2022 Indian Roadmaster Classic

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

The bike had to visually flow from nose to tail, whatever was incorporated had to look like it belonged there.

What motivated you to start your project?

After 2 years , 15,000 miles,and riding through 23 states ,the trusty Indian was due for a some love. With winter approaching, I start tearing down the bike and begin the deep clean she drastically needed.She was a beautiful two tone Burgandy full dress Roadmaster. But I had bought a scrap bike just for the bright green tins on it and some spare parts and thats when the ideas start to flow. I started modifying this and making that and the next thing I am planning to build a bike.

Building hotrods in the family garage was one thing, but I had never built a Bike! The budget was tight and I planned to make due with the parts I had . But,  I didn’t want any parts from a catalog, I was going to fabricate or design everything that was to go into my bike. And this GIRL was going to build it!

With a love of the Gasser dragsters of the 60’s and 70 she had to have wild paint and huge horsepower. So I  fired up the tunes and started ripping and tearing.

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the bike?

Built a functional Center stand from Con Rods. By installing it at the front of the bike, it raises the front 2″ and the air ride lowers the rear 4″ making the rear of the bike look low and long.

What are you most proud of?

Taking two bikes and a bunch of scrap parts and creating something from just an idea

    Brenna’s bike is gorgeous. I’ve seen it in person and her attention to detail on this bike is immaculate. Love the iridescent chrome features and color choices. Great job Brenna!

    That is awesome to see all the work you did, wish there were more pictures of the bike after all the work you did. Keep up the great work, it was a turnaround.
