 and a later LS engine equipped model.
Is the LS that mush better?
Try and talk me out of buying a 502?
Think I'm sold on the 502 but you never know.
Cheers,
Steve.

Welcome Steve. I'm just about the last person to talk you out of buying a 502 - my 350 collects garage dust in favor of taking out the 502 
Others who owned LS's will chime in no doubt. Good luck with your choice!

I have owned several 502's and ridden an Ls3 bike with the upgraded cam kit, 485hp. The LS will walk a 502 easily and is a smooth and refined ride. But, in my opinion, lacks the visual and viseral appeal of the 502. LS's can be modified to get more of an aggressive sound but its a big block for me.

Re: 502 V LS
Like anything else in life, it is all about your personal preference. The 502's are a breed all of their own, they have a signature sound and a reverence for being just stupid.
LS's are more modern and appeal to a different crowd. They are certainly advanced and can be modified with a Laptop more than a wrench.
Long story short, what is the reason you want the bike? That will more determine which you should get

LS is better across the board. I’ve ridden several LS bikes. They're nice! Doesn't matter. Still don't want it, not interested.
I'm ALLRAT for 17 years now & still head-over-heals for my 502.
Great thread! Good Luck with your purchase!!!

Re: 502 V LS
Get the 502...WHY??..just because it is bigger and sounds bigger. My choice is a Bigblock over an LS but it is all personal preference.
A bigblock bike or trike, in my opinion, handles the road better due to it's weight.

502 is like a democrat, sounds good, promises plenty, but the other one actually delivers without all the noise.

Re: 502 V LS
I own both ,,, love them both ,,, 502 has an attitude and love it ,,, LS3 is refined and love it ,,, I ride both daily ,,, if I was to just own one ,,, would have to go with the LS3 due to the dependability ,,, my two cents ,,,
