Caleb over at Cro Customs consistently builds killer scoots, and this one is no exception. 2000 Indian Chief, goosenecked with all sorts of trick bits, but what really does it for me is the front to back flow it has… the bike has soul. Some folks think that modern Evo’s can’t attain the same kind of soul that an older powerplant can - for a while I bought into that, but it’s bullshit. Bikes like this, as well as many others prove that theory wrong. Of course the engine plays a big part, but it’s not just about the engine. It’s about the overall design, the attention to detail, the vibe that the builder infuses into the bike with every choice they make. Cro gets it and every bike I’ve seen come out of his shop kills it like that. Undoubtedly one of my favorite builders out there today.

As for the bike… Cro has a great write up about the build on his blog….

Two Drunk Injuns, Build an Indian for a Squaw
Where do I start? About 6 months ago I was approached by Cary “Carrot” Larouche about doing something with his wife’s 2000 Indian Chief. ” She wants a kind of Zero style thing”.

Let me talk to him and see if he is down for it” Red flag three. I generally work alone.
