Beautiful bike. Love the color. Nelson Rigg makes nice stuff. I run their tail bag and magnetic tank bag on my street glide.

Thanks Norm. The colour and the fact that it has no chrome is what caught my eye. As for the bag. I couldn't go past the tail bag for the price and the fact that it has lifetime warranty. Unlike bags by indian that cost more than double and have very little warranty.

Thanks very much, mate. It caught my eye just because of the colour. It looks different in different light.

FYI - Just a cheap option for a good sound, pull the slip-ons off and rod out the welsh plugs (If they have them, check pipes first). Made my 2016 sound perfect at no cost.

Yeah mate. After reading and watching a few reviews. It seems to be a common complaint.

@pistnbroke2 I caught that, too. A previous review I saw of this bike also noted how much of an apparent disgrace the front head lamp is.

The other head light option that I will more than likely go with, is from Hog Lights. It's almost half the price too.

Where did you buy the driving lights from. Rhinehart are a great sound, but not too loud.

@Route_rat 3 ай бұрын

The lights are from indian, but you have to purchase the lights separately to the brackets and housings. I have since found a cheaper set on Ali Express for a third of the indian ones.

Will do mate. As soon as I decide on which pipes will go on it. I'll be also putting a freedom shields screen on it before to long.

I have a 2022 Chieftain Dark Horse Icon. I'm in a bit of a love/hate relationship with it. The bike is comfortable.. and the ride is amazing. But I've had a lot of cosmetic issues and defects with it. Mostly paint blisters. Indian did fix the issues, but its frustrating to pay so much money for a bike and need to replace both fenders and the primary cover due to paint defects.

I'm sorry to hear about the issues you've had. I hope that they are all remedied without too much hassle and you can just enjoy the bike. They do ride amazingly. That Fox rear shock is awesome.

@@Route_rat so far Indian has been good about fixing it. It’s just disappointing to have paint issues on a bike that costs so much. Especially since I ordered mine special as an Icon paint color.
