- The hunt for the perfect motorcycle continues. I have reviewed the Roadmaster more than once but this one really was ... MEH.
The rattle, the ticking, the weak radio - I expected better.

I own a 2016 Indian Roadmaster and love it. I have definitely made this 'my own'. The bike only had 7,640 miles on it when I purchased it 4 months ago. I immediately removed the large luggage rack off the back and replaced the original seat with Ultimate Seats Solo and Passenger seats that they design for the Indian Roadmaster. I also installed the Ultimate Seats back rests for both seats and installed a 12" sissy bar that Indian makes for the Roadmaster. I purchase the heated option for the seats and that works very well. Next, I removed the front lower fairings from the bike as I wanted more air on the engine. I rode many bikes for 30+ years prior to this bike and never even had a windshield on any of them, so the wind on my legs is no problem for me. Actually, on hot days it is more than welcome, and the engine definitely runs cooler without those fairings. Next, I replaced the stock exhaust and air cleaner by adding the 4" Rinehart slip-ons and a high-flow air cleaner (I had the dealer do the work, as the engine needs to be adjusted when making a change from the stock air cleaner to a high-flow). Not only does the bike have a bit more noticeable power, but I realized an immediately increase of 8mpg performance. I had the dealer install blinking LED brake lights so that any time I use either the hand brake or the rear brake it grabs the attention of motorists behind me. Then, I had Clearwater Lights install their 'Darla' yellow running lights to the lower front forks. These lights are fantastic and when people look in their rear-view mirrors, these yellow running lights stand out from the myriad head lights of vehicles behind them. One last note: I have viewed a large number of safety riding posts by expert trainers on CZcams. I am forever learning how to safely ride and manage a BIG bike. My Roadmaster, which is now what I refer to as a 'high-tech Bagger', weighs about 900 lbs. Every time I get on my bike, I go to a nearby parking lot and practice turning, figure 8s, emergency stops, right and left turns from a dead stop, swerving, U-Turns and more. The first thing I did was focus on safe and elegant starts and stops using the friction zone of the clutch, the throttle and the rear brake. Lots to love about owning and riding a bike. I notice that people need some kind of activity that turns them on... skiing, snowboarding, water skiing, boating, flying their aircraft and on and on. For me, it just happens to be riding my bike! Be safe, be well. PS - Please use positive titles when you write about Indian bikes. If your front windshield rattles, fix it. My front windshield is dead quiet... but if it rattled, I would not broadcast it to the world as if there is something wrong with Indian bikes. I'd just look into it and fix it. As for the speakers, I never listen to music when riding my bike. I love the way it sounds and feels and there is something rewarding and pleasurable to just get out and ride and cut off the outside world, music included. One last note: EVERYTHING works on my Indian. If something doesn't work on your bike, just fix it; get on it and ride it. Enjoy and ride safe.
Thanks for the detailed input and insight into your bike. Sounds like you have it made as near perfect as possible.
The clocks look nice. That little bit yellowish background, for vintage effect. I wonder if the map in the navigation is old enough to match...
Haha! If it was really 30-50s style navigation then when you press the button this pair of arms inflates. In their hands would be a paper map unfolded block part your field of vision. The hands then turn the map three times. Finally a voice prompt tells you that you should have turned three roads back behind you.😄
@@RRatedCustoms 🤣 This sounds like experience talking
The infomaus windshield rattle! Did the motor work on this windshield?
It went up and down fine. Which was nice.😎
