I went to the Indian motorsports to Purchase a new Indian roadmaster a 2021,and Rickthe sales person put me on a 2018 and I thought since it had only 9686 mile that it would be ok, he told me that it was up for its 10000 mile service to bring it in at that time and I did so now I have the bike back and two days later I noticed the fork seal leaking I take it back and they call themselves fixing the problem but the problem was in the steering it would not ride straight Handlebars was bent also so I'm going down the road with the tire going oneway and handlebars going another way and they were supposed to have fixed that problem now I'm in the grapevine with the treads on the tires breakin
