During 10 months, 11 North America Indian dealers worked hard to build the most badass Chieftain bagger they could imagine.
Indian has put these bikes up for a vote HERE. The top three bikes will be unveiled at an Indian VIP party in Daytona Beach during Daytona Bike Week in March.
And when you vote you get a chance to win a 2017 Indian Chieftain of your own. Each daily vote is equal to an entry in the sweepstakes. Voters can vote daily to increase sweepstakes entries and chances to win. VOTE NOW…
Already did it !!!
but no Big Wheel bikes !!!
Are 26 and 30 inch front wheel baggers no longer considered Big Wheel bikes? Have a closer look Blackmax.
Seriously? For a competition like this and only a couple bikes that appear to be professionally photographed? People are going to vote on the way the bike looks and unless it’s photographed well, no one will see what the bike really looks like. A sad reflection on the motorcycle industry’s approach to representing their product.
Hey Cyril,
The build time was just 90 days. On day one, the dealers found out what bike platform was to be used and sign up for the contest. In three short months, the bikes had to be built and photographs submitted. Only other ‘rule’ was that three official Indian Accessories had to be incorporated into the build.
Great job guys, some very cool bikes…
I kind of like the fact that these new Indians don’t have a foot clutch and a hand shit , as the last Indian that I rode was like that ! I would love to be the proud owner of any of the great bikes you have pictured here….Bryan Roberton…….
I had to vote for “Force Fed” and not just because it’s semi local to me. I like the fact that it’s cosmetically conservative and losing the skirted front fender really helps (for me, anyways). I love the pant on it.
The main reason I voted for it though is that, as the old saying goes, “Injection is nice but I’d rather be blown.”
B Roberton: What is a hand “shit”?
Charles E , as it just so happens I left out the > F < and you are right on top with your observation..
Oh No, didn’t Victory have one of these right before their demise!!! lol
Wonder what the horsepower is on “Lighting Bolt”.
Bored out to 119 Cu.In.
Loved the use of carbon fiber, too.
That turn-out exhaust on “Violet Tendencies”… wow…
What I meant was I did not pick a “big wheel” to win !
My thought the 30-inch wheel is just like te 300 series rear tire a few years back
Much too much !!!
Anything bigger than a 23 to me is a waste of time
I know people love them & guys say that they ride great
just not my cup of tea !!!
Sorry i was misunderstood, Doc ….
i voted for Barnstorm. i am not a fan of the bling paint, but the overall bike is more in line with something i would ride myself. i hate the shape of indians bags, and this one cut them down nicely.
i dont like the dropped rear ends and the tall front wheels of many of these bikes.
