Seen in NYC

This is a 2000 Indian Chief. It's not a custom bike. I see a customized one every couple of weeks or so parked across the street from my office building.

The customized one is silver and white, with wide-stripe whitewalls, no saddle bags, no windshield, and the handle bars that you see onthe stock model have been replaced with "monkey bar" style ones that go up almost vertically, but actually point slightly away from the rider. The handles have black fringe to match that of the saddle, and black fringe is also underneath both footrests.

I never think to bring my cell phone outside with me when I take a butt break, so I never have managed to get a picture of it.

This picture of a customized one shows the monkey bars, but it's really hard to see because the dude who owns the bike and is looking to sell it uploaded such a tiny picture of it.

I don't own a motorcycle. I could count on one hand the number of times I've ridden one (slightly afraid of them). But oh my! That red one at the top of your post! Beautiful machine!!!!

Yeah, I agree. I've ridden on the back of a small Honda and on the back of a 700 lb. BMW, but I don't know how to drive one, am not licensed to do so, and am not keen on the idea of becoming licensed, but if I ever wanted one, yes, the Indian Chief would be my bike of choice. No Harleys here, thank you very much.
