- I give you the good and bad news about owning an Indian Motorcycle for three years and putting 30k miles on this platform. Multiple Iron Butt rides and 2,000 mile trips and upgrades, have put this thunderstoke motor to the test. Get my real thoughts on whether or not this bike can stand the test of time.

I live in Dubai and I have a 2017 chieftain with stage 1 and 2 upgrades that I purchased new in 2019. I just passed 30,000 miles in 26 months in a variety of conditions, including extreme heat with ambient temperatures that have exceeded 120 Fahrenheit on many occasions. I ride very fast, very frequently and very hard. I’ve encountered the same fear sensor situation that you have just now, but other than that the bike has never given me a single problem. The engine kicks over every time, runs like a watch and makes a beautiful sound. I often ride through sand storms and the chrome has taken a beating, but I took it to a detail shop and the bike looks brand new.
Indian makes an awesome product. I’m preparing to buy a house in the states and the first vehicle I’m going to buy is a challenger. I could never imagine owning a Harley….
Wonderful description and account of the varied and difficult conditions these bikes can deal with. I’ve seen two year old Harley’s with pitting all over the front forks and to me that’s inexcusable.
@@TwoIndians to be honest, over here the Harley’s always break down. They have a line outside the workshop door… problems with seals, parts failure, engine failures, cosmetics… everything. I know four men who each bought a CVO. All four CVOs showed up at the same time and all four CVOs were back in the shop because of damaged engines due to oil leaks. It took four months for the parts to arrive. These guys paid close to $40k for bikes that have been in the shop more than they have been on the road. Unforgivable.
@@HarrisBinUAE Conditions shouldn't matter, if a bike costs 40k it should be more reliable than an 8k yamaha.
It's not unlikely to find 20 year old Japanese bikes with 120k on the clock running like new.
Wow .is the bike air cooled? Guess it does handle the heat pretty good
@@RaulGarcia-cg3vn it’s the air-cooled 111cui version of the thunder stroke engine. I recently passed 45,000 miles without a problem. The engine is extremely impressive.
My 2016 Springfield just rolled 100K kms and is as strong as the day I bought it. Fantastic machine and is proving to be rock solid.
Awesome!
Got my '16 in Sturgis this year and I love it, I don't foresee me going back to Harley, ever. Love the videos, keep em coming.
Thabks BBB!!
To me, the classic fender looks great and that is one of the reasons I bought an Indian. It makes it stand out from the endless Harleys I see on the road. That's what makes it distinctive could never understand why anyone would change that lol.
Hey man, people customize their bikes, that’s what it’s all about.
Dude I've watched all your reviews for this bike, and just went to the dealership and sat on the Springfield Dark Horse and the Springfield. Trying to move up from a Vstar 1100 Classic and I'm in love with the Springfield because your videos!
That’s awesome! I love hearing that and honestly sometimes I think I’m just whistling in the wind but whenever I get I comment like yours it makes me feel better. Thanks for watching!
On my second Indian. First a vintage and now my chieftain Dark horse. Love the 111 Thunder Chief platform, and except for the gear position indicator issue the only other problem I had was a moisture issue on the 17 vintage speedo head. I put 30k on the Vintage and another 12k on the Chieftain. I agree with your assessment on the quality of Indian engineering. I don’t see me getting rid of my Chieftain. If the motor starts to get tired I’ll just have the 116 kit put in. Ride safe.
Seems they have had an issue with that sensor across all their models.
@@WarPaintCustom unfortunately that does seem to be the case. 2nd and 6th gear after the recall “fix”. It’s a mild PITA, easy to deal with but still a PITA.
Love my 2015 CV "my forever bike" Apart from having the recalls done I've had zero issues.
Congrats on passing the 30K mark...the bike is a beauty. Great video as usual. 👊👍🇺🇸
I've had my chieftain for two years. My front brake rotors warped. Indian paid for aftermarket rotors and I paid for labor.
Ive never heard about brake rotors warping, especially both of them. Wow, glad to hear they stepped up!
Your narration sounds great! I’m always amazed at how well that can pick your voice up while riding. I CANT WAIT to get my Springfield dark horse and your review solidifies that decision even more.
Ps… that dude with the beard and all the fringe is kinda cute.
My stunning 2019 Indian Springfield in gray and burgundy and I concur! The epitome of retro class. The TS 111 or 116 is an industrial jewel that belongs in the Smithsonian. Cruiser heaven, all day, every day!
Sweet bike and cool video, thanks for taking us along for the ride 👍
You’re welcome, I enjoy it so we both had a good time hahaha
Hello Brian, thanks for the video really enjoy all of the content that you 2 give to us Have a great rest of the week and a great weekend . But Most of all Stay safe out there
Oh my gosh you’re too kind my dear!
Great review! Looks like I am going to have to save up my change for a big bore Kit!
Thanks for your 30,000 mile review I just upgraded from my Indian scout 60 that had 125,000 miles on it, three weeks ago I purchased
Indian Springfield dark horse I love Indian my second bike from Indian.
they make a phenomenal product I’m looking forward to another 100,000 plus thousand miles on my Springfield Darkhorse I just subscribe to your Channel and I’m looking forward to more content.
awesome! dude, we have some great stuff that will be relevant for you AND goes well beyond just my Springfield. Travel videos, how to's and reviews, enjoy! Thanks for subscribing!
125k on a Scout? How was it? I ride mine hard and put it away wet and it only has 7100 miles... lmao.
Got about 36000 on my 17 Springfield and still loving every mile ridden
Good video. My Gear position sensor went out. My front wheel speed sensor went out. Switched out 2 ECMs along with 2 v regs. Last thing I had to do was the stator/rotor. Had it changed. The original was going bad. I could have left it for a while but I usually do long trips so taking no chances. Anyways that at 50k Miles. I'll say it's been a good bike.
thats a lot of work, hitting 58 this year i can relate, LOL
@@TwoIndians I hit 58 early October. I get it.
An Indian is in my future. I keep saying that and it’s gonna happen when the timing is right. Thanks for sharing your epic adventures.
R J you won't regret it. I love my vintage.
@@ericsuperhawk funny you mentioned vintage as I’ve mentally went from the Challenger to the Chieftan to the vintage. Right now it’s the front runner.
@@602North honestly I wish I would have gotten the Springfield. Don't get me wrong every time I ride somebody approaches me in a parking lot telling me they love that brown leather.
To get in and out of my saddlebag I have to bend over and unhook them leather straps that hang kind of low. At least the Springfield hard bags lid unlock switch is at the top for easy access.
Small stuff I know. Also Indian is STRUGGLING keeping that brown BROWN. IT FADES pretty bad. I "redyed" mine into a slightly darker less reddish color.
The ability to REMOVE the windshield and bags for me personally is a big deal.
As far as power, performance, reliability, fun factor, easy cruise control, 6 very usable gears.. Brian nailed it man.
I HAD a Yamaha stratoliner that I THOUGHT was my forever bike until I saw Brian's Indian. I was sold.
@@ericsuperhawk wow I had a Strat as well. Loved that bike. Then a few Harley ultra’s. I have a CanAm F3-L right now which works great for wife and I to travel together. She got her MC license so looking for something for me to ride solo.
Definitely a loyal fan of the man! She sure is pretty! That’s funny all we have are twisties up here. Actually you put more miles on your bike than I do mine due to the horrendous weather we have 6 months of the year. That’s great that it hasn’t given you many issues. Ha I have a 96ci and it has more than enough power for me 😂. You’ve done a lot to that thing! Yes the bars are very important IMO. Mine are custom made to my liking. Great video buddy thanks for sharing. Having a bad morning but I made it through you and Spotts!
Hey!! Spotts ain't so bad!! Ha ha
@@ericsuperhawk is the man!
@@RidingHumboldtCounty ha ha ok.
Great review Brian….and very honest. The way you keep your Springfield in tip-top shape, and all the mods you put on it….it partly the reason I have one in my garage. As I’ve said….you’re the most expensive friend that I have….that I’ve never met!!! But we’re gonna change that soon. Keep up the great vids my friend. @DCcycler
LOL! Awesome buddy! I look forward to the day we can go ride together and I’m glad I can help you find so many ways to empty your wallet…I mean, improve your ride. Message me and we’ll get together!
@@TwoIndians LOLOLOLOL = so you now hold 4th place at emptying my wallet behind wifey and two daughters !!! Def will reach out. Lots of friends in various parts of FL to see
sweet longterm review! I got to ride a springfield dark horse for a little bit a few weeks ago. was a wonderful bike!
I absolutely love it.
That's just awesome! I can definitely tell!
Great timing mate.. back after a day's ride and chillin.. and this pops up.. Sweet.
Were you recording??
@@ericsuperhawk no mate had a vid free day as its places we have been many times before. Plus trying sort out what new cameras I'm going to get.
@@digbysdownunder Welcome to my world. I've noticed the 100,000+ subscriber providers getting 360 cameras and honestly I'm not impressed.
I WANT to upgrade but NOT just for the heck of it.
I feel like I could offer someone $50 and a meal to run my current set up getting cool done shots and such of me flying by and it would be money better spent.
I could make 10 movies with a "crew" for the cost of the newest GoPro.
@@ericsuperhawk yep.. I'm looking seriously at the instar cam.. looks real good but not real keen on the 360.. just the 1inch.. will see.
Can't believe you mentioned the gear sensor.. had mine replaced 3 times. First one done for legal reasons so had no choice, but i hadn't had a Problem.. after the replacement along came the problems. I believe it's getting dirt on them and jus needs wiping. This has got me thinking on doing a review on mine.. 87.000klms now.. great vid mate.
Yeah they have an issue across all their models it seems with that sensor.
@@WarPaintCustom mine was fine intill it got replaced.
@@digbysdownunder there is a recall. Anything manufactured under theb"vovid" seems to be subpar. I've been waiting since March for mine. But it hasn't come back on so I'm just rolling with it.
@@WarPaintCustom yep that's why mine was replaced because of the recall.. had to be replaced 3 times after that. But all good will so can't complain.
Really dig these videos, great to see real owners providing content and not just a random “review” which is no more than a short half an hour test ride from a guy or gal that doesn’t even own the bike.
Thanks man, I try to be unbiased but when you love the bike it’s hard to be critical. Still have this bike and my Challenger now, rode the Springfield last to go meet some friends and had an absolute rip on it. Loved it
This video is EPIC!!! That ride you just took: That reminds me of any direction from my house. Ha ha
I just added a Springfield Darkhorse to the Messygarage. Looking forward to making some content on that bike when we are through the winter.
Did you keep the Scout?
@@TwoIndians yep. so now I'm the messygarage withtwoindians :)
Your TRIPS are epic man. Your stamina is legendary.
Nice review. Presently I ride a Honda CBF 1000. I’ve ridden for over 43 years and am finding the crouching a little much as I get older. My next ride will be a road king or a Springfield. Nice to hear your experience with the Indian has been so good. I’ll keep your comments in my mind as I make my choice. It’s so hard. Like your button issue, first world problems, eh! Thanks. Rob. 😎
I wanted a RK originally but after riding the Springfield there is no comparison.
Nice review. I love what Polaris has done with the Indian brand. Unfortunately didn't work out for me. I bought a 2015 Indian Chief Vintage back in 2015 and have only put less than 9K miles on it and currently having the fourth gear indicator replaced. It won't go back into neutral therefore I can't start the bike. Looks great in my garage, would be nice if I can ride it. Working with Polaris/Indian to buy the motorcycle back from me. Design flaw and not saying I can build a better bike, but was a big disappointment. Keep the rubber side down.
2016 Springfield, couple places mentioned not able to put apes on, will ask around again. Hell's Kitchen nyc.
Yeah I’ve heard the same thing. You can put aftermarket bars on them but the 18 and up bars won’t fit.
A great video. My 2021 RM will guzzle fuel at speeds above 80 mph. Besides that. I love it.
So we just finished a long road trip and much of it was run at close to 90. MPG drops to like 29. I did some math when we got back and I figured out that if we cruised at 78-80 we’d get there in roughly the same time because the higher speed requires more fuel stops. You save no time
@@TwoIndians and that's facts.
LOL as a matter of fact I only did that because I noticed we kept passing the vehicles over and over again. Hahaha. It was like “I get the feeling we’re getting there any faster LOL. I mean we were getting 15mpg less.
Nice review. 👊🏾
Appreciate it
I have an 03 Gilroy with 14,000 miles I've owned it for a year I love my bike but running through some age problems need to put my primary belt on this winter hopefully no problems next season
2017 Chieftian LTD. with the 111. Bought new and rode hard. Still in love with her.
Love my Chief Vintage!!! These bikes are amazing!! Thanks for all your videos brother
This is why I do it! Thanks!
Looking real hard at getting a Springfield. I’m 54, haven’t been on a bike since I wrecked one 36 years ago. It’s time. Man I miss it.
It’s been a great bike for me. I just added a Challenger to the stable as well and it’s a better touring bike but I still love running the Springy around town
I also have a very similar experience with my 2017 Chieftain Limited. Just hit 30,000 miles and no issues. I believe Polaris did a great job with these bikes. For it being a first generation of their Indian models. I for one look at Polaris purchasing Indian as a positive. You need big money to be able to compete with the other brands. Competition between companies are a great thing for the consumers. I look forward to see what Indian does next.
Me too!
I totally agree. Polaris purchasing the rights to Indian was a great thing. They’ve poured a ton of money into the brand and the products and you can see it in the innovative tech, the fantastic engines and the incredibly balanced frames.
I REFUSE to watch this video until I can cast it on the big screen.
Becky is finishing up some stupid movie by Quentin Tarantino. No way it's as good as what I'm about to watch. Brian I can't wait.
I just bought my first Indian and have been watching your vids for some time. I got a 20017 Springfield with 2900 miles. I’m happy to hear I have a lot of miles to put on it. It’s most likely my last motorcycle as I’m 67
You couldn’t have made a better choice. I have almost 40k on mine now and even though I have a Challenger now also, the Springy is still in heavy rotation and love every minute of it
Very nice!! You got my mind thinking re: mid-rise bars (mid rise right? Indian branded?) Had tendon surgery 3 years ago, so with active riding position on stock Indian RoadMaster bars for 4+ hours on twisties in NC, my arms get a little sore. 2016 Scout and 18 RoadMaster; both flawless performance and reliability with around 40k miles between the two. If a third bike became a possibility, the Springfield would be a strong contender to add to my stable.
Gear sensor issue; had original replaced and that failed a year later - but no issue with cruise control; I always know which gear I’m in so … will eventually get it replaced.
indian motorcycles are the best
I agree.
Love the channel. Just subscribed! About to buy a 2016 Springfield. Is it possible to get a front fender like you got on a '16? Bike looks awesome. That's the look I want. Thanks.
Yeah man, Indian sells them pre-painted in whatever color you like. Might take a few weeks to get them but it’s worth it. Even though I bought the Challenger I still ride and love my Springy. Thanks for subscribing!! Really appreciate your support.
I had to get a new speedometer on my 2020 Springfield dark horse. I was upset about the thought of having to set the miles back to zero but when they put the new one in it pulled up with all my original data. Even the guy at the dealership was shocked and said they must have changed it for 2020 on speedo swaps. Just an fyi to anyone out there with a newer bike hesitant of changing the speedo
Wow, that is very interesting. That means the data is held in the ecu vs the speedo. The service guys are pretty convinced my bike would be different but I’m wondering if they’re also wrong about that. Hmmmm🤔
@@TwoIndians I would probably be hesitant on a 2017 as well because I researched a lot before hand and a lot of people had the same issue of having it reset to zero on the late 20-teens models of bikes. Maybe in 2020 they changed it to store in ecu I’m not sure if that’s true for every 2020+ model or not but I can confirm the 2020 dark horse was that way. Mine was swapped under warranty with about 3000 miles on it due to moisture getting inside the factory one.
All Speedo data is stored in the ecm. The speedo is just a display of the data. As long as you get an oem speedo that is year and model specific you will be good to go.
Such a gorgeous bike. The colour, the front wheel upgrade.. dream bike🙏
Thank you so much!
good review. i like your idea on 16" ape handle bars and better steering. I may do on my 2017 indian springfield Brian. Thanks for sharing. How much improved steering can-you attest to Brian?
thanks
I'll put it this way, I will never own another bike without raised handlebars, its that mnuch of a game changer. The cornering is so much more comfortable and you have a greater feeling of more control, at least I do. The MotoGP guys may argue that... but OK. The only downside is in parking lots where you really have to crank the bars out one way or the other but you get used to it. Enjoy!
I would wear protective clothing mate. ATGATT. As we get older it takes longer to heal and we can't plan accidents. Love your bike.
Just bought a 16 w low, low mileage.
Most comfy bike ive ever sat on and ridden. Power up yazoo...yeah, deeply loving the new ride.
Awesome! Enjoy Emil!
I'll vouch for the Scout put 18k on her in the first year, amazing bike won't buy another new bike unless it's an Indian. My Springfield dark horse will be here end of May. Driving me crazy waiting for it as all I have to ride until then is 650 vstar. Already sold ISB. The Springfield 116 should take care of me for a while. Gonna try rolling her over 100k before moving on to next bike.
I have a 21 sp dh that 116 will put smiles on you’re face for days😎amazing motor they designed
@@Jesus-uo4it got mine at beginning of May just rolled over 6k miles yesterday. Beast!
You mention how much you love to ride that road. Would you please tell us where it is? I am new to central Florida and am very interested in "good rides". Thanks for your content. If you ever come to Daytona, I would enjoy going for a ride with you.
Hey Mike, thanks for watching. Yeah not many good roads in Daytona area. that one road is called Haas Road in the Sorrento area. I get to it from SR 46 turning left on 435, where the video started, then take that to Haas. When Haas dead ended I turned left on Round lake Rd and then right on Sadler and that's JUST the beginning of what we have available to us. We really have a bunch of killer roads out here. Look for a video i did almost two years ago called New Years day ride. that shows a great ride. Join the Cruiser Riders of Central Florida group, they do a lot of great rides and I'm fairly active with them.
I had a problem with my gear position sensor stopped working all together, I haven't had a problem since they replaced it. Only problem I've had. I Love my Chieftain Limited!
Great video.
I have the 2018 springfeild as well the red is hard for me to see as well only have sight in my right eye other then that love how she rides
Just bought a brand new 23 Springfield sitting out in the garage now it’s got 4 miles on it. Taking it out tomorrow morning and have some fun.
You’re gonna love it!
Great bike, congrats on 30K.. now lets talk about the other adult videos...
Would you consider going to the liquid cool Challenger? With more things that could go wrong vs the air cool motor? Love what you have done to your Springfield.
I would absolutely consider the Challenger, I love the whole platform.
I had 4 Victorys, 2 Indians, and now on my 3rd Harley, a 2023 Street Glide. I purfer Harleys.
What do you like most about the Harley?
Aqui do Brasil. Tive 4 Harley Davidson. Todas 0 km. Uma Xl 1200, uma Deluxe modelo 2014, uma Road King 2015, e outra Deluxe modelo 2016 motor 103. Essa última com vazamento de óleo do motor na parte inferior. Estava preparando para adquirir a Indian Springfield quando surgiram rumores da saída da Empresa do país, e com tristeza acabei desistindo da compra. Moro em uma cidade do interior do Estado de Goiás 🇧🇷, e ficaria muito difícil as revisões. Mototos Indians, um sonho não realizado.
Sinto muito por ouvir isso. Deve ter sido decepcionante, mas acho que você tomou a decisão certa. Obrigado por assistir!
Lived in Florida for 18 years, sometimes I forget how flat it is and a “twisty” - ha.
I ride mostly in much cooler weather than you. Seattle is in the 40-50s most of the year. I think hangars like that would send air right up my sleeves, brrrr.
Right on. Go Springfield!

Hey Brother, here's a great video idea for you..
Please jump on your gorgeous Springfield, and go for a pre twilight ride that ends in low light with Street lights on.. with no talking.. just a nice POV 60 minute Twilight cruise listening to that sweet 116🙏
I love it! I’ve been wanting to run that with a quality mic set up. Gonna do this just for you!
Awesome brother, can't wait to see it. Thanks so much☺️
Glad hd has some real competition
I don’t do much on Instagram buddy but I do see most of your Facebook post
AT 58 y.o., you are Not an 'oldefart'. MANY of your viewers have 5 0r 10 years on you. You can call us oldefarts if you want2. But we enjoy your vids, sooo keepitup. thanx. My used 2014 Vintage with a 2stage pleases me immensely, so I'm a fan of Indian too. MusHrO0m farm? I saw an article years ago that showed them growing in an olde mine. I reckon it's because those damp conditions are conducive to a good crop. OH, and they used cow manure, so poop has its place. 😀.
I had been waiting to watch this video with Trina, but I can't stand it any longer,.. gotta watch it!!!! :)
If that was my instrument panel, I'd pull it out and see what kind light or LEDs are in use, and order and replace them and or modify it for better/more preferred lighting.
Yep, already did that. It’s a sealed unit, can’t get into really and it stores the mileage data so didn’t wanna start monkeying with it in case it got all jacked up. It’s still red. Haha
@@TwoIndians I'm wondering if the 2021 and 2022 models have the same panel (red) lighting
Thx
Very informative video. I would like to get the Buffalo horn you have installed. Can you tell me where you purchased it? Thanks and ride safe.
Get them at www.BuffaloBrand.co. Tell Randy I sent ya! 😉
Love and respect from Egypt
Thanks Mo! Appreciate it!
I own a 2019 Springfield that has the 111 with the Lloydz engine updates/tune and I love my bike as well. I couldn't AGREE more with you on the instrument lighting. It is very tough to see and that white background would be SO MUCH BETTER.
Only critical point I have about your video is with you talking about routinely driving 85-90+mph. Come on dude, if you want to drive like you are on a race track then let that be your business. No need to market that. Yes, I understand you only said that to demonstrate the durability of the air cooled Thunderstroke engine...I get it, but still....
I like the guys the guy that has his Indian MC deep into 6 figures on his odometer. That is really cool to see and shows just how durable these Thunderstroke engines are.
Have fun, but man, ride safe. Don't want you to become pot hole filler sooner than what you need to be.... Would miss seeing your future videos, then who would I watch?? Take care.
Thanks for your comments. Understood but with multiple iron butt rides and lots of highway miles it’s just a fact of life that I will cruise at a higher speeds and of course there’s always that ONE moment when you say to yourself, “let’s see what this baby will do”. But I’m always cautious and careful.
On the highways, especially around central Florida, I feel like 85/90 is the only way to go. It honestly feels safer, that I’m seen more and helps me more get a feel of the traffic going on around me.
Who owns a big cruiser and hasn’t hit 85-90 mph?
You are so blessed my friend. To have a lovely wife who gives you a gorgeous motorcycle for your birthday would feel like Heaven. Bikes or no bikes - you are a very lucky man. Have you installed oil coolers on your bikes? I put them on my Harleys. Not sure if I felt less heat after, but having them installed gave me confidence I was doing something good for the bikes. My next bike will most likely be a Springfield.
when i bought the bike I put an oil cooler on it before I even picked it up. Figured it was good insurance. I doubt it made any difference on heat output but I'm sure it contributes to the longevity of the oil and thus, the motor.
I wanted a road king but the Indian cheiftan seems more refined and luxurious not a fan of the vibrations from the Harley, good power more than Indian but the 116 motor has enough power to get you in trouble and then some.
2:15 is that me in that truck/trailer?
its a shame that the victory motorcycles weren't marketed correctly. that was a well engineered bike
I recently posted my 3 year owner review on my Indian Roadmaster on UA-cam. I have 48,000 mile on my bike. My Roadmaster is the best bike I have ever owned.
That bike looks great, one of my bikes is a 2013 Victory and I won't part with it. The Vics hold 5 quarts of 20-40 oil. I believe the Indians are the same, that may have something to do with them running so good for extended higher rpm rides.
Yeah I don’t know what it is but I can run that thing hard for 24 hours non stop and she don’t skip a beat.
Lmao I swear to God that's me in front of you lol I was hauling mill work from Paris Texas. There was a cat stuck in my dash. I
Noooooo way.
No problem with the on-off button, 19k miles in 12 months. It might be your gloves :) cheers, from Heathrow-Lake Mary.
what's up Local! yeah I swapped that button, havent made a video on that yet. Seems a bit too easy.
@@TwoIndians
> what's up Local!
All fine and dandy. Funny, I kept recognizing few of the streets from your videos.
> Seems a bit too easy.
I believe you!, just wanted to point out that on mine (Chief Vintage) no trace whatsoever. I ride often bare handed or with a thin mountainbiker glove :)
oh yeah I'm barehanded 80% of the time too
I like the wheels. They are from the Elite trim Roadmaster right ?
They’ve been on several factory Indians, I love them.
My 2019 has never let me down, even though Im only at about 2500 miles 😆
Gotta Victory XCT , ride it out long as I can.... maybe an injun after.
1000 a year is riding a fair amount enjoy your videos
Question on your red dash lights. Would you just be able to switch out the bulbs from red to white? Or LEDs? Or is it a more complicated issue?
you cannot swap the LED illuminators unless you want to risk board-level soldering. my dealer tells me I would need to swap the two instrument panels. The new ODO does not pick up where the old one left off so we'd have to file a document with the state declaring the mileage at the time of the swap and according to my dealer that MUST be done by the dealer so as to not violate any state laws on vehicle documentation. All-in its about $800 to swap it out. simple job though.
Never mind the bike, where did you find the lady!? Treasure.
LOL, she found me at the bargain bin and felt sorry for me
Personally I would have used some vinyl wrap on the button.🤔
I wouldn't even worry about washing those mirrors. ..
My gear position swensor hasn't went out yet but now I'm worried..
Becky says she can't take it anymore please do a bike wash video.
Three years, 30,000 miles, maybe it’s time to upgrade to the Jack Daniels model. Also, we are missing the squaw of this 2 Indian tribe. Where is the lovely ms. Barbara?
I'd love to get the big bore but that price tag is chocking me to death. ;-)
It’s worth every penny!
How did the Springfield handle in slow traffic and parking lots? Any stability issues going slow? I live in South Florida where there's stop and go traffic most of the time.
Same here buddy. I live in Orlando. Awful traffic. We just have these nice roads west of town. To answer your question it handles like a dream. Way better than the Road King
@@TwoIndians Wow! That's good to know. Now the Springfield is my first choice to handle this traffic in total comfort!
Big wheel Envy: ME!!
serious question.. where did you get your apes?
Those are from Indian. TBH the quality is not what I expected, wanted chrome bars but they are “polished steel”. I mean they aren’t all that expensive but everything else is chrome and then you put these on and they’re pretty much a mediocre satin finish. Had to polish them for an hour to clean them up.
Can you share links to your Mount and GPS unit?
