Hildo is a "Harley Legend", he can really drop the hammer.

Thanks for Smokin them Pall Malls, that helps my retirement just burn them in moderation for your health.

If you like plenty of torque, shaft drive, coffee size pistons and water cooled might want to look at a Honda VTX 1800. I think 08 might be the last mfg. year though. Still good deals exist. They are known Harley ego busters. Believe from experience.

I feel for these people this is terrible. I hope and pray that this destruction will end soon.

Cowpuc I agree with you on researching or doing your homework wish I had. Also, want too make it clear the Dealer I went back to when I wanted too trade for the Harley Street Glide Special was the Indian dealer whom I bought my Chieftain from. They wanted the Indian plus 8k for the 2014 Harley. No more Indians in my Camp. No resale value!!!!

Well I avoided this thread for a while but I feel the need to give my input on the Indian. AS most of you know I'm a previous owner of an Indian Chieftain. This too was a 2014 left over bike which I purchased January of 2015 with the (5) year mfg. warranty. Let me go over items that really appealed to me first. Handling was superb and light feel for a bike weighing over 800 lbs. amazingly easy to upright off the side stand . Like being able to raise and lower the windscreen with a button. Loved the radio/sterio and hardbag lid speakers also they had the remote key fob locking feature. The Informat with all its bells and features like tire pressure, gear indicator, voltage output, mileage left on tank and several other things if you care to use them. Liked the leather seat being low-slung although close to the rear cylinder. Front fairing did well in the wind experienced very little buffeting in the wind. Ok now for things I just couldn't get passed. Clunky changing transmission. Talked too other Indian owners about this something you just have too live with, "Not Me". When cold need too let engine/transmission warm-up for 15 to 20 minutes suggested by Indian dealer, "Not Me". No frame rails under engine/transmission You'll need to build a cradle to jack-up an Indian, "I Did". Any engine work requires removal of engine from frame such as lifter cam changes, "Not Me". Paint is sorry easy to ding from road use or some hard shell bugs. I had over 23k in this Indian took it back to the dealer to trade on a 2014 Harley Streetglide Special. They said he would allow me $15,000 for my 2014 Indian Chieftain with over (3) years warranty left this was in March of this year. Have no intentions of ever visiting this dealer again. Ended up trading with an independent Harley dealer on a 2013 Harley CVO Roadking and I'm sooo over Indians. All I got too say is "BUYER BEWARE", when it comes to Polaris Indians. They are not your "Dad's Indian".

Keep a cool head and invest wisely. Oh beware of all those scammers out there that are trying too get your last dollar. Congratulations on your win.

I know you hold them both dear to your heart you'll make the right decision.

Women really know how to get the juices and thoughts flowing. I'm sure you'll find away too resolve this issue. Just remember like me you probably have too much time invested in her to make a bad decision. Good luck Bongo.

Larry, not really shortly after being married picked up a Yamaha 350 R3 and made a Cafe Racer out of it. Just like to ride and trade them as long as l'm able to do so.

All most 45 years ago I sold a 450 Honda for a down payment on a diamond ring. Looking back I've bought a lot more bikes than diamonds. Things usually work out if you give it a chance.

Nice choice Boss Man you know how too pickem. Even though with fear of getting kicked off here. I still look at you as a trader for selling that Road Glide. I also do look for my 06 Venture when I'm out and about. Happy Motoring.

Your on the right track for an approx. 1" plus in lowering your bike. Just follow the instructions and perform each step and don't forget the SS fork shields. Also, good time too check and lube those gooseneck bearing while everything is open.

Pictures are worth more than a paragraph of words around here. You know the drill by now Lug Nut. Look forward too seeing and verifying all that work.

I understand Dan I can't afford doing that either.

Hey Dan I'm having trouble reading the fine print. Was it susjested that your slimming the herd by someone close.

Well a man got too do what a mans got to do. Have you seriously consider looking for a new wife?

Unless you got a couple hundred thousand miles on your bike don't even bother checking. They are altogether different than Harley's design.

Oh by the Cowpuc your in "Trouble Plenty" too.

Looks like a Kawa. Voyager to me somebody don't know their bikes.

You need rear pads to go in the pictured caliper. The pads pictured are front pads. Easy mix-up easy fix.

Just goes too prove Yamaha is marketing and pouring all their money in those Croch Rockets.

The Indian is gone but I still have my Honda VTX hint. That Honda VTX 1800 is faster than any stock Harley 110 out there. The Harley guys have too spend quite a bit of cash to out run a stock Honda VTX. And did I mention it is also water cooled. Just food for thought Don. Also, Honda doesn't build the VTX 1800 anymore too the delight of all us Harley :happy65:riders.

Could've been much worst could've just found out the next morning you were out of toilet paper.

I was a "Rookie Retiree", now I'm a "Hardcore Retiree". After being retired since 2010 what's Work not in my vocabulary.
