Motocross marvel and custom builder Carey Hart has been an Indian Motorcycle brand ambassador for several years, and in a short time he’s modded his fair share of the company’s stock bikes. We’ve seen him rework everything from bobbed Scouts to stripped Chieftains to last year’s King Killer, a former Indian Springfield turned roadrace-styled rocket, which came out at 2019’s The One Show (where it won the Red, White, and Blue award for Best American Build).
Keeping the streak alive, Hart showed up at this year’s The One Show with yet another new custom to unveil: a reworked, freshly painted, and modded Indian Challenger, and we managed to snag some snaps of it.

We found the bike in the main exhibit hall where the uneven lighting wasn’t doing it any favors, though we could make out a super-slick new titanium exhaust system (still in 2-1 configuration) with a stainless collector and can from Fab28 (https://www.fab28industries.com/). The V-twin valve heads and air cleaner also received new finishes and graphics. Another big visual change comes from the addition of high-rise Z bars from Torch Industries and a custom fastback seat (with a serious bolster!) from Saddlemen. We also spotted new footboards, controls, and, since Hart’s a Dunlop guy, different rubber on this bike than on the stock Challenger. There’s probably much more going on underneath, but since the Indian crew was tight-lipped on the specifics, we’ll just have to serve up the photos for now. We’re sure more details will be out soon though, so stay tuned.
