Company History
Under the Power Chief name, small American builders produced muscular customs that echoed classic Indian silhouettes—deep valanced fenders, broad tanks, and relaxed ergonomics—updated with modern brakes, electrics, and fueling. These bikes prized long-mile comfort and presence: torquey engines, plush seats, and geometry that keeps big metal composed on imperfect highways. Documentation and parts cross-compatibility matter in this niche; the better examples use widely supported components so owners can keep them on the road for decades. Historically, Power Chief sits in the tradition of respectful reinterpretation: the past’s romance with today’s serviceability, giving riders a rolling tribute that actually works as transport.
