Gold strike
This time it honours first responders, particularly the Jack Daniel’s Fire Brigade and their gold and black firetrucks.
Apart from being only one of 177 built, the value added includes special paintwork that includes real 24-karat gold graphics on the tank and fenders.
The numbered Montana Silversmith badge is also coated with 24-karat gold.
Other custom details include a perforated leather seat, and custom grips, pegs, shift levers exhaust tips with gloss black finishes and Jack Daniel’s logos.
It also features chopped fenders, vented exhaust shields, knobby tires and a sleek headlight nacelle.
The bike is finished in subtle two-tone matte black paint, a first for Indian Motorcycle.
Jack Daniel’s is the only distillery in the world with its own fire brigade, which is staffed entirely by employee volunteers.
Company spokesman Greg Luehrs says the three-year collaboration with Indian Motorcycle reinforces the message that “Bottles and Throttles Don’t Mix.”
