    What was the price tag on that baby? I'm guessing $40,000? Great looking trike. CSC, or Hannigan? Tom

    Default I really like . . . .

    . . . . Indian Motorcycles - especially vintage, say around 1948 - which is my 'vintage' also. And I really like some trikes too.

    This, not so much. Not for me, but I am sure it hits the sweet-spot for some.

    Default Nice But Pricey

    Considering that new 2015 Roadmaster in two-tone is about $28,000 for just the bike I would guess the triked out price is well over $40,000 out-the-door. Sweet looking and very retro!!

    Not sure on price, due to health reasons they traded 2 nice machines in for it. The retro look is cool. Lots of lights on back for higher visibility and a deep throaty tone. The next addition will be for Joe Friday-the dog.

    Was fond of Indians as a young kid. The only thing this trike is missing is a set of 1950s Caddy fins!

    I like the paint scheme, and I've always liked the look of Indians. I've not seen one of these, but I've seen a modern Victory trike.

    Hannigan and Roadsmith both do trike conversions on the Indian. Cherokee Cycles has a Chieftain listed for 39,999.

    Default 2015 Roadmaster

    The Roadmaster is a full-dresser version of the Chieftain with a tour-pack trunk, lowers on the crash-bars, upgraded seat and a few other details.

    Saw one almost exactly like this at the rock store last week, same color and everything. Was VERY nice looking, but i bet it couldn't keep up with an RT, especially in the corners, trikes dont handle so well.

    They said it handles great in the corners, because it has independent suspension. They can lean into the corners like we do.

    I really, really, really like that Indian trike. Five years ago, I would have been on the net to find and purchase one (given all the current parameters were in place). If you like retro looks, this is for sure the bomb.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Sweet ride. Has to be an aftermarket kit as Indian does not offer a factory trike.

    Default I did a quick look . . .

    . . . . . and the ROADSMITH IC-RTrike Conversion kit for Indian Chieftain and Roadmaster at trikeshop.com is probably about $20k ( options will make some difference ).

    That is the kit ( including painting ). Installation and motorcycle are extra.
