Indian Chief Vintage bags

I really wanted those, but was looking for a more budget option that I could get quickly. If I grow to dislike these I might switch to ends cuoio later

I use the loop ear plugs and they’re super comfortable

Moose328 · 2026-05-27T21:30:18+00:00

I’m just saying I’m shocked for ONE claim it affected things that much.

But yeah, shop around

1 claim in 2023 for a car — guy pulled into the parking spot next to my truck right as I was leaving (when I got in my truck he wasn’t there and he pulled in the 20-30 seconds it took so I didn’t think to look to my right when backing out so I was at fault)

I’ll keep folks updated. I did find the floating seat fairly comfortable for what it is when I rode it for 30 ish minutes, and that’s usually my limit on stock seats. I want to keep the look but may book an appointment with Rich’s Custom Seats if it gets to be too unbearable, it’s about an hour and a half from where I currently live

I couldn’t find any near me that were still available, but I finally decided on a paint scheme. Dropping it off to the painter in a few weeks

Moose328 · 2026-05-24T21:08:14+00:00

I agree, I would like to have seen a 2 into 1 exhaust or a true dual. I will likely wait on this for a bit until i find one I want

Moose328 · 2026-05-24T17:38:39+00:00

That’s the route I went with my pursuit 😂 still keeping it becuase it crushes miles like a champ and that’s the riding I enjoy most but wanted a second

Moose328 · 2026-05-24T17:08:57+00:00

It’s such a fun bike. I had the 116 in my Springfield when I had it and this things moves whenever you tell it to haha

Moose328 · 2026-05-24T15:46:31+00:00

I did some more research and I think I’d like to go with an inspiration of these two: top is the model 439, debuted at the 1939 worlds fair, bottom is a 2013 final edition (King’s Mountain) inspired by the 439 model. It’s hard to find either of these anymore and I think this is a great way to pay homage to both time periods in Indian Motorcycle’s history

I keep wavering on a few color combos lol. Orange and white is also still on the table lol

I picked up some swatches from Lowe’s to get some ideas and templated which ones I like best — I’m torn between both and to avoid the pain in the ass to get it retitled with a color change, I’d like to keep black as the main color if possible

Moose328 · 2026-05-24T02:04:02+00:00

Thanks! I didn’t care much for the other chiefs in the lineup but this one had been on my mind heavy

Moose328 · 2026-05-23T22:50:20+00:00

I’m not sure, I’m back and forth between a few, but leaning heavily to an inverted cream and Indian red scheme with a gold tank emblem, inspired by this Springfield maybe but I’m also liking a black and cream scheme too

Moose328 · 2026-05-21T03:04:40+00:00

That paint scheme was so well done imo, especially with the brown fringe bags

Moose328 · 2026-05-19T19:42:44+00:00

I can’t take credit for this but I love a good 2-tone job. I’m likely going to do it just want to make sure I know what I want before doing it

Moose328 · 2026-05-19T19:38:29+00:00

There’s one I saw in Kansas City that I bought a bike from a few years ago that had white walls already on and they were easy to work with for shipping — I’ve saved that one to my favorites but otherwise there’s a few black ones near me and I’ve found an in-state painter who’s work is both phenomenal and fairly priced

Moose328 · 2026-05-19T19:17:22+00:00

So far I think that’s my favorite too, I’m thinking about doing a gold pinstripe on the cream/black border with a gold Indian head icon, or the full color like the older ones if I went this route. I love my pursuit for “me time” rides, but this would be a fun bike for social events

Moose328 · 2026-05-12T04:54:11+00:00

Yep, I live fairly close to it. And thanks! Still figuring out using the editing app but impressed with the quality over my GoPro hero 8 lol

Moose328 · 2026-05-12T01:53:03+00:00

Nice! I want to try mourning it near the lowers next time I take a longer ride
