I purchased a 2005 Independance Chopper at a local dealer and I trusted the sales man about this machine. So far, I've had very minor problems with this soft tail. I would have to say it's an all around great bike. Of course, I'm concerned about where to get replacement parts. Sometimes, I guess, it takes time to work out problems. It's just like any toy, you can break things. I guess I wished they could of rolled with the punches and succeeded in the industry. Keep trying Independence!

Bought the bike last year from a private owner with 1187 miles on the bike. The bike has performed beyond my expectations for a hardtail. The ride is firm but not uncomfortable. The motor is great with it attached to the 6-speed trans. All I can say is the bike is fast, firm and gets a lot of attention. This ...

Bought the bike last year from a private owner with 1187 miles on the bike. The bike has performed beyond my expectations for a hardtail. The ride is firm but not uncomfortable. The motor is great with it attached to the 6-speed trans. All I can say is the bike is fast, firm and gets a lot of attention. This bike is not for the timid...because it is a rigid. Also, I have had no problems with the bike.

I have had three minor problems 1) baffle and turnout tip rattled loose at 300 miles - replaced under warranty by Independence, 2) ratchet mechanism in gas cap went bad leaving gas cap stuck on tank (empty at the gas station at time of discovery) - new gas cap sent via UPS covered under warranty by Independence at 433 miles, 3) license plate bracket broke - replaced by warranty. For the price, a great bike. Few minor aggravating problems that were solved by some persistent phone calls to dealer.
