Ironworks Motorcycle Co reviews

I bought my Indian new in 2003. I have ridden it for over 10,000 miles in all weather conditions, no problems whatsoever. I get lots of compliments on it, lots of polished aluminum on it, things you pay extra for on other bikes came standard on this bike. She's black with gold Indian script & pinstripes. I always wanted an Indian. It's not the same as everyone else rides, it's better. Show less

I have had numerous bikes my whole life (all v-twins since 1973). By far my '00 Chief is the most fun to ride on pavement. I have had some issues (starter, stress cracks) but nothing major. The 88ci SS hangs with or out runs any other v-twin. I have a Geezerglide HD screamin' eagle ultra classic hot head 110ci for the long hauls but absolutely love riding my chief. Love the beach bars and overall look is traditional Indian and perfect! Show less

The old indian never dies! It has done its share of suffering and will soon gain the popularity it is due. The new Chiefs are great! I have been riding a 2003 Indian Spirit and thinks it rocks. I jumped on a newer ultra classic and felt like I was riding a limosine. My indian isn't as comfortable but keeps up well and has lots of power. Show less

I bought my Vintage black on black in 2003, 6 months before Indian went under the last time. While I don't put a lot of miles on the bike, this machine has been very reliable and I always get the most attention from enthusiasts at rallys and bike nights. The 2-up seat is not really that comfortable for long rides but great for local cruising. When the time is right I plan to get a new one and would highly recommend the Indian to all other contrarians. This is pure American. Show less

I bought my 99 Chief in 2001 with 26 miles on it. It belonged to a Nascar owner who displayed it in his shop but never rode it. It has the California smog kit on it and is S/N 0041. The reason I bought it was the way it felt when I mounted it. I wanted a Road King my whole life, but being a big man, they just didn't feel comfortable to me. When I mounted my Chief, I felt, for the first time, here is a bike made for big guys. I was informed the 99's were 6 inches longer and 2 in. lower than the Road Kings. Every year after 99 they got shorter and higher...I will never sell my 99. Show less

I bought my Chief in August of 2003 (luckily, with a 5-year aftermarket warranty, as I needed the drive belt and seals replaced in 2006!) and have been pretty happy with the bike ever since. As others have stated, it always elicits the question - is it a REAL Indian? - from someone whenever I'm out for a ride, and I've gotten pretty good at telling the story of the rise and fall and rise and fall and rise of the Indian brand. I've done a lot of mods/upgrades to the bike, and so I'm at the point that I'm happy with how it fits me (although fuel injection might smooth things out a bit). My only concern is what I should do if/when I want to try something new - I honestly don't think I can afford a new one. Anyway, I'll cross that road when I come to it. Safe riding, all.

I purchased this bike from Corona Indian in Ca. I love this bike and would like to purchase a 09'. This 99' chief is just that. I can pull up into a Harley dealer and the sales guys come out to see it. You should pick one up for your self. I know I'll wind up getting a 09' but they are a little high priced right now, I hope they come down some soon. God Bless to ya'll Mike G. Show less

BOUGHT THE 2001 CENTENNIAL SCOUT OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR AND WITH A FEW MODS IT BY FAR IS THE BEST BIG TWIN I've EVER RIDDEN. SEAT HEIGHT IS NOW 22 INCHES OFF THE GROUND AND IT FLAT OUT WILL CHEW ASPHALT. THE S & S MOTOR IS A BEAST THAT TAKES ALL AND GIVES MORE !!! Show less

I adore this steed. She cranks into turns, growls like a lion, stops on a dime and gets looks from everyone. Show less

I purchased my blue/white Deluxe new in 2003 (accessorized so that it has the appearance of a Vintage). I have 3 other bikes and the Indian remains my favorite. It's impossible to ride without generating positive comments from other bikers, etc. The bike has been reliable, comfortable, and has a great sound. I am happy to see the Indian name return. Show less
