Collection: Replicas

This page is to showcase bikes that I have made in the past. While I am not making them any longer, I feel it is a proud and monumental moment not only in my lifetime but in the history of Indian motorcycles. These Kiwi replicas/customs are the most custom made proprietary motorcycles in America considering I make the complete engine (yes every part that goes into it), transmission, frames, forks, handlebar, internal controls, wheel hubs, gas tank and the long list goes on. It would be easier to list the items I don't make like wheel spokes, brake calipers, brake master cylinders, tires, speedometer, seat cover, rear sprocket and maybe just a few other tidbits. That's not too many considering the 100's of other parts I did make.

My aim in building my bikes was to offer riders a brand new vintage Indian that was reliable, fast, powerful, high quality craftsmanship, sexy and that would stop fast too. Mission accomplished.

I'm very proud of what I have built so I wanted to leave it here for you to enjoy. Thank you to all who have given me the opportunity to exercise my talents to build awesome brand new Indians since 1988.

During the 1920s, motorcycles were still making advancements in mechanical design but the changes from year to year were not as significant as the pre '20s. In 1920 Indian introduced a new engine platform where the transmission was bolted directly to the engine crankcase making for a solid and robust power plant. The robust double loop frame design was also introduced making Indians extremely durable along with superior handling.

The early 1900's saw a mechanical revolution with advancements in design taking major strides each year. Board track racing was huge with crowds reaching in the tens of thousands. It was the ultimate dare devil motor sport in its day. Dare devil balls out racing on race tracks made of wooden planks with up to 60 degree banked corners where man and machine ran wide open at in excess of 100 mph with no brakes, throttle wired wide open in which speed was only controlled with a kill switch. Kiwi brings this model back to life somewhat tamed to be joyfully ridden on the street.
