That was impressive as well as entertaining. It amazes me how you get so many pieces off and then remember every little detail to the extent that nothing is left over or left unplugged.
Thanks for making this video, This is probably #1 major repair challenger owners have to do. As the original block wears out after a couple seasons of use, just after the warranty expires. And it's a 1000 dollar dealer fix. (on the cheep end)
Ohhhh that would scare the shit outta me…. But in the name of learning and operating outsides of my comfort zone, I gotta try. Awesome display of mechanical prowess dude!
I had the warranty fix this weak spot on my 2022 Chieftain. Then I ordered the metal replacement. I also learned not to make the windshield auto lower or raise by itself. This small step I was told can improve the life of the plastic worm gear and it's plastic carrier. I could be wrong. No issues though for years. So we will see.
You my man need to be sponsored by Indian motorcycle and all the aftermarket parts for them get you a bigger shop too your changing the Indian movement love the videos technical in teaching gave me a higher iQ 🎉
Had the same thing happen to my 2018 Chieftain. But it was covered with the extended warranty. Not sure why they used plastic that breaks easy. I`m thinking safety in a wreck. Good job being able to fix it yourself.
I've got the same problem with my 2020 Challenger my local dealer in Birmingham Alabama said that Indian is aware of the problem and will fix it but guess what they wanted to charge me for the installation, $300.00. I love the bike but having to pay for a known problem has gotten me to think about other brands.
My buddy at work already had to replace that piece as well. I can understand saving cost in manufacturing, but what made them think a plastic piece would last very long??
I just did some cosmetic dress up stuff on my Indian Springfield this weekend, that had me crawling along the ground unbolting this and that and putting it back together, I don't know how you do it Brandon, but I'm lame af right now. Of course going on 70 years might have something to do with it. If I'd known I was going to live this long, I would've taken better care of my body. "Honey! Have you seen the Advil?!"
Haha! I do have my days where working nonstop makes the body tired. I practice yoga and stretching so that helps tremendously. It’s the difference in feeling stiff and being able to leap out of bed the next day.
The replacement part number and supplier would have been handy, Morris is a Man of few words but he's right doing your own work is very gratifying 👌I guess the mallet will be called Morris from now on🤣
I love doing jobs on my bike but I am filled with terror at the idea of getting in too far and not being able to get it back together or breaking something. The idea of paying someone 300 bucks to have the guy who sweeps the floor doing a half assed job also terrifies me. I need to have freinds like Brandon.
that plastic worm gear was the bane of my existence. I upgraded to the metal worm gear. It was a task to get to because of the location, buuuuuut all worth it for my Chieftain.
Check the comments. Someone else asked and I posted it there. There’s a dude on Facebook that sells the piece. That’s more than likely why it’s not working.
Check with dealer first...indian has extended the warranty on this issue!! They replace the entire moter assembly and the replacement has the aluminum drive gear!
I dig this video. Dude has the patience of a saint. I would have said "f*ck it!" hours ago. Thank god...for Extended Service Plan! I am not messing with this. I would be drinking a beer or three, and eventually break something.
unless it's click bait u may wanna rename video, I was thinking MOTOR ENGINE..... anyway this was more of a Polaris paint torture test.... oh the cringe 😮. keep doing ya thang king.
Can order it direct from Indian. This part was from someone in a Facebook group so no part number. It’s mentioned in the comments where to get it. Just how dude sells the part unfortunately
Loved how Morris kept it interesting… lol😂 he is such a character
Might want to use a tank and fender protector. Less dents and paint chips from falling screws and tools.
That was impressive as well as entertaining. It amazes me how you get so many pieces off and then remember every little detail to the extent that nothing is left over or left unplugged.
Right. Good thing we have video to reference! It was an easy job tbh.
That "gratified" feeling is hard for others to understand. If you know you know type of deal. Really enjoyed the video.
Exactly.
That’s awesome! Loved the Thor bit too. This is what it’s all about.
Morris seems like a fun guy to hang around
He is!
The thor and heman lines are awesome. Wow thats a lot of work to fix that
It's not that bad tbh. Maybe an hour to tear down to it and an hour to get it back together.
Ok, he’s funny. And did a great job. You need to have Morris here more often😊
This was non-stop the whole day too
@@BrandonBicasso definitely someone I’d love to ride with 😎
Morris made me laugh. Thank you

“Cause this is Alabama”
Makin’ the bike better, Morris is a fun friend

More on that idea later. I appreciate the thought! Just doing what I love tbh.
Brandon and Morris....work together good ...more work together..please..😊👍👍👍

Yeah, if you have a windshield and it's either up too high or down too low, could cause a bad day.

Hey, I'll do it for free for ya.
I may take you up on your offer, where are you?
@@williamash3017 Montgomery
Yall make it look too easy! Also, you should bring Thor back on for future builds!
My buddy at work already had to replace that piece as well. I can understand saving cost in manufacturing, but what made them think a plastic piece would last very long??
Hey Brandon, where did Morris find that aluminum replacement for the windshield motor? I’ve found a few but wondered where he found his? Thanks!

I want to hang out with you guys so bad! You’ll seem like a blast 👍
If you're ever in the area, hit me up! He stays not too far from me so it was convenient.
The replacement part number and supplier would have been handy, Morris is a Man of few words but he's right doing your own work is very gratifying 👌I guess the mallet will be called Morris from now on🤣
Dude doesn’t have a website. You have to send him a message on Facebook. “Steve tha-yeti kovacs”
This dude funny af
Hope he comes back
WOW @BrandonBicasso, you got all, I mean ALL my foolishness! LOL!
Man the amount of things to remove to get to that quick fix is nuts but you all kept it worth the watch.
Yeah, it's a lot but tbh, not a hard job knowing how the pieces connect.

Nice one Morris. Looks like the start of another Dynamic Duo? 🤔😄😄
King Kong ain't got nothing on you, Morris. Your "Training Day" Denzel was icing on the cake.
He forgot to give you your props for telling him how to do it step-by-step. 👍
Haha, he did this himself. I learned from him 100%!
Warranty replacement like for like you got upgraded items which is why we wrench
Brandon - where did you source the new aluminum part from ? Can you provide a link? Thanks
Dude doesn’t have a website. You have to send him a message on Facebook. “Steve tha-yeti kovacs”
He goes from being so quiet to goofy 🤪 lol 😂
Facts 😂😂
Awesome how to vid.
Nothing better than turning wrenches with bros
Hell yeah!! King Kong ain't got shit on him!!!!😅😅😅
He did like 5 other impressions off camera. Spot on too.
that plastic worm gear was the bane of my existence. I upgraded to the metal worm gear. It was a task to get to because of the location, buuuuuut all worth it for my Chieftain.
So sad a new bike like that has such a major flaw.
Love from Mississippi USA 🇺🇲
Great video
Where can I order that part !?!?
Great content-your friend is pretty funny.
It’s probably a good thing he was channeling He-Man and Thor instead of Skeletor and Hulk 😂😂😂
Dude is a trip
All authentic too haha
Just happened to me. Thanks for sharing !
what is that after market piece? my windshield stopped going up and down. is that the reason?
Check the comments. Someone else asked and I posted it there. There’s a dude on Facebook that sells the piece. That’s more than likely why it’s not working.
Thank you for this great video!!!
Sure thing, David! Glad you got value from it!
@@BrandonBicasso value and a few laughs too!!! 😊
Who makes that aftermarket part.
ua-cam.com/video/9OenfJwWYac/v-deo.html. I think Paul mentions it in his description 🇦🇺
“Steve tha-yeti kovacs” on Facebook
Check with dealer first...indian has extended the warranty on this issue!! They replace the entire moter assembly and the replacement has the aluminum drive gear!
On the up side you didn't have to lay up the bike for a week😊
Yep. Would've been at the dealer for days.
Indian really needs to step up and replace all of those with metal under warranty. Dumb thing to make out of plastic!
I dig this video. Dude has the patience of a saint. I would have said "f*ck it!" hours ago. Thank god...for Extended Service Plan! I am not messing with this. I would be drinking a beer or three, and eventually break something.
How long did that take?
Couple hrs
@@BrandonBicasso cheers my boy
unless it's click bait u may wanna rename video, I was thinking MOTOR ENGINE..... anyway this was more of a Polaris paint torture test.... oh the cringe 😮. keep doing ya thang king.
Nope, it's really an electrical motor component that failed. I don't clickbait haha.
I hope you took a wire tie and got that wire out of the way
At least place a towel over your front guard to minimalise damaging it 🇦🇺
Damn Man you could've used a power drill.😂🤣😂🤣😂
Truuue. Only this way to show people they don’t need power tools to get it done.
great video lol
I guess that is why you should have a fixed windshield... LOL
Definitely, but it won't tear up again. It's not that hard of a job.
Part Number?
Can order it direct from Indian. This part was from someone in a Facebook group so no part number. It’s mentioned in the comments where to get it. Just how dude sells the part unfortunately
Peace
👍😎
😊😊😊
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
What a pain in the ass just because he got Klocked.
TU!!!!!
🐅!
Indian upgraded their gear and replaced the whole motor as well under warranty which they extended. You didn't have to spend your own money
Its a major flaw in all their adjustable windshields.
Dude, that's a lot of plastic!
Weight and cost savings, right?
Good job, now go eat.
