    The picture does the paint job no justice.

    I guess I was wrong. After showing the picture of the red one to my wife, with the front view that we saw, she said it looked like a Spider-Man bike and doesn't like it. :)

    Although I do like them, I just can't bring myself to own a faired bike. With only a couple of exceptions, I've always done mine with windshields that are easy to remove and install.

    "My wife will LOVE it... My wife HATES it!!!" If I had a nickel everytime I thought I knew what my wife would like and been dead wrong... I could afford a new Chieftain Elite, in any color I want.

    We just received our elite. You have to see this bike in person. Beautiful. The paint on this bike is very high quality.

    I'm thinking that, if the sales go well and these get sold right away, then Indian has to establish a separate operation to occasionally produce the Elite in other colors. They probably have plans and we'll end up knowing more about this new operation before the dealers. :D

    Chieftain Elite Picture.jpg Mine will be ready by the end of the month. Stage 2 kit and mid-rise bars with some other add-on materials have to be completed.

    I would guess others have bought but I'm the first one to post up. I'm waiting to see if they have a build number that comes with them or not. Nobody seems to know.

    Well, as far as I am concerned, you are #1.

    When you get a VIN, let me know so I can add the last 4 digits next to your name.

    Not surprised because I think they'll make more in different colors. There is no element of surprise, though.
