  • Welcome back everyone. Today I am showing you a step-by-step installation of the Indian sissy bar onto my Chieftain Dark Horse. This installation will be the same for the Indian Springfield motorcycles and all Indian Chieftain models. I will also be showing you how to remove the Indian touring hard saddlebags in the process of this installation. I am also doing the permanent installation of the sissy bar, which is the same as the quick release installation, I just add the tamper proof bolt so the sissy bar can not be removed and stolen as long as your saddlebags are locked.
    You will need the following tools for this installation:
    4mm hex head socket
    6mm hex head socket
    Torque wrench for your sockets (you will need to be able to adjust torque to 25 ft. lbs. of force and 7.5 ft. lbs. of force).

    Great install, I like the quick release so I don’t use the lock screws. I recommend getting the rear crash bars. I have them in my chieftain and they saved my saddle bags. When my foot slipped on some gravel and the bike went down. The bike rested very nicely on the front and rear crash bars.

      That's my plan! Get those highway bars installed next. How did your front fairing survive? Any scratches or issues?

    Great video. I know it's 3 years old but still helpful. I was thinking about having the dealership install one for me. Glad I found this...Looks simple enough I think I'll be installing it myself.

      Yup. Absolutely ridiculous. But there isn't another sissy bar and backrest that has the same quality and comfort available from anyone else right now, and I needed it for the wife. I'm glad I got it, it looks great on the bike, but it is way overpriced....

      Agreed. My heart wants an Indian Chief Vintage or Springfield. But my brain is saying it's crazy. If they'll charge $700 for an optional sissy bar, what will they take me for when something goes wrong and I *need* parts and labor. Not inspiring confidence. But... It's so beautiful... drool. 🤤

    I just prepped my 2018 Chieftain Limited by installing the bushings on the spools. The sissy bar would not snap in place, in fact the rear part wouldn't even come close to fitting on the spools I will end up taking off the front bushings in order to get the sissy bar to snap into place. Since the sissy bar has rubber around the front forks, it should keep it from rattling and the rear bushings should keep it snug. I gave up for today but will take the bags off again tomorrow and remove the front bushings and see if I can get it to snap into place. I even used a rubber mallet trying to pop the rear forks onto the spools and it wasn't going to go...ugh! I sure hope it works better tomorrow; however, I thank you for the great video explaining how it all goes together...easy peasy (if it only fit). Thanks!

      I do not have a video for the passenger seat yet - But since you asked, I will make one! The part number for the sissy bar is: 2880832-266 Now, you will have to get the padded backrest to add on to it - that number is just for the bar. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

      @MOTOBLADE  5 років тому +1

      Yes, these are the stock Indian seats for the 2018 Chieftain. 2019 has a different seat which isn't as comfortable in my opinion, but you can still get these seats from Indian for the 2019.

    • @MOTOBLADE

      I believe it will fit the Springfield as well. If you want to double check the model year, you can find the sissy bar on IndianMotorcycle.com and see if it fits your exact model and year. They have an easy selection too that shows you for sure.

      I believe it will since they have the same frame in the back between the chieftain and springfield. If you go to Indian Motorcycle's website, then go to the item (sissy bar), it will tell you what models and what years it is compatible with. Hope that helps!
