Wild custom Indian bagger based on 1953 Chief. So what do you think of this one?

Very cool in an old kind of way. Definitely would draw attention. I like the old bike behind it with the leather bags just as much.

As a fan of the brand I like the traditional look. I'd take the one in the background first but to each his own.

My sentiments exactly, it's pretty but the fairing and bags look too modern in comparison to the rest of the bike.

Agreed.

I like the idea, and even the paint... but there's something about the execution that's, I dunno... off.

Maybe if the bags were a little more retro looking, like some of the really old Harley hardbags.

The bags are modern, but they look pretty cool on the bike. It would look better without the fairing, and I'm not crazy about the red fringe on the seat. The seat looks like two different pieces stuck together. Maybe if the leather and fringe were black, it would look like all one piece, which I think would look better.

Restoring to original would have been better.
