Picked up a 26 Chieftain Darkhorse this week, last bagger was a '12 CVO. Love the blue but feel like it needs some sort of decal or striping on both the bags and fairing. Not seeing much out there via Google etc. Any ideas? Have some Rinehart pipes and KST bars on order already, beyond that don't plan to do a whole lot - but we all know how that goes....
Considering pulling trigger on a 25 model Chieftain by EOB today but something just occurred to me - is there a workaround or what do you do if you put higher bars and would be changing mirrors out - are you locked in to using the stock ones due to the blind spot warning? That's a bit of a bummer right there... Hmm
Hi all. Former Street Glide owner here, had a stage 4 117>121 CVO and loved it, pic attached for giggles / attention. Currently ride a more crotch rocket type Triumph Speed Triple 1200 and love it as well, won't be getting rid of it, but kicking tires on adding a cruiser to the garage and looking at a new 25 Chieftain Darkhorse 112 w Powerband - Ghost White w metallic smoke. For anyone bored who wants to give me any thoughts - would sure appreciate them! I'm early on, haven't even ridden one yet. Friend has a 22-ish Challenger that I've rode and enjoyed. Sure this one will be better in every way. Main questions are: 1) anything out there I should know negative side? 2) any factory mods / accessories to definitely get / stay away from or strong aftermarket ones to look at? 3) Related, I had 10" bars on SG and liked that height, bar mfgr recommendations? Lasly and I'm sure this is out there but just getting in, are Indian owners pessimistic or optimistic or both / varied re ownership change and all and what are resale prices on bikes like this - going to crap? Appreciate any intel!
