Here's my 2021 Chieftain. It's stock, and I've put 2500 miles on it since the last week of July. The following pictures are of a trip to Lake Diablo, Mt Baker, and Mt Rainer. All locations are in Washington State. My favorite ride was Mt Baker, and my favorite thing about this bike is just getting into the wind, and being part of the tribe!

2020 Chieftain Elite
Stage 1 intake, Stage 2 cams
Loydz tune, Dirty Bird Bars, mustache bar with painted to match lowers, radius windshield, Bassani true dual exhaust, Saddleman seat with red cross stitching and matching rider back rest, rear highway bars, and low profile sissy bar

Favorite experience was buying it from original owner 6 states away. I'll never forget that first ride out of his driveway and down the street on a very quiet Saturday morning. The thump of the pipes echoed off the houses.

The throttle response was amazing and I soon understood the hype behind Ride Command Sport Mode. The bike is amazing and one I'll likely never sell. However the experience of purchasing it from the original owner, the blessing of meeting such a great Indian Motorcycle enthusiast, and the trip there and back with my wife made that road trip unforgettable.

2021 Roadmaster Icon
- completely stock with the exception of the drivers back rest and toe rests I moved over from my Springfield
- What I love the most is the color and comfort and storage for long rides. Oh and the smoother and more powerful 116.
- I know most of the pics I posted also have a Can-am Spyder in them, this is my wife and we always travel together. Last picture is when we traveled to Eureka Springs, Arkansas and camped while attending an Arkansas CMA state rally
- 2nd picture is actually at CMA's main headquarters, Iron Mountain in Mena, Arkansas.
- First 2 pics were taken when I pulled that Time Out Camper 2600 miles with no issues at all for towing. We went from Vicksburg, Ms through Nashville, to North Kentucky to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum (Actually in Ohio), then across to Hot Springs, Arkansas before going back home.

2019 RM. Just some Tab Zombies and a lot of extra lights from Skene LIghts for any mods. My own flags and a little work done to the seat otherwise the motor is all stock. First pic in town near the time of a sunset. The second pic is out near Pottstown PA, and the third pic I went and met Optimus Prime and got some pics. It's a replica Optimus Prime truck from the movie. Or as close to the movies as possible anyways. Looks great! They have a cool anti bullying campaign for younger school students. Optimus Is Here if anyone wanted to check it out, or see events if you want to see the truck too! Been away for almost 2 months unable to ride unfortunately, so I'm really looking forward to getting back soon and riding again! Hit the parking lots and get some slow speed maneuvers in too.

New member and first time Indian owner this year. 2017 Springfield, high flow AC, de-cat and caps removed from stock exhaust, tuned with fuel moto tune for stage one with said mods. Added sissy bar and luggage rack. Added Indian head nickle coin to horn cover ( thanks to ideas from here! As well as 99% of current mods) :).
absolutely love the comfort and how she handles . We picked up this beautiful bike up in Michigan when visiting family back home, left our VTX 1800 up there for my brother to sell!.
trailered ourSpringfield home partially but absolutely couldn’t resist needing to come off the trailer and ride majority of the way especially from Kentucky home to South Carolina!! Certainly some beautiful amazing bikes I’ve seen on here, don’t expect to win or even compare to them, but wouldn’t trade mine for anything and beyond happy to be a part of the tribe!! Enough for us! Thank you!

when you don’t know what you’re missing, you don’t know what you’re missing!!!
Like i tell my Fiancé, never had a message before so if I can’t relate it saves me money! But this ride is something more than worth the price! Still won’t go for Message lol

New member here and my first Indian. 2021 Chieftain Limited. Only things I have done to it so far is rear highway bars, Custom Dynamic saddle bag led's, and added a LED to the war bonnet and an attachment to the kickstand for my short legs to reach it haha.

Got into riding with my son to do some bonding together. I have always wanted to get a motorcycle but it never worked out until now. So the son and I bought bikes, to the Rider Safety Course, wrote our tests and been putting on smiles....erm I mean km's ever since. Plan to take a nice trip across Canada with him then venture down into the states some day once the world is back to normal building memories with my son.

Stay safe all.

2014 Indian Chieftain
Indian Air Cleaner
Freedom performance dual head pipes and mufflers
Kuryaken chrome accents
Arlen Ness handlebars.

Favorite memory is riding 1,821 miles from Oklahoma to California, starting the day I bought the Chieftain. Temps from 65 to 108 degrees. From the plains in farm country, the beautiful Rocky mountains then through the desert and to the west coast. My grandpa completed the ride in 1950 on his 48 chief. I followed suit and am waiting to do it all again.

My first motorcycle a stock 2015 Scout.
I'm really enjoying making this my own. Adding and subtracting features to fit my comfort and taste. When I bought it I went into the dealership to buy a new Indian Red Bobber 60, however after a short conversation with the sales rep he showed me this and it was all over.

I started out by removing the + 1, followed by fun with Pinstriping, removing the tank decal. Purchasing some new cover's and painting them. Having a customized War Bonnet made for the tank and adding a spring seat. Exploring rural scenic highways, farmland and vineyard back roads are my favorite ride's so far. Looking forward to future adventures and new destinations.

2017 Chieftain Limited "La Loba"
Recent photos from an overnight trip to Northern PA (above Scranton). Beautiful ride, 0 issues.

"La Loba" aka "The Bone-Collector" Name is based on a New Mexican Indian myth...
Have you ever heard the myth of La Loba?
As the tale goes, there once was an old, ragged woman who lived in the desert caves of the New Mexican desert. She spent her nights searching for the bones of animals, especially wolves, who have long passed from this world. She had a surprisingly strong, burly voice and after she collected the bones she would return to her cave and sing to them. And as she sang, her life and passion and joy would settle into their bones until alas, they leapt back to life! The dead wolf, now a live wolf, would run into the desert night, turning into a beautiful woman, disappearing into the horizon.

Custom pinstriping and paint by Dan Gonder at DGCustomPaint with a couple of murals, wolf on back of front fender (21" Arlen Ness) and wolf woman on back of rear fender, along with a customized sunken license plate box by SG Paint Worx in Lansdale PA. Rear lighting by Custom Dynamics includes two vertical bag lights as well as a license plate frame surround with stop, turn and run lights, all run through a dynamic load isolator. Custom Ostrich solo seat and passenger seat (not shown) by Chris at buxcustoms.com . Wolf-Woman Primary cover done by brockblackdesigns.com .
Voodoo Air Cleaner and PV3 custom tune by FuelMoto. Complete Rinehart dual exhaust system. 21" Chrome Dirty Spoke Front Wheel from SMTMachining.com . Mirror flip brackets by Matt Hutchins. Air Horn from Amazon. Custom Floorboards, heel-to-toe shifter and shifter/brake pad from Carl Brouhard and HardStreet custom inner bag liners/storage.

Currently have 10k dependable miles on her. Would cross the country right now if I had the time.
