I am on a trip with my 22, and should hit 4,000 miles tomorrow. Loving this bike. I've posted a bit in the fb group for this route 66 trip. Bike handles like a dream and all the power I need
Enjoy your trip!! It's a wonderful motorcycle.. best bagger being made!!! No doubt!! 💪 💪 💪 Keep Killin those miles!!
Enjoyed this video.
Cheers from Sweden
@magnusb6311 thank you for watching!! I appreciate you and from Sweden!!! Someday I'll ride there!! 🙏
@@Ridingfish You should, if you want to go, try May or September or October if you want fairly good price. Usually one can buy round trips from eastern US to Gothenburg for US$400-600 during that time.
Sweden is clean and beautiful, has lots of roads but I think it is probably best for someone into ADV-biking as we got 300,000Km or 186K Miles of gravel roads, plus a lot of trails like the TET Sweden
@@Ridingfish Norway has a lot of nice twisties with spectacular scenary over mountains and fjords.
Sweden is much more affordable when it comes to staying and eating, Sweden also have a better and higher quality road system. I would say Norway is prettier though.
I'm glad it's not just me that can not stand the sound it makes when starting!
The sound is hideous and weak sounding. Indian should change especially since it’s a “performance” bagger and competing with Harley. I don’t know if you can change the sound but if I bought a Challenger/Pursuit I’d change the starter before I change the exhaust. It’s the worst.
hahahh.. its like a sleeper.. Is not scary to the HDs!! ahhaahah
Great channel. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!!
I'm married to the Victory for a few more years... But damn, I like these Pursuits and I'm very happy there are real performance upgrades for them.
Can't go wrong with Victory!! Love those!! 💪 💪 keep on ripping!!
112 🔥🔥🔥
I know I'm late, but about slotted brake rotors, the slots are to dissipate heat. Downside is they shorten pad life.
Im very keen to do the 112" bore upgrade also.. i be watching your responses to the whole process ect 👊💯
I didn't know that existed!
I'll be showing the world!! 💪
Thanks for the vid.... I'm guessing a motor build ..... pistons/Cams/intake/tune ???? Look forward to seeing it on the dyno. New scoot on my horizon, not too happy with HDMC now a days. Indian looking better and better....
I'm the same.. HDMC has always been my choice.. Had 13 HDs and now switching to IMC..
Much better build, performance and handling..
good guess.. no intake .. and bigger pistons with cylinders!
Thanks for the Wind description. My Chieftain cut the wind Much better with no hard lowers. I just thought it was the bike itself. It is a Pretty big difference. Im just over 10,000 myself. Thanks for the video 😎🇺🇸🤘😊
Nice overall review. I have the 2023 pursuit limited premium. I also like the look without the trunk. What looks different in the back than the challenger that you mentioned. Also didn’t you at once have tab exhaust. Did you like the tab slip ons. Your exhaust sounds sweet.
My freedom shield came in, and I love it! Its soooo mich better than that tall stock one. No more craning my neck to look over it to scan traffic/road patterns. The 7" shortie is perfect for me. I also changed out the silver stock levers for adjustable black ones! That icon color is really the best IMHO. 😂😏😉🤍🖤❤️ I'm loving mine!!!
congrates on the new shield.. for my knowledge how tall are you and what is your inseam? i have a 9 and i often think maybe i could of did the 7.. idk
@@Ridingfish I'm a whopping 5 foot 4.5 inches tall. 😆 Watching your video really helped me decide which one to get. I knew the stock one wasn't for me on the ride home from the dealership. With the 7; I can keep in lowered on the back roads and feel the breeze. On the interstate; I raise it 2-3 bumps to lessen wind noise and better hear my tunes...while still not having the edge right in my line of sight.
Well Im Happy that it worked out and you're happy with it!!
Great job on this one! Do you wear a helmet on the highway? I'm guessing that tiny windshield would cause a lot of wind turbulence wearing a helmet at 75MPH. And no way I'm riding the interstate without a helmet given how bad some 4-wheelers drive.
I wear a helmet about 99% of the time.. no matter where I'm at.. Honestly I love no helmet... but I try and be a good influence on the daughter and also I vlog too much for no helmet hahah
Little tip if you still have the stock mirrors the black nut will work the the Arlen ness and also cover up the adapter bolt keeping it hidden. If I make it out Sunday I can show you what I mean.
Ok!! Yes please do show me!! Because that's one reason I'm ready to move on!! Lol the dang adapter..
Your challenger is fantastic, it's my favorite. I would like to try one but here in Italy it seems impossible. I'm tempted to buy it even without trying it.
Man, I would absolutely love a challenger in your country and to get to the Switzerland!!! 😲 😱 Roma might not be as fun tho!!!
@@Ridingfish YOU WOULD GO THROUGH A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL PLACES. AND YOU WOULD BE FORCED TO EAT DIVINELY. I WERE YOU I WOULD PUT IT ON THE AGENDA.
I was in Italy last summer!!! I loved it. I just was not on a motorcycle!!! So now I have to do it all again, on two wheels
i ordered Lloyds sawicki 2 into 1 full black exhaust back in Nov, I switched to their mid pipe since they got that one in , but it doesn't have heat shields like TOCE and Sawicki said they do not make heatshields for that exhaust. I will probly be switching to TOCE. I have the M3 tune. The best! tune ever.
Which tune is that ?
M3 is HooniesGarage.com or MadMonkeyMotorsports.com
I will be there next week. It kooks like a fun place to ride.
how has your trip been?
Hey. I enjoy your work. I was thinking of buying the same bars and was a little worried about losing the nimbleness of the ride exactly like you said. So which bars do you prefer? Stock or Mitre mid rise.
I like the Mitered bars.. I would say that maybe look at the klockwerks Kliphangers they are very adjustable...
@@Ridingfish Thanks. I'll check them out. I've got 42,000 km on my 2021 Challenger dark horse and starting to feel the need to change it up a bit. I don't want to mess with the handling in the twisties either.
On sound systems.... JL and Sinister sound good to me.... I'm always looking for upgrades, that stock irritates me. I'll keep stock still my speakers fail then upgrade. I like what ya do keep us posted!!
Yea, l had Indians Powerband on my Challenger and that's an option but I'm taking baby step on it for now.. not super high on my list.. I have lots of work to be done lol
Davidson Audio setup for the win...
Regarding audio, I've been using the Motikom ear bud collar arrangement. It gives you noise suppression (adjustable) from road noise while also listening to music, phone calls, GPS. I also use them chainsaw work, mowing, anything noisy 👍🇦🇺
Ok, thank you for the advice!!! I really should start using ear buds or ear plugs or something!! Haha
That toce do sound awesome. Even on my phone. Good review bro. 35k on my 21 challenger. About to put bars and grips on it ince i dec which ones. May go black bars and keep the chrime covers
congrats on the 35k!! Thats some good miles!
Glad to hear that about the cold starts. I've run across that issue, but that all goes away after I do some riding.
yes, its real!
When you swap, you just need to get the brake arm which is $119 and the bearing which is like $8.99. And I’m quite sure you have a peg laying around that you had in the Vic or the Challenger.
Thank you!
Impressive mileage for living in Minnesota considering you bought it in September and November till May was not riding weather, I will say a 35k bike should start and run in cooler temps without throwing a misfire/ check engine light, my 22 Challenger does it all the time if under 50 degrees, no excuse for that Indian.
i hear you!! i agree about the low temps.. i just ignore it now and just mark it up to cant be perfect!
It throws codes I just turn it off and on.😮 Sounds like a Harley guy😮 the heat off that bad boy is real. Test rode one at thunder beach
Haha I just don't stress much.. and for sure not a cold start code.. I hope you had thr lowers open because if not you might of been VERY WARM!
@@Ridingfish hey my Harley did it. Cleared the codes, no problem. The lowers were open. But if it had highway pegs, would have helped
gold wing is better machine but this one is more fun and looks
Much better feels like a strong word.. but both GREAT Motorcycles!
Hey, probably already talked about it in another video, but I'm real curious to know if there was any issues you had with the Challenger at 30000 plus miles.
Do you feel a guy has to be at all worried about longevity and reliability? I know Indian is bought and owned by Polaris and to me that's very concerning. I've had multiple Polaris has been around polaris's and I think their junk. They're a great machine when they're working, but when they start having problems it just continues and it don't take very long before they start having problems and falling apart. I have zero trust in Polaris, therefore I question the same for these Indians.
I believe if you had bad experiences with Polaris, I could 100% understand how you would be nervous about Indian Motorcycle.. That being said, Polaris made Victorys and learned a ton from them. They have a different team working on the "On Road" part of the company.. but Victory was known for being amazing!! Now I have had 4 Indian Motorcycles Challenger, Pursuit, FTR, Scout.. I have 60,000 plus miles on the powerplus motor, and I have had like 2 issues that were not a humans fault.. one was an odd code that threw on my first bike that they fixed in 10 mins, and then I just had a fuel pump on my newest bike, but it had 21,000 miles on it.. I trust my bikes and these Indians
Also, this comment got lost for a year.. just popped up today for me.. sorry about that late response 😢 I failed you 😔
@Ridingfish lol, yes you did. I forgive you. I bought a new Goldwing instead, and just traded it in on a new 2024 Road Glide. I'm a big time motorsports guy, wouldn't surprise me if before I die, hopefully that will be a long time still, I'll own a Indian challenger and possibly a BMW. Wish I could have them all. Unfortunately I can only afford 1 at a time. So one has go in order to buy the other. I'm having fun with this new Harley, but I do miss a lot of things about the Gold Wing really wish I could have kept it while also buying this new Harley.
If I wasn't so concerned about reliability and durability, the Indian Challenger would probably be a good Inbetweener of the Honda Goldwing and Harley Davidson Road Glide.
Thanks for the reply.
@@curtisbull1583, Did you ride the Challenger!??! Are you saying the main reason for not buying the Challenger is reliability?? Or what was it that made you go to the new RG over Challenger?!?!
Ps congratulations on your new RG.. buying new stuff is always fun!!
@Ridingfish yes, I've rode a couple challengers. But that was before I bought the Goldwing. Swapped to the Harley about 5 weeks ago. Didn't go back to look at the Indians. Again Polaris has screwed me over the years along with others I ride with, as far as sxs's and snowmobiles. Friends of mine that own the challengers, have and some minor issues, like the plastic gear for the windshield breaking and the latches for the front storage lids breaking.
So again, I feel like Polaris's quality control is rubbing off onto the Indian brand.
I differ from you in that I like the heal shifter, and the rear brake pad vs. peg. It's what you get used to. By the way, it sounds to me that you should have kept the Challenger..
🤷♂️ I love this bike!! I think that having the trunk is awesome but I don't always need it and for the lowers I really do love them but want to be clear about how they act a little differently then one might think.. I don't regret the buy!! 11400 happy miles.. ps I would of been happy with my Challenger also!! Haha
Really dig that colour scheme..
Do y0u have part number for the mirrors ?
Also what height screen did you go with.. I too don't like the look of the standard clear screen/height lol
im 6 foot with 33 inch inseem i got the 9 inch .. if you are shorter than that you can go with the 7 inch .. depending how much taller 9 should be good. let me know your height.. alren ness mirrors
@Ridingfish yer I'm 6'2... ok so ill work on 9" screen... cheers Mate.. I should have my bike ready by end of July 😏🤘💨💨
Good assessment of your 10,000 miles. Looking forward to what's coming ? Revolution pistons, thought they only made for H-D's. Displacement up to 112 ? Let's see what the gains are in torque & HP ? If they are significant, why aren't the King of Baggers team(s) running them ? I'll keep watching.....
23:37 23:37 them
spoiler but I did the whole 112.. BIG THINGS!!! Thank you for watching
I know you are traveling & all, but did you ever get the IM I sent you
@@MaxJW-ln4xm what platform?
Messenger
Same one we communicated on before
Man, sorry send me something again!! 😔 not sure how I dropped the ball!!
Question about your toce pipe. Did the rear pipe get heat colored before the front? Thanks! Great video!
No the rear doesn't get enough heat to change the color
@@Ridingfish interesting. My rear pipe has gotten much darker than the front. Only a couple hundred miles on them tho. Great exhaust system!
@@red88gt1 what tune do you have?
Does your high beam work on your light? I have the same kit but whenever I use the high beam, the light symbol will flash and my headlight won’t work. The first one I had ended up frying my light. Baja design had to repair it and send it back to me. I haven’t put it back on since then. Prior performance sent me a new harness but I haven’t installed it. I’m skeptical to re install it after what happened
Gonna be way different guaranteed.
Hahahhaa. VERY DIFFERENT
Ridingfish you ready to race Tall with that new engine you have now
Oh brother, Tall and his Zippers bike!!! Im looking for him!! Haha 💪 😄
I am confused between Challenger and Pursuit. Are they really different? Is pursuit worth the extra $$?
Challenger is stripped down, the Pursuit comes for long tour riding.. "trunk, hard lowers" heated sear ext.. it is different and if you plan on long rides it is worth it..
It was Victory! Before it became Indian... 😏
👍 100% 💪 💪 💪
@Ridingfish 2013 XCT! I adore my "Vic"! If I were to win the lottery though... 😉
@@amjrpain919 I 100% understand!! 💪 💪
I’m in Winston Salem, hit me up if in the area. About to install fat tire in the front.
My man!! This was first week of May.. im home now!! In pure edit mode!! Sorry!!
Is anytime making a tail tidy? Feel like the rear lights were an afterthought compared to the fairing
I believe "blacked out industry" and another couple... I know ForeverRad does stuff with his.. not sure if he is selling them tho
@Ridingfish those look badass. I gotta get a side hustle though if I'm gonna keep buying stuff for this bike
Brother, I feel you!!
i have NEVER liked the single exhaust look.... i would gut my stock mufflers and have a crossover made to toss the catylitic converter.
Awww Tab performance makes a cat delete.. easy!!
Im pretty sure u can go do down at least one shirt size. Its just not tight enough. Cant see the hair bumps on your nipples.
Haha dude 🤣 you're not wrong 2 weeks on the road my shirts shrunk!! 🤣 🤷♂️
Patiently waiting for the big bore video👀
Indian rider to Indian rider your bike is too sleek looking for those burnt pipes.
Thank-you!!! 💪 💪 I enjoy being sneaky! 😉

Bro don't if anyone pointed out your rear tire, is warping
