A fully loaded, bone-stock 2021 Indian Challenger tips the scales at a gargantuan 840 pounds, but somehow, some way, the team at Roland Sands Design managed to shave a whopping 250 pounds off their bike in order to participate in the Drag Specialties King of the Baggers Invitational. With Frankie Garcia in the saddle, he qualified second behind Tyler O’Hara aboard the other Indian Challenger and, in the eight-lap feature race that was held at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca as part of the GEICO Motorcycle MotoAmerica Speedfest at Monterey, finished third with O’Hara winning the event.
