This 2017 Indian Roadmaster is one of a kind! The trike kit that
completed the unique look of this one-of-a-kind Indian Custom
Trike is a California SideCar kit installed at Holeshot Powersports
and Indian Motorcycle in Fleming Island, Florida. The installa on
and customiza on was performed by Nick Jewel the service
manager, Mark Walley the B level tech and Robert Ochoa the
road A tech.
In order to complete the transforma on of this Indian Custom
Trike, both techs had to get and are now cer fied California
SideCar techs, a great benefit to have in an East Coast motorcycle
dealer. The Indian Roadmaster alone was valued at $34,000, the
California SideCar trike another $13,000 and add the labor. The
reason we say, "was" is because this beauty did not last long
parading on the showroom floor but just long enough for the
WOG Mag team to take some photos of admira on.
The reason for the trike kit cos ng $13,000 was that it
has reverse, independent rear suspension, disc brakes (all
the upgrade goodies offered) and the California SideCar
performance package that changes the rake of the front end
to make up for the trike rear end… BAM! One of a king Indian
Custom Trike! The only addi onal item these master-techs
added was the driver's backrest for comfort. That was the only
modifica on that was not from California SideCar and was a
factory Indian part.
