They were already available at time of New Chief pre-orders on August 3rd!
A line of premium material parts and finishes to personalize your Indian Classic, Vintage or Chieftain. Of course designed for perfect fit but also for seamless integration with the iconic Indian look and heritage.
At your Indian Dealer.
Love the new bike, parts look great to….. Are these parts made in the USA ?
Not bad for having a finished motorcycle design to work with possibly only a year or less.
Homer: I am not certain about Indian accessories but I think Kuryakyn is one of the suppliers for Victory’s factory accessories.
none of it really grabs the eye.. am I missing something?
Arent these bikes too heavy and tastelessly ornamented enough already ??
Guys. Give some slack to Indian. 2 years to conceive, launch and produce 3 models, re-build a network of dealers. Give them some time to conceive some cool after-market parts. Betting on a tour-pak for the Chieftain.
They are just another big corporate like most manufacturers.There is big margin and good sales to be made from people that want to make their motorcycle look like something from the Village Peoples Christmas card.
It is the sign of true friendship,not telling your friend that he has just wrecked his motorcycle with $5000.00 worth of bolt on trinkets
Less is more
140 bucks for fender tips and they are still made out of plastic. C’mon guys you can do better than that.
I can’t be the only one to see the irony in advertising parts when, from what I’ve seen on other sites, Indian has fallen behind on delivering any assembled bikes to the faithful that plunked down some serious change before the unveil. I hope and believe that Polaris is going to make a real run, but got to be losing momentum from the big build up
Nobody obliges anyone to buy custom accessories. If Indian would not offer “added options”, many would complain. You can strip yours and not bitch about others.
Like Cyril, I prefer the naked Classic. Nothing to add.
I like the Cheiftain and can’t wait to ride one
Yes there is a delay but like others have said,
to bring a brand new cycle / engine to market & accessories in only 2 yrs.
Got to admit that’s pretty impressive.
Nice to hear about would be even nicer to ride, see & stuff be available
“Indian has fallen behind on delivering any assembled bikes”
Is September over?
Cyril had posted that shipments will begin in September in his report from Sturgis.
Has he reported a change to that or has Indian publicly stated a more specific date that has passed?
Steve, I’m not hating just observing. The last post mentioning delivery was August 18 and referred to about two weeks. That’s consistent with the posts on forums from those purporting to have made a deposits and were told to expect bikes one week to ten days ago. I’m not one of those fortunate folks and I don’t know if they are exaggerating or the recipient of overly optimistic dates from dealers, but I had gotten the overall impression that deliveries were going to commence last week. I want to see Indian’s momentum build and can’t wait to see what else the design team can accomplish.
Folks would also be complaining if they DIDN’T come out with these items, so it’s a no win if they listen to “the public”. One advantage Indian has (had) is that virtually nobody had a bike to develop aftermarket parts for these bikes, so they’d be fools to not do their own stuff ASAP before the aftermarket jumps in. Don’t know if the usual players got their bikes early since the secrecy was different compared to a “new Road King coming out” but you can bet they had the first orders in regardless.
Village Peoples Christmas card. ………….gotta love a blog on the net LOL
Cant wait to see these Pecker Touchers working for Indian at the Buffalo chip

Am I missing something, I have never gotten why anyone would bolt on stuff just because it is chrome?
is it made in taiwan,korea or china,,,,
morpion:”is it made in taiwan,korea or china,,,,” Like our prosperity I guess:made in Asia.
“They were already available at time of New Chief pre-orders on August 3rd!”
I call bullshit. First of all .. who cares if they were avail 3 Aug .. you can’t go pick them up .. they won’t ship it to you as of today .. and not a single bike has delivered to date ( though , they have ‘guaranteed’ they will begin shipping NLT 21 Sep )
That being said., MANY of the parts show in this article aren’t available / shipping until Dec.
So……………. to say “”They were already available at time of New Chief pre-orders on August 3rd!””
That folks .. is marketing at it’s best.
I test rode a new Chieftain on Sunday and was impressed it was a really nice bike and I hope they sell all they can make.
No shortage of whiney anti Indian haters…lol.
It would be nice to see a Girder front end, or leaf spring- for a real nostalgic look..
Yeah, J.H., how about a vintage-looking girder front end, with modern technology, for the new Scout? That would be interesting.
wonder if their jeans cost $60.00 and Tee shirts with logo for $30.00
Hope they don’t fall into the Harley merchandising markups.
Settle down boys, they said they would START delivery in Sept. , in my zip code it is just the middle of Sept. now. I have no axe to grind, but would think “anything worth having, is worth waiting for!” And no, I’m not buying one, just listening to all the whining…..
Oh yes , and they are going to sell a jillion logo tee shirts to owners and those who would like to be one , just like all the sidewalk commandos wearing Harley stuff.
Noting beats a classic look on bikes. These Indian parts are awesome because they can really bring on a classic look that even surpasses other brands. I wonder how much the parts cost though.
Took delivery of my Chief Classic (# 708 of 1901)October 5th, 2013 from Indian of Lincoln, NE
Second Indian they have delivered.
They had windshield in stock but balance of the ordered accessories have not been delivered.
I did receive a nice package from Indian yesterday including a stylish desk clock and card noting my motorcycle number.
Chief is even more beautiful in person!
