Roland Sands - Indian Mecalero
Roland Sands Design built a new custom Indian Chief, (I think they only used the engine from the Chief), and it's very different from what they've done before. That one-off girder is tits! That Chief Indian looks gigantic in this new frame, love the 21" custom front wheel with rare Dunlop rubber. The FTR750 racer rear wheel is a rad detail. The distressed metal look is not my thing, looks cheap and corny, my opinion, ha. Who cares. All that is missing is a nice paint job. ;)

RSD - Scout
Again a mind blowing Indian Scout from RSD
Much rougher than usual but I like it very much.
Now let's hope Indian is more than just a little inspired/has the same ideas and is working on a more race orientated version of the scout.

Roland Sands - Caselli desert sled
November 7th marks the release of On Any Sunday, The Next Chapter – hitting theaters
nation wide. With its highly anticipated debut, Red Bull North America wanted to do something special to promote this iconic
movie. Dana Brown and Roland Sands decided it would be cool to build a custom
bike that would take us back to the original 1971 classic, On Any Sunday and bring those nostalgic days to modern life. This bike
build could have easily taken the path of flat tracker, hill climber or road
racer; but with the tragic loss of offroad racer Kurt Caselli last year at the 2013 Baja 1000, they all decided that a “desert
sled” build was in order. Roland Sands contacted KTM North America and they were on board to have RSD build the bike and help tell Kurt’s story, and raise awareness of the Kurt Caselli Foundation.
The online auction bidding for the bike starts today and ends on November 29th, with a live auction at A Day In The Dirt. For more details or to start bidding please head over to Compass Auctions and be part of history.
RSD:
"Our aim was to take a brand new, 2015 KTM 450 SX-F and turn it into something with modern day performance and reliability but, with the aesthetics and styling of the long-gone bomb runners of yesteryear. There’s something great about the simplistic lines of vintage bikes. The cool thing about customizing modern day motocrossers is that underneath all of the plastics, electric start and fuel injection, the bones really haven’t strayed too far from the original motocross bikes of the past.
The new machines have obviously gotten a lot faster, have way better suspension and are much more reliable; but changing the look was pretty straight forward. We hand fabricated the aluminum gas tank and chromoly subframe first, then made the aluminum side panels and number plates. The aluminum fenders are reproduction versions from a 1974 Husqvarna. All of this was done right on top of the unmodified stock frame and, technically speaking, you could pretend your riding down cow trails alongside Steve McQueen one day then return it back to a stock 2015 KTM and go race Anaheim 1 with it the next, all in just a matter of a couple hours.
We incorporated some parts that Kurt was critical about on his race bikes, including his preferred handlebar bend, grips, pegs and wheels, as well as a custom, thinned-out brake lever from Kurt’s long time factory KTM mechanic, Anthony Di Basilio. We think this bike would be set up just how Kurt would have liked it. All of the custom made parts, combined with the modern day aftermarket accessories, almost makes you wonder what year this machine is actually from.
