We present measurements of stellar velocity dispersion (σ_*) and bulge luminosity for nine galaxies with dynamical black hole (BH) mass measurements from megamasers. With BH masses of10~7 M_o, these L~* spiral galaxies open a new window on BH-bulge scaling relations at low mass and in spiral galaxies. We show preliminary evidence that BH-bulge scaling relations do not extend in a straighforward manner into the lower-mass regime.
