parts from the Catalogue, and some custom work to modify the overall look of the stock silhouette of the bike to subtly set it apart from a stock bike. The engine was left in stock tune except for the addition of an Arlen Ness Velocity air cleaner kit and a S&S Qualifier 2-into-1 stainless steel exhaust system with a black finish. “It (the exhaust system) looks terrific,” Amstutz said. “The first time we fired up the bike and heard that sound, everyone around the bike had a big smile and the same thought – ‘We need to ride this thing!’ The sound is incredible!” There is plenty of performance from the stock combined with exhaust and air cleaner upgrade, “But there are some plans to do some additional engine tuning,” Amstutz said with a laugh. A full custom lighting upgrade includes a ProBeam Adaptive 2 headlamp and harness and TruWRAPS 360° smoke LED front fork lights from Custom Dynamics. The rear signals have been upgraded with Kodlin’s 3-on-1 smooth bullet housing indicators with run/turn/brake functions. “We The 2025 Indian Catalogue Bike, built by Music City Indian of Nashville, Tennessee is a true “Catalogue bike” - designed and built in collaboration with Drag Specialties. “We (Music City Indian Motorcycle) are known for creating some pretty cool custom Indian motorcycles,” Amstutz said. “But the challenge on this build was different. We worked with Drag Specialties using what was available in the Catalogue, along with some custom work by our team, to make a bike that was a true custom build but wouldn’t break the bank. Someone can come into the shop, see this bike and see it as something they could do with their own bike.” The build started with a stock 2023 Indian Sport Chief. “Indian is kind of notorious in the custom bike world for using aluminum frames,” Amstutz said. “This model year bike is the first to have a steel frame. That makes it easier to modify, rake out the front end. However, we wanted to keep the stock frame rake and trail for this build to maintain that sporty feel.” Amstutz said the build focused on a careful selection of ON THE COVER 2023 Sport Chief Customized By Music City Indian
