The changes for the 2004 Chief power train, which retained the 100-cubic-inch engine, included a redesigned crankshaft, a new camshaft with matching valve springs, vacuum-advance ignition, new cylinder-head castings with 9.0:1 compression, one-piece rockers, internal-bypass lubrication, and a new exhaust system, that reduced emissions and accommodated a catalyst for California models. These were claimed to provide a 7 percent horsepower increase and 14 percent more torque. The Chiefs' 170 changes also included Brembo master cylinders, the prettier hand and foot controls, new floorboards Gorgeous Indian Chief built by Indian Dealer in Gilroy, titled 2004, with several upgrades including 6 speed transmission, tach, Arrow shift linkage Chrome Primary etc. We purchased the bike from someon in Texas last November with only, it has original 1,500 miles. He had purchased the bike in 2010 when it had 17 miles. The seller had the bike at a San Diego museum. We add a brand new sidecar, brand new white wall tires, Indian Motorcycle paint shop, brand new genuine leather seats for the bike and Sidecar and leather wall panels to give it a nice elegant finish.
