Chief Vintage Cruiser.

Hard to find a picture from the left hand side.
This is all I could manage so far.

Really don’t like the colour shade in this photo. It’s more maroon than red. So I now wonder what the colour really is.
Don’t matter anyhow. As I won’t be buying one. Single disc. No pillion and instruments need to be a big dial on the tank. IMHO.

Brick red/mud in colour. It won't ever move fast enough to need a second disc and any owner is sure to be single with a gut that would obscure tank mounted clocks. It's truly horrible.
 
I think it’s too heavy a bike to rely on just one disc up front. Even with no passenger.
 
Does it have linked brakes? The rear anchor usually work pretty well on this style of bike and the front would dive horribly with the inevitable soft fork
 
You can order a pillion seat and sissy bar from the accessories catalog, likewise soft panniers and screen.

Ref it being not fast, I would beg to differ, the 116 is torquey and quick, same engine in my RM and it’s a lot heavier. Obviously there are faster bikes out there if it’s speed you are after but that’s not what this is about. Do you really want to be going 100mph plus on a bike like that? It would be capable of it but probably not that comfortable at that sort of speed maybe better if you add the optional touring screen.

Never had a problem on my jap cruiser with a single front disc.
