2022 Indian Chieftain 17 Month Review

[@PurpleOnThree]

Sounds like you love the bike and it's great that you have some awesome plans for next year with Captain Dave! 💜🤗

[@PurpleOnThree]

Rattling bugs me big time... Glad you got that fixed!

[@GoofyBastard]

That’s a really sweet bike!!! You’ve done some great things to it!!! That was a great idea on Indian’s part putting the trickle charger port there!!! Great job RJ!!!👍🏻👍🏻

[@602North]

Thanks brother

[@TheBeardedItalian]

That is a lot of bike there my friend. I love it!! Never got to a point where I could get anything that nice. But still enjoy what I have a lot!! Great video! 👊🏼

[@602North]

Thanks 👍

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

You customized it a bit and it looks very nice. Even stock it was. I like the inner part of your sidecases. It looks really nice and it is well padded as seen from the video. This is a keeper. Take care RJ.

[@602North]

Thank you very much. I’m really happy with this bike!

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@602North I see. You have reasons. :)

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

It sure sounds like you purchased the right bike. Im looking forward to your adventures with Capt. Dave. I hope to make it down your way soon.

[@602North]

Look forward to seeing you again my friend.

[@PurpleOnThree]

I've got some rock dings too... Just shows your ride is well loved!

[@602North]

Drives me crazy though 🤪

[@Nicontrast]

That colour still floors me, so beautiful. And that classic engine style, so good. Sometimes the time for riding just isn't there - always great to have a joyous garage ready for when the time returns. I like the battery tender wire from the roof - might have to hook that up in my garage I reckon, nice idea. I feel you with the 360 battery life heheh! I bought a 360 camera remote control to handle that issue - will see how it goes. Great to hear the good report, always nice to have no real problems with a bike. Happy days!

[@602North]

Thanks Nic. I need to look into the remote:-)

[@PurpleOnThree]

Glad you have a solution for the 360 battery life. That Moose is a smart cookie! I think we are going to sell our 360 🤷‍♀️... I just haven't got into using it...

[@602North]

Rich is the man on everything electronic!

[@TheRhythmicBiker]

Sounds like you’ve done a great few trips with the beast mate 🤘 The little mods you’ve done are really classy, definitely deserved for such a gorgeous looking bike 😎 The ultimate seat looks so comfortable, very different style of riding to what I’m used to 😂 Great video mate, glad you’re so pleased with the bike, here’s to many more happy miles ahead 🤘

[@602North]

Thanks so much. Yes, quite different than the crotch rocket seats 😁

[@HarleyThrottleJuice]

Glad that you’re happy with it mate, it sure is a beautiful machine! ✌️

[@602North]

Thank you Roger!

[@truckinbiker]

Dude the bike looks amazing, I told you that you were gonna love it

[@602North]

You sure did buddy I appreciate you

[@RoadsOfOz]

I test rode a sport Chief a few months back. It was an amazing bike. I will have to test ride the Cheiftain soon. Hoping it is just as good.

[@602North]

They really have a good center of gravity about them. I have no regrets Matt. Thanks for stopping by!

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Such a beautiful looking bike

[@frankfortmarine]

Dude, your garage is awesome!

[@602North]

Thanks. It’s came a long way since we bought this place a year ago and is still a work in progress. It’s been so long since I had a garage I am loving it.

[@SOLOMOTOUK]

Good morning RJ that’s one sorted bike you there must be one of the best over there 👍🏍️

[@602North]

Thanks Derek!

[@DFWMoose]

Since you mentioned me, I want Royalties 😂😂😂. Nice review. A Ryker - check with Coach Bob.

[@602North]

😂. I meant to tag you and I’ll go back and add now.

[@DFWMoose]

@@602Northappreciate it

[@larry68hd11]

Great review RJ. Nice up grades

[@602North]

Thanks Larry!

[@TechNickRides]

Hey RJ, Nice review on your Chieftain. Sounds like its been a pretty solid bike. You've done quite a few trips up and down the East Coast. Hows your take on it in some of the twisties, and secondary roads, (well balanced for its weight?) That 116 seems like a fairly solid motor for putting down mileage. Looking forward to seeing what Indian reveals for their 24 models. :)

[@602North]

It handles so much better than the HD baggers I’ve owned or ridden. I’m well satisfied with it.

[@GlidingOnTwos]

She's looking real nice RJ. 👌🏽

[@602North]

Thanks buddy

[@mrsmel269]

to many more adventures brother !!!

[@hachewie]

Such a beautiful bike.

Thank you mate!

Thanks Alan!

[@Hendomonster]

I keep trying to decide between the Chieftain or the Challenger, (or the tour laden varieties.) I rode the Chieftain at a local Demo Day and REALLY liked it with the exception of the heat from the motor and, more importantly, getting my helmet thumped at freeway speed in spite of windshield position. Did you get that and did the windshield swap help with that?

[@602North]

This video was so long I cut a bunch of it out but explained my Challenger/Chieftain struggle. I demo’d both and the Chieftain just suited me better. Challenger is a beast! I just don’t need that much speed anymore. I swapped the windshield out on day one so I don’t know about the stock one. No issues with “flare” windshield. I would like to ride a Pursuit. Let me know what you decide!

[@PurpleOnThree]

Jeeps or bikes? Still having fun!

[@ChappysTikiBar]

amazing upload ✅

[@602North]

Thanks Chappy!

[@hachewie]

I'd love a second bike but not yet. When I have a few acres I'll get a little 250 farm bike.

[@602North]

That would be a lot of fun!

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Bike is looking good bro.

[@602North]

Thanks!

[@SpyderWayne]

Awe come on RJ ... now you got me thinking about trading my Spyder in for an Indian 🤔... hmmmm, 🤭 should I ... 😳🤭... I cannot lie, no I'm not, but I at least I tried to think about it 😄🤣🤣

[@602North]

😂

[@SUPPORTback]

Great bike brother

[@602North]

Thanks! I’ve really enjoyed it so far.

[@SUPPORTback]

@@602North I hope we will make good relations

[@DrSabbatical]

I’m a new chieftain owner myself. Which windshield is that. I get buffeting on the factory one. Looking to upgrade!

[@602North]

It’s the “flare” from Indian. It’s actually the same as the Klockwerks “Flare”. If Inhad it to do over again, I’d buy the Klockwerks one because it’s cheaper and the same. Otherwise very happy with it.

[@PurpleOnThree]

First!

[@602North]

Thank you!😊

[@lv-blackhawk]

That is just a beautiful bike, but I'm sure it's like $40,000??

[@602North]

No not quite that much brother. Around $30. But the prices have gone up.
