Hopefully it has Bluetooth communications so that heavy bulky cord will go away!

Thirteen hours to go. Guess I'll be staying up until midnight tonight to see their answer to the new Indian.

And if they redesigned the inner fairing I wonder if they did anything to the outer fairing to make it more aerodynamic.

Damn...this is reeeeeally making me wish I was at the dealer show right now...

If this is true there is going to be A LOT of retrofitting going on!!!
I guessing they dropped the oil pressure gauge so they don't have to low oil pressure anymore. haha.

I can't believe I didn't consider multiple gauges in one. I like keeping tach separete but the gas gauge could easily be put into one of those gauges. Volt, Temp, etc could be combined as well. I do like having a bank of gauges when you have the real estate for it.

I like aerodynamic. We could stand do gain some mileage. New changes usually look a bit spaceship though. I did see a bike last week that had spotlights built into the fairing. Guess that is how the new Indian is? I like the attempt. I wish I had a better glimpse of it to study it a little. I think I like the chrome around my spots too much to hide them in the fairing though.

I would be stoked if they left everything the same.And then concentrate on the dealers and eliminating the so called candy store concept.Make service a priority as well as parts availability.then quit hosing the ignorant on purchase prices.Make it mandatory that sales men are salaried in winter months so you didnt have a weekly turnover in the winter months allowing more idiots to come in the summer to rape people like they do at mega car stores

I just hope they don't delete the ambient air gauge! It's always been a favorite vs a oil temperature gauge. I see Indian followed in Harley's footsteps (must be a large parts bin carry over)!
