The fact that Indian Switzerland jumped on board was all the added motivation they needed, there is nothing like factory support to get you going. Clearly with a love for dirt track, their most recent build was a flat track Yamaha XS650 in the King Kenny colours.īut with the FTR1200 still in its customisation infancy, the new build would give them a chance to really give the company some global exposure. This gives them a motorcycle mecca from which to sell their goods, that not only includes brilliant bike builds, but classic American pickup trucks, industrial furniture, unique designs and an old school rugged vibe that is at the essence of everything they do. Joining him at Heritage & Sons is Dany Kunz of Switzerland’s Ace Cafe in Lucerne. The man behind the spanners is Serge Lindemann, who’s stunning Norton 810 Dunstall we featured less than six months ago. So ready to dive in they picked up a new FTR and set about giving it heyday heraldry with serious modern mumbo. Enter Heritage & Sons, a united effort of some of Switzerland’s best, they love themselves some Americana, especially anything vintage. But the truth is, we haven’t seen more than a handful turned into customs, that’s largely down to how good the stock machine is.

When the bike finally arrived it didn’t let anyone down, looking like a flat track weapon and providing a grin-inducing ride on the street. The Indian FTR1200 was greeted with enormous excitement when the project was announced and the first pictures emerged.
