74ci 1948 Indian Chief, one bad bike!
The motorcycle is mostly original with some vintage aftermarket parts like the kicker pedal, muffler, floor boards. Paint is not original but has a nice patina and looks good. This bike has not been over - restored like so many old Indians and Harleys you see. I prefer to have a bike with some old scratches/ imperfections / patina and personality, and that is what this has! The electrical system has been up graded to 12v as you can see in the pics. The motor itself has an estimated 2k miles since it was gone through. Original speedo works but the needle does bounce while riding.
I had the speedo cleaned and reset to near zero back when I first got the bike. All wiring was replaced with a new and correct cloth harness, new bar switches too. All lights and warning light work as they should. New battery this past spring. Antique horn cover on modern 12v horn. Bike has the correct Linkert Carb in good shape and a K$N filter in the chrome housing. Has a Corbin leather seat. White wall tiresare older but have very few miles on them and no cracking. Brakes work as well as they did in 1948, that is to say they stop you fine as long as you anticipate your stops.
This bike with its foot clutch, hand shift, hand throttle and ignition person will take some practice to ride safely. This bike is very happy to run anywhere around town you might want to go as long as the weather is not too hot! This motorcycle, just like all the war era air cooled bikes I've owned does not like 90 degree weather, so I ride it in the mornings and evenings when it's cooler. Has always been an easy starter and runs well. Bike has been well maintained. Clean title!Used 1948 Indian Chief 780 miles
