Cool...! re the modification to the back section, rather than sliping the protector over the bottom leg...could you possibly make the opening at the back much smaller, and slip the protector over the fork tube...and then downward onto the leg?

Hi would gatters be a better idea, less faff

remember folks. print them from ABS or ASA at least PETG. PLA is no good material for this at all

Great work. Looking forward to seeing you 3D print an entire bike soon👍😂

Mate it looks fantastic. I see a money earner coming on.👍

Actually looks very good, a tweek here and there and good to go.

I 5’4” and had a 2016 Ninja 650 and it fit amazingly!

This or a Honda cb500x? Looking for a small second bike for my garage👍🏽

My height is 165cm but my inside legs height is 78 cm. I have a suzuki sv 650 and my shoes are almost flat on the ground (seat height 790mm). I think i'm gonna be ok with CB

Great video, very informative. Also, the cable was easy to ignore after a couple of seconds. I was in Royal Enfield/ Indian Ballarat on the same day to check out the Enfields. I remember seeing a bloke with an epic beard who was on a mission.

Dear Paul, first of all congrats on your videos! With regards to your problem I think I would see an Indian dealer to document this issue. Just to be be on the safe side. However, I ride a bobber dark horse and have not come across this problem yet. Maybe because this part is shielded of by fairing? Worth investigating. Just a thought. Best Regards from Germany…

new Indian is just bored out for more cc btw

Indian 101 has 3+in of travel

willing to bet it's because it's detuned like the last scout was because the scout 60 made the same as the big one with a tuner and the big one gained HP thing probably makes 130+HP stage 1

Hi guys, I'm 1.71 cm tall. Is this for me? I might get the lowered saddle if anything

That’s a piss poor chrome quality job and nothing more, think about dirt bikes pre upside down forks era were copping mud and crap day in day out and didn’t have issues….

The best thing about an Indian Motorcycle is its not a piece of shit Harley.

Thank you

Looks abit like a sheet metal spike for pedestrians m8

Nice video!! Thanks

I try and clean my for tubes after each ride because you are correct dried bugs are a threat to the seals.

I put rubber “bellows” on my ‘92 Revere to protect the forks, gives it a nice sort of retro look, and, protects the forks 100%👍😃

Natural wear and tear for any unprotected fork tubes. How about old school fork gaitors? 🇦🇺

Ok the marks you are seeing are from the wiper seal, this is normal for hydraulic seals. The wiper seal sits above the main seal that keeps the oil in. All hydraulic seals must leave a smear of oil on the shaft other wise the seals run dry and will wear fast. If you have a look at a hydraulic cylinder on machinery they will look similar to yours, also if you look at your car and it has gas struts on your boot lid or Bonnet they will show marks similar to your bike forks. So if there is no major scratches the seals are doing thier job. If you had excessie oil on your forks I would then be concerned.

Concerning, certainly. I’d get the shop’s opinion. You might want to get that corrected before you put on your diy fork protectors.

I'd be taking it to Indian asap and getting it checked and possible oil change on the forks. They may want to check the oil anyway

Any comments about the cb1100 for a 6’3 person?

My 03 Vegas & 2010 Vision have been flawless

My one year old sport chief is in the shop right now with a low oil pressure light on

Fork leg protectors won't help as if there's been a film of oil it holds fine dust and slowly grinds away the hard chroming. I found that out when I ignored the same thing on a motorcycle back in 1985 and continued to ride it

What kind of suspension are the forks?, are both sides the same configuration?, or am I asking a stupid kweshin??🤣.

here in the uk , leaking forks can be an 'mot ' failure and must be fixed ,, seals are not doing what they are supposed to do and the chrome may be poor quality ---- warranty issue ;

The best little fairing i had was on a 1981 XS 1100 Yamaha Sport RH. ( all black model ) . It had a small kick up at the top of screen that pushed air up and over. I could feel only slight turbulence on top of helmet . Over the years and on various bikes I intended to copy it but never did. Was not a big size but i believe modification of the principle should give results. Just a thought. Hope it all works out well for you.

What a great idea, it looks good too, reminds me of a gladiator helmet. There'll be lots of design suggestions and comments saying you should be doing this and that. But at the end of the day the difference is, you are doing it and they aren't. Keep it up I'm interested to see the design evolution, definitely makes a change from bolting on mass produced farkles.

I liked the look of my tool bag hanging below the headlight and above the guard on a Harley Iron I had some time ago. Is there room for it in that place on the Chief, Paul? Or is there nothing secure to strap it to?

Hey Paul, it’s Mario met you when I was fundraising in Ballarat. Just thought to update you, I recently passed my permit last weekend and just picked up my R7 today, had the best night riding along the beachside of Brighton. Thank you for all the inspiration and knowledge. Keep up the amazing content 💪

Add a few spikes and call it Triceratops :)

Can we adjust the seat height, my height is 160 cm

When I do photogrammetry of shiny elements, I use toothpaste or anything to make it matt, and clean after the scanning.

Please add a little grid of smoke streamers ahead of the fairing so we can see how the deflection and redirection is working.

Bloody good onya mate. Would love a small, neat and simple to fit fairing for the Forty-Eight .... and on a budget.

As a 5'11 guy I think I'll look just right on the cruiser.

5'10" here love my new Fatboy

Thank you, keep going.

Very creative, maybe a slighty larger piece.

Sounds great! Thanks for trusting our pipes on your bike!

Just another parts bin bike.. typical of the Motor Company... 😅 I love Harley but they stick it up the customers butts..

Nice piece of inventive design. Reminds me of the snowplow on the front of a locomotive. Some of the faired Harleys use a similarly curved screen. Looking forward to bilfairing.2.

On your original sketch, you assumed that air was rising up the front of a typical blade screen becoming turbulent at the top. However, your second sketch ignores rising air and assumes that the lip will push all of the air in the opposite direction. Why make this assumption? I believe that most turbulence above and around any screen is due to the difference between positive air pressure in front of the screen and negative pressure immediately behind the screen. The larger the area of the screen, the greater this effect becomes. Honda tried to reduce this difference on GL1200 screens by introducing a through screen vent in an effort to minimise the pressure diffential.

Excited to see if that works!
