Default Will boots made for Indian work on my Harley?

I just want to make sure they actually work, you know. The seller claims they will work on an Indian, Harley, or cafe bike, but I wonder if that's just a gimmick.

It's pretty clear they are Indian OEM, even though they were made by Red Wing. I just don't want to be conned.

Everyone knows you can't ride a Harley with brown boots. Improper usage, and/or failure to follow instructions could result in equipment damage, injury, and/or death.

Don't know if Indian boots work on a Harley, but my Harley boots work fine on a Russian Ural. Germans wore black on the German WWII BMW they're copied after so I think you're supposed to wear black on those. I've also worn olive colored insulated Hermans on both kinds in the winter, and those worked fine, too. Found out my Harley boots don't have much traction in snow...

It's a nice ride down to Redwing. On a Harley, takes too long on a Ural.

Ok. Should I be sure to use Harley oil if I forget to wear my 2 to 3 Harley items?

No they won't work on a Harley. You'll get stinkfoot.

What you need is a pair of these babies then you can ride with them AND wear them on stage at the part time job.
