Indian Motorcycle builds cruisers, baggers and touring bikes like the Scout, Chief, Chieftain, Challenger, Springfield and Roadmaster, plus the FTR. The online store also sells riding gear, apparel, accessories and genuine parts.
An Indian Motorcycle order goes well when gear fits and is certified, and when parts match your exact model and year. This guide focuses on gear and parts, not financing.
Choosing an Indian Motorcycle helmet
Buy a helmet certified to the standard required where you ride, such as DOT or ECE. The listing should state it.
Fit matters more than style. Measure your head circumference above the eyebrows and use the Indian Motorcycle size chart.
Full-face helmets protect the most. Open-face and half helmets suit the cruiser look but protect less, so weigh that choice carefully.
Jackets, gloves and boots
Indian Motorcycle sells leather and textile riding jackets. Look for CE-rated armour at shoulders and elbows, and a pocket for a back protector.
Gloves with palm sliders and knuckle protection are worth the extra cost. Boots should cover the ankle and have oil-resistant soles.
Textile jackets are better for touring in mixed weather. Leather suits dry riding on a Scout or Chief.
Genuine accessories by model
Indian Motorcycle accessories are built for specific platforms and model years. A seat or bag that fits a Chief will not fit a Challenger.
Use the fitment filter on the Indian Motorcycle store and enter your model and year. Check the VIN with a dealer if you are unsure.
Some accessories, like exhausts, affect emissions or warranty. Check local rules and the Indian warranty terms before fitting.
Oil and service parts
Indian Motorcycle sells oil change kits and filters matched to its engines, such as the Thunderstroke, PowerPlus and SpeedPlus. Match the kit to your engine.
Follow the service intervals in your owner's manual. A dealer can handle work you are not comfortable doing.
Tyres, brake pads and chains or belts wear with miles. Inspect them before long rides.
Riding apparel and fit
Casual Indian Motorcycle apparel, like tees and hoodies, sizes like normal clothing. Riding gear often runs differently, so check each chart.
Try riding jackets in a riding position. Sleeves should cover the wrists with arms forward.
Touring and luggage accessories
Indian Motorcycle sells saddlebags, trunks, windshields and seats for touring models like the Roadmaster and Chieftain.
A taller windshield cuts wind fatigue on long rides. Check the fitment and height options for your model.
Comfort seats and backrests matter on long days. Indian Motorcycle lists which seats fit which platform.
Load luggage within the weight limits in your owner's manual. Overloading affects handling and braking.
Visibility and rain gear
High-visibility layers and reflective panels help drivers see you. Consider them for commuting and night riding.
Indian Motorcycle rain suits pack small into saddlebags. Pick one that fits over your riding jacket.
Heated gear extends the riding season. Check your bike's electrical capacity before adding heated gear.
Buying for a new rider
A new Indian Motorcycle rider should budget for helmet, jacket, gloves, boots and riding pants together. Protection matters more than looks.
Take a rider training course before riding. Many regions require one for a licence.
Start with gear from the Indian Motorcycle store that fits well, then add style pieces later.
Protective riding pants and base layers
Riding jeans with abrasion-resistant liners and knee armour protect far better than regular denim. Indian Motorcycle and its partners sell riding pants built for this.
Check the armour rating and whether knee pads are included or sold separately.
Base layers that wick sweat keep you comfortable under leather in warm weather. Pick breathable fabrics for summer rides on an Indian Motorcycle.
Care for leather gear
Clean leather jackets and gloves after dusty or wet rides. Condition them a few times a year to stop cracking.
Store Indian Motorcycle leather on a wide hanger away from heat. Replace a helmet after any crash, even if it looks fine.
Replace riding gloves when the palms wear thin, and check helmet straps and buckles before every ride. Small wear on Indian Motorcycle gear matters most in a fall.
Where the Indian Motorcycle savings are
The $500 off code is the biggest value, likely aimed at a large purchase. Check at checkout what it applies to.
The $20 off gear code suits a helmet, gloves or jacket order. On smaller baskets it beats the 10% code.
The 10% off code wins on gear orders over $200. Compare it with the $20 code in the Indian Motorcycle cart.
Codes may exclude some items or apply only online. Check the terms at checkout.
