2022 Indian Chief 5,000 Mile Update - New Accessories - My Thoughts 

Hey man good seeing you too yesterday!!! Ride safe brother!!

Thank you!!

Thanks boss! Same to you; the Sport Chief is awesome! Great choice. Do you have stock exhaust setup and so on?

@@benattwiggcycles Modified stock exhaust shorten with the baffles from the Radiant GP Shorties to help with the back pressure.

@@JSMotorbiking-mo8tb Nice! I can't imagine that would have anything to do with the vibration you're noticing. Just mention it do your dealer next time you take it back to them. It could be a common thing on those. I'll have to take a spin on one of the 116's I have here at the dealership and see if I notice it as well.

@@benattwiggcycles No everyone with the 116 has it, is a characteristic of that engine, even with the factory exhaust that vibration was there.

Thanks Brother! I appreciate that.

Hey man! Thank you so much for the message! Definitely snag some crash bars if you can. There's a TON of options for these bikes. Lawless Garage, Dean Speeds, Indian OEM all have some great crash bars. And yes definitely get some parking lot practice in if you can somewhere safe. You know,,I've been thinking of doing some ride-along videos. I might have to look into that!

Hey there! The taller shield makes a huge difference. I made a 900 mile over-night trip which was probably 60% interstate riding and I didn't get fatigued whatsoever. The windshield also took a lot of the wind resistance off of me. I do also recommend checking out Freedom Shields as well. Since taking this video, I've actually sold the tall windshield and went to a slightly shorter, flared, windshield from Freedom Shields.

Hey there! Absolutely. Just call 301-739-2773 and ask for Ben or Mike in service. Thank you!

Hey there! Thank you for your comment. So I think it’s always important to note, ABS is a safety feature and benefit. That is a feature that riders can benefit from in the scenario of a possible panic stop to help prevent locking up the brakes. You’ll hear different stories from different riders. Some, possibly, more experienced riders will say they don’t like having it, and others will say they simply won’t own a bike with out ABS. From my experience, typically more experienced riders don’t like having ABS kick in. Then again they are more experienced and they know when and how proper braking is used and have possibly taken various riding courses. On the other hand, just about everyone I know who owns a motorcycle 600+lbs and up, prefer ABS because the bike is much heavier therefor it requires more braking to stop the bike. Also on that note, because the bike weights more, the bike is more prone to locking up the brakes. To directly answer your question, it’s up to you. I do not like ABS but then again, I’ve taken various safety courses and 13 years riding experience. But I’m certainly not perfect lol.

My Wife never mentioned the backrest being uncomfortable unless we were on for over an hour. I actually just switched out to a Mustang Tour Seat a week ago and really like it. Definitely cushier and also features a rider backrest which I use on long rides.
