Indian Motorcycle hits UV for six
No more fading issues under the harsh Aussie sun, thanks to a new polyurethane treatment. Those already caught can seek re-treatmentIssue with fading brown leather on the seat and luggage of your Indian Motorcycle? Well, there’s now good news on that front – and for new Indian customers there’s nothing to worry about going forward.
For those who have already been hit with the UV sledgehammer under the taxing local sun, Polaris, the parent company of Indian Motorcycle, has announced that all Aussie customers can take their bike back to the place of purchase for a free re-treatment to bring the seat and/or luggage back to the original look. The time period is open-ended, as well.
The initial Indians had a waxed leather treatment for a “pure leather feel” which, according to Ross Clifford, the Polaris motorcycle director for Asia-Pacific, simply wasn’t up to scratch.
Now, all the current models (2014 and the new Indian and Roadmaster) have a polyurethane treatment which is 40 times more UV resistant than the old waxed treatment.
The answer to the leather issue, one which Indian Motorcycle has acknowledged and tackled head-on, was made at the recent New Zealand launch of the all-new Scout – which just happens to have a solo brown leather seat.
