Discussion thread Anyone tried the Amazon Thunderstroke “Stage 1” air cleaner copy? About $380 cheaper than Indian’s

I came across an Amazon air cleaner listed as:

“High Flow Cnc Air Cleaner Intake Filter For Indian Chief Chieftain Dark Horse Classic Springfield Roadmaster Chief Vintage 2014-Up” from TOPRAMETAL.

Visually, it looks almost identical to the Indian Thunderstroke Stage 1 High Flow Air Intake (minus the Indian logo), but it is about $380 less.

I already have a Dynojet Power Vision 4 with a Fuel Moto tunes, so my assumption is that I would not need the Indian calibration card. I should be able to install the intake, send Fuel Moto the updated configuration, and load the appropriate revised tune through the PV4.

Has anyone actually installed one of these Amazon versions?

I am mainly interested in:

  • Fit and finish (is this product junk?)
  • Any air leaks or mounting problems?
  • Issues with tuning the bike afterward ?

I understand that the Indian part comes with support and the ECM calibration but nearly $400 is a significant difference for something that appears identical. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has firsthand experience with this intake or another version from the same seller on Amazon.

Was struck by an unlicensed driver this past Fathers Day, totaling my 2018 Scout Bobber after roughly TWO MONTHS of ownership. I was fortunate enough to walk away with a mild concussion, whiplash and a bruised back, but am okay otherwise. Was able to get myself a 2023 Scout Rogue in my dream color!

Discussion thread Full Digital Screen in the Future?

6 Upvotes

I get it, a lot of people like analog gauges. When I bought my 25 Indian Scout, I went limited but did not want the tech package because I did not want the digital gauge. However, considering a bagger in the future, and one thing I will give Harley is their big digital screen, which looks pretty impressive. I wonder if Indian will follow suit and go full digital as they continue to improve their Ridecommand in the next few years?

Chieftain PowerPlus 112

7 Upvotes

Finally pulled the trigger and got myself a Chieftain PP 112. Used with 6k miles at a decent price. So excited. Drove 85 miles from the dealership back to my house. Such a nice ride. To all the others that already have a chieftain pp or challenger what should I know? What should I prep for? Any lessons you’ve learned ? Origin sky wanted a thunder stroke. Love the feeling of an old school engine. Once I sat on a powerplus bike I knew what bike to get. Any advice is welcomed. Be safe out there.
