That really is a nice fit for the Indian.
I wouldn't mind throwing a leg over it.
Heck it may even compliment a Harley If it were done right.

I have enough trouble removing a tire doe's the fender skirt come off?:Shrug:

Is that the speakers I see in a black color under the passenger backrest? I would like them to be brown if it were mine.

The black kinda takes away the affect for me?

Good looking ride for sure. Just being a pita I think the tail lights are to high on the fender. I think I would like them better level with the tag. BUT WHAT DO I KNOW. Another great job guys.

Love the look of the Indian Trike! it does look like it would be a pain to remove the rear tires. A lot of lifting to do so. I hope they put enough Torgue in their motors to pull all that weight. it sure is pretty!ThumbUp

Roadsmith is a good company and they take real pride in their workmanship. Even though the dual wheels are on the wrong end it's still a nice looking product. :cool:

Very nice trike, my choice.

119+ lbs torque, much more than 103" Harley.

What an awesome trike! It has a larger engine, more torque, more HP than Harley's new Milwaukee-Eight engine, I have moved it to the top of my bucket list!!

If they are selling them, Its not in my area .....If I've see two or three on the road since Polaris brought them back from the dead that's a lot.... I had a Victory so i know how if a line of theirs isn't doing well they will 86th it...I'm sure they are thinking of ending the Slingshot line......:Shrug:...

Indians are gaudy monsters. A cartoon caricature of a motorcycle from a bygone era. Just my opinion, and you know whwt they say about those.:laugh:

I used to think that too. But after riding in rain on one and my feet stayed dry, I was sold and the look started to grow on me. So if functional equals gaudy, I'll take it over pretty but can't be used in certain conditions, every time.

I think Sidecarbill was kidding...look at his avatar picture. Looks like an Indian to me.

Looks can be deceiving.:) That wasn't my avatar when I wrote that. I will say checkin tire pressure can be a real pain in the ass on that. But I'm not a fan of the new Indians. Having said that, we all pays our money and makes our choices. Love what you ride or get something you do.:laugh: And remember to flip me the bird when you see me on the road so I know you care.:clapping:

Before I bought my 2017 my wife and I sat on a 2018 DCT Goldwing. The biggest thing she didn't like about the 2018 was how low she had to reach to grab onto the passenger handles. From what I can see in the pictures it looks like the Indian doesn't have any passenger handles at all. That would be a deal breaker for me as we ride 2 up 99% of the time and I want her to be comfortable. I've always loved the looks of the Indians though. Maybe I'm wrong about the handles.
