Chaps for my Indian

[acinpcola]

Just thought I would post a couple of pictures showing the chaps I made for my Indian Chieftain. Bring on the chilly weather.

how do you like the indian, my friend don ordered a 2015 because the leather on the 14's were fading and the 15 had a new treatment done to them.

Let's see if I can answer all questions,

1. Bob I used a soft leather, lined it with a soft material as to not scratch the highway/crash bars. I once made a set of these for my wife's old VTX 1300 out of denim they do keep the warmth of the engine in the seat and leg area.

2. Akspyderman, Only a bit chilly here in the northwest panhandle of Florida, temps do get into the 30's here.

3. Cuzn, I enjoy my Indian very much, is well balanced. I have a Chieftain with the black leather, the problem was with the brown leather. I never thought I would ride 2 wheels again, but when I sat on the bike the seat height was perfect, and when I took it off the kick-stand it was so well balanced that I could not even tell I was holding up an 800+ pound bike.

Al,
No doubt; She's a Beauty!!
How are you splitting your time between the two bikes; you don't want one of them starting to feel left out...

Oh no worries there Bob, most times if I ride one in the morning then the other gets a ride in the afternoon. They do get into it sometimes in the garage I have caught them in a stare down more then once.

The chaps look good.....I have 2 Harley's in the "bike barn" that are getting mad at me cause I ride the all the time...we are now into the rainy season so I probably won't be riding much at all....I hate the riding in the rain....

What a great problem to have. I think that Indian is going to soon be a very good brand. Love that 2015 Roadmaster also.

Al,
Glad to hear that for the most part; they're getting along just fine!
