Completely restored race bike. Restored in conjunction with Bob Stark of Stark Lite Indians.Restored by Master Service Technician Cowboy at Cowboys Indians. Bike is currently on a non-op.
I found this bike in Indiana last summer and purchased it over the phone. I was going to Indiana to see some friends so I figured I would pick it up then. The Indian was sold to me with the understanding that I would get a clear Indiana title, I picked up the Indian but never got the title. So..it is being sold on a Bill of Sale. Titles are not that hard to get in most states. THE COMPLETE BIKE SHOWN IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THIS BIKE COULD LOOK LIKE AND WAS THE COMPLETED GOAL OF THIS RESTORATION. THE RESTORED BIKE PICTURED IS NOT MINE AND IT IS NOT THE BIKE I AM SELLING This is an original matching numbers Indian Chief with the frame number of 346383 and engine number of CDF383. It has not been re-stamped. The man I bought it from was restoring it for a local attorney, it sat in his shop for a couple of years and he managed to ruin the wheels by letting them rust so I had a new set of 18" wheels built by Jerry Greer's. I had the frame and front end powder coated along with all the black parts. The front end is newly built with new bushing and springs. The engine needs to be rebuilt but is complete with the correct carburetor. There are a few damaged fins on the heads and cylinders but it survived quite well. The rear fender, tool box, correct one year chain guard, and generator shroud are reproductions. I believe the tanks and front fender are original. I had the generator rebuilt by Indian frank and it is now a 12 volt generator with and electronic regulator. I have almost all the small bits such as the bell cranks, brake rods, etc. but they are at the CAD plater. I show pictures of these parts unplated but they will be as new. I have a set of reproduction CAD plated fasteners for the bike as well The front and rear brakes and hubs are in a box as I was going to send them to Jerry Greer's for restoration, they are complete. If you have any questions call me at 951-992-9839 I will ship anywhere but the buyer pays shipping and makes all arrangements. I will not load this project on some open trailer for some yahoo with U-Ship to destroy, I've been there and done that !
