What year is your bike? The tune should be for all of them with the same engine. You can call them and ask. They were very helpful when I called.

I did a stage 1 upgrade with the air intake and Rinehart pipes. I love the sound, not too loud but a great tone. No cat delete so far, I don’t see a need for it at this point. The bike has enough power as is for me so squeezing out another couple horses just doesn’t matter. I have added some led lights to the bags and a better adaptive headlight. I also put on toe pegs which are smaller and better looking than foot pegs (to me). I upgraded the seat to a Saddleman Road sofa tho it didn’t need to be changed if 500 mile days aren’t in the plan for you. The bottom line on the upgrades for me is that the handlebars are the only necessary upgrade, everything else is just a “want”. After 4 years, I still really love my bike!

I’m sorry it took me so long to respond, my notifications were off for some reason. The road sofa I have has the back rest bracket built inside of it. The new seat will not install properly if you don’t remove the Indian backrest bracket also. The Indian backrest will however fit in the road sofa backrest bracket that is in the new seat! I hope this helps

I wish, my schedule is piled up on me for awhile now. It’s gonna be local rides for the foreseeable future

Just Rinehart slip ones with stock headpipes, stage one air intake.

They are KST Comanche bars (14 inch). At the time I bought mine, the 14 inch was the only bar they offered for the Indian Challenger. I still love them after 3 years

@@CountryBoyMoto thank you love your set up I think I am going to order those bars

I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you guys. When I was looking for a replacement seat I was really concerned about that happening to me also. It’s a terrible expense but it just happens that I really like the seat. Maybe you can get most of your money back by selling it on Facebook or something? I wish you the best.

They are the KST Comanche bars. They have a 14 inch rise and I am very happy with them.

Cool!! Thank you

It’s the saddlemen road soffa

@@CountryBoyMoto thank you….i have been trying to decide between the Chieftain and Challenger….i hear really good things about the Chieftain….and mix opinions about the challenger…what are your thoughts as a Challenger owner?

I would buy it again. It’s a sporty bagger and the aftermarket is catching up some so that’s nice. I haven’t been on a chieftain so I can’t really give you an intelligent comparison. I’m betting that either will make you a happy camper. Good luck!!!

@@CountryBoyMoto i agree with you 100% i have tested both bikes and both different character. I currently own a 21 Scout Bobber…and i love every bolt on that bike….in some way…its very similar to the Challenger…Thanks again for your input

I haven’t had and service issues with bike yet so I can’t say how well or not the factory warranty would work. I do know that Indian dealerships around the country are the only place you can get the tune so it should at least be covered by the dealership itself. It’s a risk I’m sure but I just don’t know to what extent, the best thing to do if you are considering it is to contact your local dealer and have a good chat with them. Stay safe.

I don’t think so. I think the saddlemen backrest is just a little wider. I kept the stock parts so if I happen to be in the storage building I will check and see for sure and comment on the thread.

I hate chrome

I replaced my stock seat with the saddlemen road sofa and it’s actually taller by an inch so that’s definitely not the one you want but it really is a great seat with back support. They do custom work on their seats so maybe give them a call and see if they have any other models that would meet your need. I have also heard about people lowering the rear suspension some, that may be another option to look into. My bike is a 2020 and I’m still very happy with my choice of bike, you are gonna love it.

@@CountryBoyMoto oooo i love the bike the only thing that bothers me is not able to fully floor it and the handle bars to far so it will hurt my back but i can install a short reach handle bars to sit up straight how tall are you thnx

@@tonyalb3863 I’m 6’-2”. I love the Comanche bars from KST. My neck and back are a serious issue so I had to get those 14” bars to straighten me up. I got a removable backrest on my seat as well for longer rides

@@CountryBoyMoto i like the setup on ur bike enjoy it

So far I haven’t had any issues but I haven’t put the miles on it this year that I did last year. If I ever do I will certainly put a video out on it.

They are more narrow of a grip than the stock bars and you can sweep them back a bit, I did. I’m 6-2 so my arms are straight level with my shoulders and not locked but there was a little bit more adjustment in them to bring back more. I love the bars, they are a good upgrade. I installed them myself so it saved quite a bit of money. If you are reasonably mechanical, you can do it for sure. There are some really great videos on KZbin showing it step by step if you chose to try

@@CountryBoyMoto Thank you so much. I think I'll go with the 6" bars so I can save some money and not have to get new cables.

I got them from my local Indian dealership. I didn’t trust any aftermarket brands to be a true “plug and play version”. I’m glad you enjoyed the video, stay safe.

Yes I’m very happy with it. I just had a 4 hour ride on it a couple days ago and it felt great.

@@CountryBoyMoto awesome thanks

KST Comanche bars. 14 inch

You are right and I apologize but I messed up with some of my footage and had to make the best of it. The throttle side is the same except for having to deal with the throttle mech itself but I highly recommend you watch the “handlebar change” video put out by JP cycles. It is fantastic and shows you the detailed wiring of the throttle mech. It was made to show a complete bar change without the heated grips but the stock wire harness is used in it and shows you everything. Thanks for watching!

Wow that sounds like a nightmare. I haven’t heard of anyone having troubles like that. I hope it gets settled out for you.

I’m thinking of taking my bike to music city for the tune as well. But can’t decide between that and rvs. Are you still happy with the tune?

Yes I am. I’m sorry it took so long to reply. KZbin notifications are all messed up

It took several months but I will check my emails and see if I can get an exact time frame. I will let you know either way

Thk u so much

I just found the emails. I ordered it early may of 2020 and received it late July 2020. I hope this helps.

@@CountryBoyMoto thks yes

What are you asking the average cost of?

I haven’t had to take mine in for anything yet but my dealership is a loydz authorized tune place so I can’t imagine that being a problem. Have you contacted loydz about it? They may reflash it for much cheaper since I know they do it if you make changes to the bike after the original flash. I called them myself and asked.

My longest trip is 1200 miles but only 600 on this seat. My impression so far is that I love the seat. It has held up really well. Most say 500 miles is the break in period for the seat but I’m inclined to think about 1K. I will get over a thousand on it then probably mention some thoughts about it in a video at some point soon. Do what you can and let the rough end drag!

I have the KST Comanche bars. They are 14 inch and really great. I am 6’-2” and they are perfect for me. I will take your advice and make a mod video… as soon as I can get rid of this snow lol

That’s a great point! When I was buying my bike it came down to the Challenger or a Street Glide Special. The main deciding factor was that it was gonna take me thousands of dollars less to get the challenger where I wanted my bike to be than the Glide. In my humble opinion the flash isn’t necessary but is a great performance improvement like the other aftermarket items we can get to personalize our bikes, but wouldn’t it be a great day if the bikes came off the line just as we wanted to begin with? 👍

@@CountryBoyMoto SIMPLY FLASH IT OR BUY A HARLEY AND PAY MORE TO BUILD ON IT ......... PICK ONE.

I couldn’t honestly give you a comparison since I’ve never ridden a RG. I’m sure it’s similar. I am very impressed with the Challenger suspension tho. The rear is fully adjustable and I have zero complaints. 👍

Lol you are right. I normally keep that in mind when doing that and the gas station is far enough away that I “should” be ok. I think it’s a silly thing that I do anyway but it’s an old habit.

I actually used a tacky type of air filter spray since the control block also keeps it in place. I haven’t any issues with it thus far.

They are 14 inch bars from KST. Thank you for watching

Absolutely 👍
