[@snowmanrainmaker]

You soon will be branded, Brandon Bicasso Indian chief specialist!!🤔😊

[@BrandonBicasso]

Hey, I have my Tech certification now 😅. Got it a few days ago.

[@snowmanrainmaker]

@@BrandonBicasso sweet, I've been watching since the beginning and will continue watching I am a current owner of a 2016 Indian Scout I just don't have the money to take the Step Up.

[@Rektom]

I vote for Brandon Buildcasso.

[@mohawkdriver4155]

Jeez, that was one hell of an impact to do that kind of bending damage to that front end. I mean, damn.

[@sway0221]

My dawg, thanks for the content, idk how u do it....wife, work, mangled indians AND a KZbinist!

[@BrandonBicasso]

Most Def Fam. Thanks for watching the dream unfold.

[@ronaldwalters9488]

V Rod what?? I’m down for that yo!!!

[@BrandonBicasso]

Yep! I love that bike but I need the space and $$$.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

I think you need a motorcycle lift. I bought one this week. I also got a motorcycle tire machine and dedicated cycle balancer. Wish you were closer! I would relace the front spoke wheel with new rim and spokes. It is a challenge but fun. Takes a trueing stand, though.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Yeah, I’m gonna ship it off and have it repaired. There’s two bends on the opposite sides as well. I’m not against doing the work myself but I just don’t have the skill set yet. I see myself doing that maybe on bike #5 or #7. If I wait till I have the skills to do it, I’ll never get these completed. Also, the reason I don’t have a lift is for space. I may change my mind though once some of these bikes are out of the way. 🤟🏾 Hope your wife is doing well. Haven’t asked about her in awhile.

[@upsidedowndog1256]

@@BrandonBicasso Thanks for asking about my wife! She is doing much better, finally. Won't be riding motorcycles any more, unfortunately.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Glad to see her health improved but that sucks about riding. Health first tho. 💪🏾

What year is this Chief?

[@BrandonBicasso]

2022

[@3asyrider75]

@@BrandonBicasso I didn’t recognize the frame. I didn’t realize there was that much difference between the Chief and Super Chief. Completely different frame. Is it still Aluminum?

[@BrandonBicasso]

It’s the same frame, just different pieces on top of it. Also, steel frame. 🤟🏾

[@AkaBull]

My God, seeing all this damage. Is this really worth all the money and headaches 😕. Holy shit, $2200 just for the forks alone 🤦‍♂️. Good luck bro, you're gonna need it lol.

[@BrandonBicasso]

Should have them in a few days but yeah, it’s a fun project regardless. 😂🤟🏾

[@AkaBull]

@@BrandonBicasso Noice, that's what it's all about having fun 💯

[@AkaBull]

Damn!! Those front forks are bent like a mother 😔

[@BrandonBicasso]

Just a flesh wound.

[@mobileplazastore3642]

hello brandon, can we paint the exhaust shield in paint, i have a crome shield which doesn't look nice.

[@BrandonBicasso]

If you use a high temp powder coat, it may work.

[@mobileplazastore3642]

@@BrandonBicasso THANKS

[@dapras]

$850 for a wheel replacement >_< damn

[@BrandonBicasso]

My fault, I forgot the tax lol. I got a plan for that tho. ; )

[@kendil22]

At the rate you're going you might have to open your own shop :P

[@BrandonBicasso]

Lol you’d never get videos then 🙃

[@gwaddles]

Why not just build the Super Chief?

[@BrandonBicasso]

Personal choice to do the DH first.

[@BrandonBicasso]

And it’s a bit of a money and timing thing as well. Performance, paint etc.

[@Mr20west]

Heat pure heat 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐏

[@married2dastreets]

Do you know where to get a primary outer cover ?

[@BrandonBicasso]

For the clutch basket? Direct from Indian.

[@married2dastreets]

@@BrandonBicasso thanks for the reply brotha !! Love your content

[@BrandonBicasso]

Sure thing. I get all of my replacement parts from Indians Part catalog. You can go direct on their site, input your bike and find all of the parts. 🤟🏾

[@amphibdriver1]

Can you use a Hydraulic press and two short 4x4s to press the fork tubes straight?

[@BrandonBicasso]

Anything is possible but that’s beyond my skill set at the moment.

[@BrandonBicasso]

It’s like he said in the vid, the hardest part is knowing how much force to apply. I had that issue with the sub frame. When trying to set it in a certain spot, it would go back to its original position. So, I had to go past that bend point and I went a bit too far the first time. I won’t be tossing the forks so they will sit on the shelf for a bit. If I find a reliable source, can have the outer forks replaced on the Super Chief.

[@chrishunter5041]

Will the triple tree from the supper Chief be OK? your getting good with the spanners, can I book my Chief Vintage in for a service😂

[@BrandonBicasso]

I hope both are lol. Behind those covers may be more hidden F ups.

[@KlingonCaptain]

And it's too early in the new Chief's life cycle to look for junkyard parts... Drat!

[@BrandonBicasso]

Unfortunately 😅

[@road_king_dude]

In THIS economy!?!?

[@BrandonBicasso]

Yes siiiiir. Gotta pay to play in this fun game!

[@BikesBeardsAndBrews]

do at least one repair with a chainsaw, c'mon make it happen!

[@BrandonBicasso]

So dangerous, So thoughtful. I like it.
