Ridingfish
Headed that way. Thanks brother.
I have a 2014 CVO Road King. I’m seriously considering trading it in for a Indian Challenger.
Man, test ride one and you will be sold!!
Same....I have 2019 SG Special.....Its BMW Grand America vs Indian Challenger vs Gold wing at this point. HD Can suck it.
Sweet. I feel you brother. It's like a high when you first hear them. Outstanding sound.
But the mechanic wiping down your bike. It's the little things that make a shop into a great shop.
I remember watching the video where you ride an Indian Challenger for the first time. Really enjoyed it.
Ride Safe.
Man, Riding is a high!! The baby was born!! Hahahah the guys at Bison are amazing.. Thank you for watching! You as well ride safe
Indian is taking over man! This is coming from a Harley guy! My heart has always been with HD but lately ive been getting cheating vibes!
Same here
Aloha Fish! I truly appreciate your videos, just subscribed! I actually met the new owners of the Bison Dealership where you shot this video yesterday after watching your video. They were just getting off their Challengers as we walked out of the our Cracker Barrel down here in Camden County, Georgia. Their two Challengers were what drew my attention at first, but as I walked over they shook hands and we chatted and learned who they really were. Again your local dealership is in good hands and will be growing. They are truly authentic and very much Indian Motorcycle Ambassadors.
Thank you for the kind words and as well as subing!! you rock Aloha!
Tim and Lloyd are great dudes! Yes huge Indian motorcycle lovers and im sure happy to have them as my new home dealership owners!!
I love your bike. What is the backrest setup you have on your challenger? Thanks for sharing.
I just got the base Challenger from Bison and I've fallen in love with it. Great video!
You getting to put lots of miles on it?? congrats!!
@@Ridingfish Already needs the 500 mile servicing
There you have it, future Harley killer!
Just bought a 2023 Challenger. I love the deep sound it has, just needs to be a little louder. Going to look into these pipes for sure. Thanks for the video. Your bike is badass dude.
Wow! Sounds amazing! I can see how happy you are bro. Enjoy the baddest bagger on the road!
Really overjoyed!! Nothing like a grown man doing a happy dance and not even editing it out!! Lol thank you for watching!
You got to love the performance of the Challenger. It's much more worth the money it cost to me than a Harley. It has awesome technology as well. However I got to say the Magnum is still the best looking bagger to me. They also offer great performance at a great value. I wish the Challenger had been released as the next Magnum and had more aggressive styling like the Magnum.
yes, I agree with everything you are saying! but look at it like this.. it is more like the vision! I love the magnum look!! thank you for watching!!
Hey Fred it was a pleasure running into you at Bison Thunder-Saint Paul on Saturday. Just wanted to let you know I’ve subscribed and also thank you for all the great content! I was able to get almost all the break in mileage out of the way on my “just the base” Chally last weekend. I can’t even put into words how truly amazing of a ride it is. I’m sure I’ll be seeing ya around.... -TC
HELL YEA! thank you very much! it was fun talking at Bison.. yea almost break in on Just a BASE is pretty good! haha spring cant come fast enough!!
That bad boy sounds good.
love the zombie sound!! thank you for watching!
You could have done that video in one minute, and saved me seven minutes of life.
Well, sorry??... Thank you for spending your life with me!..
@@Ridingfish Hey I didn't give you a thumbs down, just saying you drug it out. Chill.
I understand your point.. I meant thank you really... but if I dropped a one min video on CZcams it brings analytics down alot.. and this way ppl get to know my personality!! 🤣🤣😉
Damn that sounds awesome and will have to remember them when I get my Challenger next year
Yes, the sound is amazing!!
I left a comment yesterday, but it is not here? Anyway love that color combination, it just pops. Also some great upgrades. This you may like. I just read a comment on the VOG ( victory owners group forum ) which has followed the Challenger closely. A member just posted that TAB has worked with Gregory Polaris in Little Rock, AR. They now have a cat bypass that is exclusive to Gregory Polaris for 8 weeks at a price of $ 400.00. After that it will be open to all dealers at maybe $ 475. They state it adds 6 to 7 hp and 3 to 4 torque. If interested I would contact Gregory Polaris for additional info. Do enjoy that beautiful Challenger, I am envious. Maybe next year for me. I want to make sure that throttle body gremlin is sorted out.
So I saw that they have the bypass! I'm going to keep an eye out on price for sure thank you for the heads up.. yes this gremlin needs to go away.. its fairly early so I have faith it will be fixed sooner than later..
That black on white is looking sharp!
thank you!!
Love the TAB sound man! Awesome !!
It's so good.. I'm really really happy
TAB Zombies on a Chieftain.....all I get are compliments
I love the sound TABs are making!! Thanks for watching
Both beautiful bikes
That's exactly how I felt when I got my 19 chieftain darkhorse
Hell yea!!!!!!!
Pretty sweet, congratulations! Very happy for u and hope u thoroughly enjoy that bike.
Oh I really hope I do also!! But I could ride any motorcycle and enjoy it.. so hopefully I get the seat time to take advantage of what this bike can being me!!
Wow it's loud that really makes it go LOL
Oh it's going to go for sure!!
I just brought my Challenger in December. Because of were I live cannot ride much. But I was think about the rinehart pipes. But damn they sound nice. So far how do you like them?
I havent rode it yet.. 3 weeks in going to get away for a weekend I'll get you updated
not sure if this guy knows how to edit but if you want to hear the new exhaust 640 is it, it does sound 100 times better would’ve been nice to hear it without any baffle
Thank you for watching!!
Was that slip on or full? Sounds awesome
Slip on!!
Did you have to do a tune on it after the slip ons and intake change?
Indian did a flash tune
That is a HOT bike brother. I love it. Happy riding! I put stage one on my 2019 chieftain dark horse and in sport mode it’s pretty bad ass. Is that a dark horse challenger? I see a lot of upgrades on it already.
@@bjweaver3333 yes, this one is the Dark horse and thank you for watching!!
Sounds amazing! Trying to decide on single side short exit exhaust on my ‘19 chieftain
I love TAB PERFORMACE exhaust! thank you for watching!!
There are still guys using exhaust noise to get people to notice them? wow
I think you're on to something!! But I would say that we sound FAST!! LOL 😆 🤣
You are getting that thing hooked up nicely
Thank you!! All done as of now!!
That sounds Victory good!
Thanks for watching!!
Maybe I missed it. But did you take the cat out?
Sounds great.
No, I have been it talks but no one make a bypass yet.. like headers that go to mufflers.. I'm keeping my eyes open.. I DO believe that TAB is working on something!
Dan sold me mine too!
OOOOOHHH! YES!
Yes, I cant wait to ride now 17 days!!thanks for watching!!
Great content! I am following you!
Thank you!!!
Beautiful bike, do the bag speaks add much to the sound quality to the bike?
I don't know because I put them on right away! .. but to be honest if you upgraded just the front speakers in sure they are most of the sound!!
Sounds good
Thank you!!
Hey, you mentioned the JW Speaker headlight, super curious on those. Just picked up my challenger yesterday and noticed the stock headlight sucks, so definitely want to upgrade
Yes go wither JW Speaker or Indian adaptive.. basically the same.. at one time there was a special plug needed for JW . So reach out to them and see if tou would need it
Hey. Will get the tab slip ons for my 23 indian pursuit. Trying to decide between the 2.5 medium louvered baffles or the zombies. Don’t want really loud. But definitely a bump up from stock pipes. Does the medium baffle give a loud enough sound is it noticeable over the stock.
It is feel much better coming off stock pipes!!
@@Ridingfish meaning. The medium baffle is much better than the stock pipe?
@tlong9812 yes, it's not crazy loud at all.. but compared to stock they will sounds much better
@@Ridingfish thanks for advice.
@@Ridingfish ok. The real question is not will i hear my music but will i hear my pipes now with the 2.5 baffles due to how loud i play my music.
I highly recommend getting a PV3 from fuelmoto and ditching the factory flash. Their flash tunes are garbage and a fuelmoto tune will wake it more and it will run better.. just a suggestion
Does it work for the Challenger?? I was not aware of one that works
@@Ridingfish I have heard that they are working on tunes. I would recommend giving them a call at fuelmoto.. I have the tab bam sticks with zombies on my 19 chieftain.. they are sick sounding, I love'em..
Omg man that's awesome which tab fit ? Where thay slip on's for a chieftain?
Well they re under the Challenger spot on their website.. but I DO KNOW that chieftain mufflers are the same!
You gotta go ride it now Brother. I put the Zombies on a month ago, then went to their 2.5" baffle. At 95-100 mph they a little to loud for my taste.
It is nice that if I want to change it I can just add them! ..
I hate the air filter system on the challenger. I want it on the right side so I don't have to remove the seat or tank that's just ignorant. Just saying, Hey Indian! It's time to rethink this issue!
The amount of ram air tho that gets delivered is amazing.. I believe the harley Vrod had the same design and Vic also.. thank you for watching and commenting
Cool, nice luggage rack get some long distance.
thank you
Wooooo
Oh yea!!
I ordered mine yesterday,the air filter is on back order until july
You're not gonna believe it, but Mason has posted a photo of the magnum on Facebook.
I've let him know about this video, see if he gets hold of you 👍
Thank you!! I have had some good talks with him.. one lucky guy!!
@@Ridingfish you're welcome.... Enjoy the new bike, we're still waiting on the challenger to get here in Australia
Are those just slip ons or headers and mufflers - please ...?
These are just the slip ons
I asked Fuel Moto about the TAB Zombie baffles and they said you loose back pressure. Your experience? I have Rineharts which sound great at idle and sound like stock when riding.
I did a dyno run with tab and a 2-1 cat delete with a guy with Rinehart.. check it out!
@@Ridingfish how do I check it out? I probably won't understand rhe data anyway because I'm not really interested in engines. I just want my bike to run properly and sound good.
@@Ridingfish P.S. what if I stay with my 2-1-2 setup? Same advice?
@@tyroneshoelace4872, so it seems that the 2-1-2 doesn't have the same effect.. also the zombie are not as loud with that set up..
Zombie tab performance did require indian calibration card? Dosen't affect the warranty?
No warranty issues.. and i did a full stage one upgraded and they flashed it for stage one
Sweet ride, I like your channel. However loud pipes don't F'n save lives. Attentive and skills save lives.
Attention and skills I 100% agree.. but getting someone else's attention sure can help!! I'm bike on getting better at riding and I have taken advance motorcycle classes to improve my own ability! And plan on taking a trail riding in may before my adventure to India! Thank you for watching.. I love the back and fourth!
@@Ridingfish great to hear about the advanced classes. I have done the work too. There is greater enjoyment to be had being a skilled and prepared rider.
Yes, it's always great feeling afterwards when I'm able to control my bike better than before!!
😂😂😂
What is up with the flashing brake lights? What was the all in cost?
I believe it was the camera and it wasn't doing that in person.. I thought the same thing while watching the tape.. but dont remember it in person
LED lights actually flicker at a high rate and when you video them, the frame rate of the recording device makes them look like they are flashing because you are catching them in the off state. Works the same with a helicopter, there are videos on CZcams of helicopters that are hovering but their blade are not turning. Super trippy.
Im the first to say.. there are ppl much smarter then me... but learn from all thank you!!
Be nice to see what you think after a long fast run on the road if it's fatiguing or not
I should have information by the end of FEBRUARY for you!! Keep an eye out for a video.. anything specific you want me to shoot for you?
Does the tab add to the performance or just the sound...and with the stage 1and the tab..and the flash tune would be interesting to know if there is a significant change in the dyno numbers from the stock configuration
So, I haven't seen any real information on the performance numbers.. but i do know I'm going on a trip in a couple weeks and there will be a few challengers with different setups and so that video I'll show some of the differences in performance a little! Say tuned!! Thanks for watching
Yes that's what I was going to ask, difference in performance pipes and sound etc I know D&D are making something at the moment but it's early days filters and slip on's, full system, and filters will all come in time, I am very surprised you didn't de cat your bike before fitting the slip on's from tab , a de cat releases a stack of power
@@matthewnorwell5353 , YEA that cat is huge too.. but i dont just cut things ill wait for someone that knows what they are doing to set my bike up with something much better than i can set up!.. im pretty sure Tab is working on somthing..im sure a few others are also
Nice bike, would like to have one some day.
One thing bothers me, a nice blacked out bike and they put a silver swing arm and pulley on it.
Unacceptable in my book whether you see it or not. It just seems half assed to me.
So I didnt notice tell you pointed it out.. does seem odd they would powder coat it or something..
Sorry, I hope it doesn't drive you crazy, it would me. It would be my OCD.😂
Your cameraman is making me dizzy. But then it don't take much.
that would be me ...sorry.. always improving THANK YOU FOR WATCHING
Did you do the Tab Cat Delete or just the slip ons?
I have done both!! In this video I believe it was just slip ons! I have had slip ons, 2-1 cat delete multiple baffles . Toce slip on and now two Toce 2-1 sets!
Is Indian still honoring your warranty after these mods?
Yes sir! And Bison thunder has a lifetime warranty (powertrain) came with the purchase as long I has do the 5k services...Thank you for watching!!
Weighing options. Other than cost what's the difference with vs without the Stage 1 air intake
So having the stage one air intake adds HP and TQ for power! .. to be honest I had it done at once do i didnt run the bike with just pipes.. so idk if there Is a sound difference with the air intake
@@Ridingfish thank you. I may run the stage 1 intake first to see how I like it then add the pipes later..I pick it up today! EXCITED!
Anyone notice how massive those head pipes are? Think they're powerful now...these bikes are gonna be NASTY once cams are available...
100% agree!!! I hope I'm able to get them when they do come out!!
Is a tune needed for the tab zombie only?
Exhaust only NOPE... you're good to run!!
@@Ridingfish thank you
Hoping in my next life, I am born with enough inseam length and size to ride touring motorcycle
Get big boots!! 😜 If not I also hope you have longer inseam as well!!
Cool beans
Any issues with your bike? Been hammering it?
Not an issue at all.. I'm riding it very hard and how I believe the person that designed it wanted to be rode!! Lol I'm just over 1800 miles now
@@Ridingfish good to hear, there are no indian dealers in my area. Nearest one is like 60 miles away
Ugg . Well if it makes you feel better I ride 55 miles to mine only because i dont like the one that 30 miles away!!
@@Ridingfish haaaa yeah really I totally understand. My BMW gets serviced an hour away and my local Stealership is a mere 10min away. I'm still waiting on any perspective bugs to show up before I get serious. Thanks for sharing your progress. Hopefully someone will do a cam install video in the future
How much did you spend total with the zombies and the air intake
Basically retail.. I may of got a small discount because I had the dealership install it all too
Bike is nice but I don't know if it's the mic or what but to tell the truth it doesn't sound so good to me.
Fair enough.. I dont have a set up for wicked audio stuff.. but thanks for watching!
Can those pipes pass inspection in California?
I thought I just heard California wont even allow aftermarket because of noice pollution?? So then I guess IDK
Is this with a cat delete?
No this was with the CAT!
why do the tail lights keep going on and off in the video ?
so i had a guy tell me that it has to do with the speed the camera take its video.. but they work as expected haha
@@Ridingfish cool my Challenger is getting the tab exhaust installed today
You're going to love them!!
Maybe change out that super weak sounding starter?
Man, it makes it a sleeper!!
Just my opinion but time for ear plugs ie hearing protection, there partner...🦻🙉
Might be right about that! .. I'm thinking when I'm on it traveling away from the sound should be ok!! Thank you for watching
If you are a bar Queen you may want loud exhaust if you put many many miles on way overrated
I really dont drink.. but I put on a good amount of miles.. To each their own!
Everything is amplified in an enclosed area.....any hoot I have TAB w power duels...fucking loud...cause HD rocks
They were loud.. thank you for watching!
Does this have the alarm system like the Chieftans?
I dont think it does
@@Ridingfish After messing with it at home. I figured out that it does. Once it is locked one time you double click the lock button and it will do a half honk to let you know its armed. I verified with the dealer.
@@jimmieson09 , so I didnt know that.. does it honk if someone stands it up or anything then?? I had no idea!!
@@fredfisher1177 I honestly have not tested that out.
@@fredfisher1177 Just to follow up with you it definitely starts to honk if anyone presses any button besides the power button and tries to stand it up without the key fob.
the challenger looks like a twin to the Victory CC hmmmm wonder where oh wait Polaris used that to create a $30000 Challenger Brilliant Victory CC if he paid more than 10K michiganman got ripped
Naw.. that magnum is worth a lot more than 10k. I do agree that the CC set up is about the same as the Challenger it feels the same also
Why didn’t you take the Democrat CAT off
I did decat it yes!!
This dork made my decision not to buy tab.
Haahhahahahaha.... Happy to help!!! What didn't you like??
Triggered!
Didn't say what he got.. 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
