WOW! That would be an awesome engine for a trike for sure!

Right now you can do the mod on the Thunderstroke 111 engine to take it to 116. Total cost if at or just above $5,000 parts and labor.

That would be the only way they get anymore big money from me. I figure I have my last Indian. Just need to trike it or park it. But if they came out with a trike I'd be all over it. But it does seem to be a waste of money for only a few more months to maybe years of riding. My rides now are much further apart already. Just not sure I want to put anymore in that direction with my now very limited funds.

If only Polaris wasn't involved...

Even with all of the new bells and whistles appearing on these new Injuns, HD will still remain King of the road in the heavyweight market.

As nice as they look, the history of the Indian marque staying in business worries many into not spending Harley money on something that might not be around 5 years from now...:Shrug:

That's what was said in 014 when the new Indian first hit the streets. Not only still here, but growing. But this new engine has Victory all over it as far as I am concerned. So I think they've merged Victory into the Indian line-up. But you'll not hear them say it.

It did take them 18 years to 86Th Victory......:Shrug:...But they did incorporate a lot of Victory in Indians smaller bikes....

Don't blame you. I wouldn't trade you but I like it too. I searched for one before giving up and getting my Indian.

Very nice, lots of attention paid to that Valk Trike and it shows. Always liked how that Valk engine popped, Honda should not have dropped it.

Mechs made a good living on low time Hardlys and ford diesels for a lifetime

I understand trying to stay American Made supporting our own machinsts. But its hard to see mistakes made by USA builders get slammed more than other machines. Im also disappointed to see small mistakes like hot exhaust under the seat on the Indian, but look what Vic has overcame in a short time compared to others.

Mechs made a good living on low time Hardlys and ford diesels for 40/50 years ?

hardly is still 20 years behind a GL1800, try the mountains pulling a trailer I never owned a forn car or truck but the GL1800 was foundry to all the machining by Americans in Ohio plant under one roof. I owned a Tool & Die shop 41 years. I did all the design and mold building myself. Nothing matters pretty soon anyway with our USA going down the toilet unless we stand up along all roads.

IMHO there wont be a trustworthy V twin better than the Indian for another generation. Keyword, roadworthy.

I have friends who have new trikes by other Vtwins that can Not trust them away from home, breakdowns...2 time Nam vet also, pilot engineer

Last year When I was shopping for a trike at Roadsmith , They had several Indian trikes they just completed.

They were beautiful. The paint & finish looked so much better than the Wings they had there.

The engines looked great to

Well Monday will be 2 years I have had my Indian & my warranty will be up, Used it a few times to have check engine light shut off, sometimes the light comes on for no reason, Now with the pv3 I just clear it and its all good. I have had no problems with the Indian at all. I have done a lot of upgrades, Have a really good tune now, runs great, has really good power, good mpgs. & it RIDES GREAT !

This has been the best trike I have had. I had 5 Harleys & 1 GL1800, GL1800 was a great trike. The CSC part of my Indian has had problems, Bad paint, Bad differential, Bad rear wheel bearings & A Bad Shock. The GL 1800 had a bad rear shock & bad rear wheel bearings & was a CSC. I paid for & did all the repairs except the shock was replaced under warranty I installed it, the dealer paid me to repaint it. I think I will keep this one for a while. I have a little over 18000 miles on it, I still work full time 6 days a week.

Can a Trike be far behind...?

I would like to see one also. I was talking with the Greensboro Indian dealer last week and I asked them about it. They told me don't expect one in the future but he gave me a number to call of someone who could put a trike kit on for me. I don't know if it was the dealer or if it's the attitude of the motor company but they didn't seem real interested in a trike.

Su su sure. I shouldn't make fun although I did stutter bad when I was a kid. I was lucky enough to outgrow it. I don't wish it on anybody.

Yeah Mel Tillis stuttered pretty bad. A lot of people don't know but the strange thing is you don't stutter when you sing.

Factory Trike 1 Warrenty vs 2nd Party Warranty...

Considerations... A factory trike would simplify ordering, and make for one mgf warranty. However as with a Harley Tri Glide, if you want something other than a prescribed factory design for example - a solid axle rear suspension design, you're currently out of luck, noting that many aftermarket indy mod options do exist for the Tri Glide, of course with that multi-warranty caveat.

If you use a 2nd party trike modifier you deal with a blended/multi warranty (with the risk of finger pointing). However if you like a specific bike, and like a specific trike mod (with its mechanical design and style), from a reputable mgf/installer - you have the option of choosing from a wide range of modifier trike designs/kits.

We went with a 2021 Indian Roadmaster and two-color optioned Hannigan Trike kit with independent rear suspension, for the ride characteristics.

The classic/retro Indian styling, and the Hannigan trike style offering was a great match. The bike and trike mod features the striking Indian 2021 "Icon" colors of Arizona Turquoise w/ Pearl White, lending a classic 50's rear view look, that marries so well with Indian Roadmaster's classic/retro style.

Post A couple of pictures, I got a 21 Roadmaster with A CSC kit, 18500 trouble free miles. How long have you had it? Did you buy it triked or have it triked? Have you done any stage Upgrades Or tuning?
