Hi yellowgizmo99,
Nice! I like the custom white seat especially. How long a ride have you tried on it? Or are you still doing carbs/tires/chrome polish first? (That's my standard).
I ride a red Suzuki Intruder (800cc) with custom chrome pipes. Not nearly as big a bike as yours.
Enjoy!

Reminds me of CrotchRocket's, but I like the matte black look. Are you going to change it?

Nice, I like Drifters... they're the newer, cheaper bike for those who like Indian Chiefs.:)
We have a 1951 Indian Chief that I have plans to restore one of these days... she needs a bit of work but is complete & original.

Cameron it is fuel injection, no long ride yet, was looking at 800 also but at the price I picked this one up for couldn't pass up. Sue that is the look I am going for, have a line on a Velorex 762 sidecar that is matte black also, will stay the same color.

VX no way could afford a real Indian in any kind of shape.
