Description |
This machine underwent a full restoration in c.2010 by a professional Indian motorcycle restorer located in Melbourne. The bike was built to be rallied and ridden hence the upgrade to a later 1938 Indian Chief motor. The reason for this was to improve performance and deliver a far more reliable oil pump and ignition system than the standard 1934 equipped oiling system and breaker points system. A full ground up restoration with a complete mechanical restoration. The machine was ridden and rallied before it was acquired and displayed in a private collection for many years. Recently recommissioned and mechanically serviced, this is an excellent example of a very desireable rigid frame 1930's Chief. This is NOT an AMCA judging candidate, nor is it a trailer queen. This machine was built to ride and enjoy without the worry of mechanical failure due to the inadequate oiling and lubrication and difficulty in starting. The bike has been upgraded to 12V electricals. Comes with all the correct instruments and beautiful 80 mph Corbin speedometer. Fitted with a rear luggage rack and black saddle bags this is a greatr investor bike with 1930's Chiefs witnessing significant growth in recent years. Stunning black paint work with red tank panel and the iconic Indian script tank logo, the machine is accented by tasteful gold pin-striping. The bike is like new, tight with attention to detail in the restoration. Starts, rides and stops very well. Thes is nothing to spend on this machine.
