Indian Chieftain Dark Horse - Two Year Owners Review 

@@vaderglide5978 my warranty expires in a few weeks and I’m trying to decide if I should purchase the extended protection plan given the issues I’ve had. It’s expensive tho so I’m not sure it’s worth it.

Hey, thanks! Appreciate the support.

Ya I probably would have had I known I couldn’t get the tour pack. I fell in love with the color. Oh well.. I’m still happy with it.

@@patrickbaker3674 ya.. the color is what sold me on the bike. I may look into an Advanblack at some point. For now I’m ok with the sissy bar and luggage rack on long trips.

I did. I had a 2012 Tbird. It was the blue with white race stripe. I did a Big Bore Kit.. and Air Box Delete. Had it dyno tuned too. That bike was a ripper. That bike got stolen.. and it really bummed me out. I probably would still have it otherwise.

@@randomstuffwithjoe Too ironic as I have the maroon/red version. Love it as well and hope to keep it as long as possible. I'd never think anyone would steal a heavy cruiser but I guess it happens. Does the Indian generate more heat I assume? The Triumph has none in that regard or the most part. Overall, which bike did you enjoy more?

They’re both very different bikes. The Indian definitely runs more heat, but in different places. On my Tbird, heat typically wasn’t an issue unless the fan came on. When that happened, it was much worse than anything I’ve experienced on the Indian. The Indians heat is mostly near my right ankle (exhaust header heat). I’ve been able to reduce it by gutting the CAT. I don’t really notice much heat overall unless I’m stuck in traffic. The Indian is quite a bit more comfortable and the tech is fantastic. If I could only have one of them.. I’d definitely choose the Indian. But the Triumph was awesome too.
