Reports say Indian Motorcycle will offer an electronically adjustable exhaust through its dealer network. It will be an option that lets riders electronically change their exhaust settings.
Being able to switch the exhaust electronically is a new form of custom. What I love is that one bike's expression changes with its rider's mood. Sound is a rider's self-expression, so Indian's stance of allowing that from the factory is classy, I think. Not just visual — this is custom for the ears.

Riders being able to electronically adjust the exhaust — curious just how much freedom that actually gives you.
If Harley rolls out a similar electronically controlled sound feature too, the North American cruiser wars could heat up again.
Indian getting more proactive with this kind of electronic device really shows how the cruiser crowd is changing.
'Available through dealers' suggests this is positioned as a retrofit option, not standard equipment.
If it's a dealer option, existing owners can retrofit it too, so adoption should be quick.
The European version was a partnership with Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde — curious whether the North American one is in-house.
Noise regulations vary by state in North America, so there's a real chance this has its own dedicated spec.
