While the Indian Roadmaster has been designed for absolute comfort, but Roadmaster Elite will be adding an exclusive touch sporting a custom paint job. Indian says the dual-tone black and cobalt blue colour scheme is hand painted and takes up to 30 hours to complete. However, the big highlight is the 23-karat gold leaf badge on the fuel tank that certainly makes for a unique and standout feature on the motorcycle.
