Post Your Indian Trike Pictures Here

[Papa Zook]

The Indian Motorcycle Company is back and no doubt is here to stay. The good news for trike enthusiasts is that all of the major trike conversion manufacturers have followed suit, bringing some pretty amazing trike kits to market so this forum is for you Indian trike owners. If you are one, please share your trike pictures here.

Here are a few pictures of mine. A picture of our his and hers . A few close-ups of my pinstriping, but the pics don't do it justice and plus I'm a little challenged when it comes to editing the pics, somehow it makes them fuzzy .

 

[Papa Zook]

I edited your pics to enlarge them for you...how's that? You can do the same thing by double left clicking on each image and selecting 'full size' then 'OK'.

And yes that's a beautiful Indian - Hannigan!

Currently I have LeatherPro trunk on it. I've ordered a trunk from Heathers Leathers.

A pinstriper from Hummlestown, Pa. Her name is Hot Rod Jen. The pictures don't do it justice, she did an outstanding job.

Pictures rarely do. Still looks good though and in keeping with an Indian. I'm having some feathers done as well. Hope they turn out okay. I found out Friday how much it will cost. Can't hardly wait to see it but the guy wanted the weekend for things to dry before handling. You have to be prepared when it comes to price.

Please post pics of yours when done. I love looking at what people have painted on their bike/trike. I always say it ain't mine till I get that little bit of paint on it to make it mine. * * I'm sure it's going to look great.

Your right when it comes to the price. As long as you are happy with it. *You can't put a price on happiness. *

Who makes the kit on the last picture?

 

[Blueline]

The whole project was done by Cherokee Cycles-Greer SC for a competition. No description of parts-vendors-trike kit. Nonetheless, a major custom job!

Did some further research. Champion is the manufacturer of the Scout kit.

I saw this beautiful trike recently at Motor Trike and did a little research. Interesting article!

That Indian Scout/Champion conversion sure makes a great combination.

Who did your pinstriping,HC? I'm looking for someone in the NorTex area to do a little Von Dutch striping for me.

That would be Wayne Nolan. He's in Lewisville. He partners with I think the guys name is Chad Evans who does the airbrushing. But Nolan does the pin-striping. He has a Facebook account too. https://www.facebook.com/cwayne.nolan.3 Maybe that link will work. I'm not much into FB.

Thank you. The guy that used to do all my pinstriping, Steve Cox, has moved to Big Springs and is now semi-retired. Lewisville is a lot closer. I'm going to try to contact Wayne.

He'll remember the Blue Diamond. It was his very first done thru Big Tex Indian. It got him more jobs as a result too. As if he needed more.:Shrug:

Geeezzz--- Steve Cox.
Haven't heard that name in a while.
He pinstriped my 1982 Honda Silverwing Interstate 500 at the New Mexico rally in Ruidoso in 1983. Used to see him at all the Texas and New Mexico rallies. He pin-striped the ex-husband's '81 Gold Wing at the same time. I saw that bike a few years ago - someone had tried to remove the pin-striping but you could still see the image clearly - only the paint was gone. After the Silverwing I never pin-striped another bike - always afraid of re-sale value - that someone might not like the pin striping I chose. I've seen a lot of pin stripe jobs that were not my taste but some are just drop-dead gorgeous! Carla

Carla,I met Steve at our World of Wheels car show, in 1985. He did some work on my highly modded 79 CBX. From then on, when we built another hotrod bike at the shop, he was the only one I trusted to do the pinstriping on them. To each his own but I do not care for garish pinstriping that I see on a lot of touring machines. The old-school style of Von Dutch is my preference.

 

[paws]

Steve did both of those bikes in the Von Dutch like style. They were simple flowing/wavy lines - not as intricate as some of the styles. What we should not have had him add were our names and home town on the trunks. But, that was all the rage back then and in the heat of the moment we never anticipated selling them. Interestingly enough, that was how I was able to ID that old bike - could plainly see our names and home town on the trunk.

 

[clint44]

I just got off the phone with Wayne Nolan, in Lewisville. His shop is only a couple of hours away from here so I may drive down there some morning and let him do a few licks of the brush on our trike's trunk lid.

Thanks for the referral,HC.

 

[hogcowboy]

Glad I could help Clint. I wasn't sure about pin-striping my new Indian but it needed something to highlight the lines and not be just another Indian out there. Nolan seemed to know what old school was so turned him loose. My only instruction was no more than needed. Colors and actual design was up to him. Then I sat back with crossed fingers. As you can see, I don't mind suggesting him. If I was the least bit dissatisfied I wouldn't let his name out. Looks like that Blue Diamond is still getting him work. That's good. He really does do good work. But he's an artist and does not like being pushed. I saw him refuse to work on one guys bike for that very reason. He felt pushed so walked away. So just a word of warning there Clint.

 

[clint44]

Wayne definitely remembered you and your bike,HC. I think he and I will get along, fine. We've crossed paths a few times and have a few mutual acquaintances. However, if we can't agree on what I want done, I'll wish him well and ride back home.

Some of us Wichita Falls HOG members will be riding over to the Longhorn Cafe in Bowie, for breakfast, on Sunday morning. Sherry and I are thinking about riding along.

 

[hogcowboy]

Really! It's been awhile since I had breakfast there. If you get here fairly early I might show up just to meet you. But I'm an early bird and do have to get back to my cows and work them. Time for branding the newborns.:AGGHH:

EDIT: Crud. My wife just reminded me that I have surgery this morning on my ankle/leg. AGAIN! 8th one.

Sorry to bring up such an old post but after you gave credit to Hot Rod Jen I decided to look her up. Found lots of very nice work on Facebook. Looks like she stays very busy.

 

[DblTrbl]

Well I have this on layaway and will pick up in April. It's not a trike obviously but after looking over and comparing costs and looks..........If I can swing it, this could have a beautiful Hannigan Sidecar added. I really need a Sugar Momma LOL
