No, be cause you are rebadging an HD to Indian emblems. This is like building a "kit car" and claiming its the real deal...maybe even worse than the kit car deal.

Yes but don't forget once I glue on the Indian face thing on the fat bob's front fender how would anyone tell the difference? you couldn't..you'd be hard pressed to find ANYONE who could tell that it used to be a dyna just by looking at it.

In fact the only way you could MAYBE tell it used to be a dyna is if I didn't put the tassles on it..but once the tassles are on there, no one would ever think oh hey this bike isn't an Indian...it HAS to be.

Right??

I've been suffering with a high fever* for 4+ days in a row...I'm beginning to think the delirium of that led me to believe this was a real thread.

*EFF you KOREAN CRUD!

Edit: Crud is like a hybrid of the flu and a really deep chest cold...on steroids. It sux.

Im starting to think this is a joke by the way the OP is always bringing up tassles.

Good luck. Its going to look really gay, but I guess that is the look youre going for. Good luck removing all the HD **** EVERYWHERE. Oh and the VIN number.

It's your bike, go for it. But I don't think it would pass as an Indian. More like a gay Suzuki marauder.

You'll be the first on your block. Watch out for the copycats (insert irony here).
