As you may have heard, Indian Motorcycle will have a strong presence at the inaugural Drag Specialties King of the Baggers invitational at Laguna Seca Raceway. Competing against a field of 12 modified Harley-Davidsons, the S&S Cycle and Roland Sands Design teams have each decided to go against the grain by entering their very own modified versions of the Indian Challenger.

Ahead of the weekend-long event taking place on October 23-25, we wanted to provide you with part one of a mini-series highlighting the work that both teams are doing behind the scenes as they prepare to take on the field.
