The Indian Chieftain Running Bull Project

by David Cohen.

Follow our story as we take on the long term project of riding, testing and customising the magazine's own new Indian Chieftain.

In the beginning there was black. Much black.

RB started as a stock 2014 Indian Chief Chieftain that Heavy Duty Publisher, Neale Brumby rode from Melbourne to Brisbane on what was virtually its maiden voyage.

In Brisbane stage 1 of the customisation process began. The bike was handed over to Indian Brisbane who removed all the bodywork from the bike.

The panels were then sent to Mark Walker at Queensland Motorcycle Panel and Paint who has transformed the bike into a mobile work of art.

Now stage two of the Running Bull project begins as we use the bike for day to day duty around Brisbane, continue the customising process and eventually return the bike to HD HQ in Melbourne.

In the meantime we'll photograph and post commentary on our life with the bike. Don't forget to bookmark this page and follow our updates on Facebook.
