the last picture of my indian before a chassis up resto started couple years back and the blue picture was the green before I started I also have that I own in the works a 1941 pre war knucklehead doing a museum restoration on it will be a light green like found on a 54 chevy 2 tome green if you ever remember one of those
Gilroy bikes are cheap but parts are a thing except the S%S engines and evo trans - the other Indians had all kinds of issues all the time = the new ones might be ok BUT Polaris when taking over the indian trade mark, went after all the guys in the antique indian business making small batches of parts for the collectables we own for copy right infringement - all they wanted was money they have no interest in making anything for the older machines - 25.000 bucks to use the name making one part per year put a lot of guys out and it has become a real thing to get some pieces made in the USA by real American's - a real example of corporate greed and the dealers expect us to attend events promoting the machines = not happening
yea MY Indian Chief is a 1948 and by its chassis number in production its actually 5 weeks younger then I am, so when its being a thing to start I know actually how it feels
What a bunch of utter bastards!!!!! Triumph didn't do that when Bloor took over the name.
