Darker Than Dark. Making the Indian Dark Horse Even Darker

Published by Cyril Huze July 24th, 2015 in Builders, Customs and Editorial.

1DarkHorse-Accessorized-52DarkHorse-Accessorized-3Black, the new Indian Motorcycle Red? The factory Indian Dark Horse has silver metallic parts (for ex. high flow air cleaner, the fender trim, the fuel gauge and fuel cap) asking for a darker treatment for those looking for an even more agressive and meaner machine.

Owners can switch to black Ape Hanger handlebars giving them the added bonus of being able to add black War Bonnet floorboards, a black War Bonnet toe peg, a black War Bonnet heel shifter peg and a black Pinnacle heel shifter to finish the look.

Black exhaust stage 1 kit (for US, Middle East and Africa) can also be fitted with fish tail tips and black heat shields.

And for those who use their machines to go touring, a black luggage rack and black grab rail ensures that no part has been left unaccounted for.  The black listed Indian Dark Horse parts after the jump.

The Black list:

Ape Hanger handlebars
High flow air cleaner
Fender
Pinnacle fender tip accents
War Bonnet toe peg
War Bonnet heel shifter peg
Pinnacle heel shifter
Fuel gauge
Fuel cap set
Pinnacle one-up luggage rack
Pinnacle solo rider grab rail
Exhaust shields
Fish tail exhaust tips
Indian Chief Stage 1 slip-on exhaust
Remus exhaust (for Europe)
Strut cover

    On a positive note: you can touch it up with Rustoleum if you ever scratch it.

    The black list should come standard on a new black bike instead of nickel and dimeing for extra hundreds of dollars.

    Instead of adding replacement parts, the thrust should be aimed at substitution of parts on the assembly line or deletion of parts on the assembly line.

    What a butt ugly motorcycle. Dang, you would think Indian would want to compete with Harley, but if this is the best they can do, they are out of the running. HD still makes the best looking scooters on the market.
