The Chieftain Elite was a limited-run, top-of-the-line Chieftain. Its signature is hand-applied Fireglow Red Candy paint with marble-effect accents, which took a specialist team more than 25 hours per bike, so no two looked identical. It adds a machined 19-inch front wheel, cutback fender, Pathfinder LED lighting, a flared windshield, billet floorboards and a 200 W audio system on top of the standard Chieftain touring kit.
