Indian Chief description

If you are looking for a great driver Indian bid on this bike.  I bought this bike locally from the Nephew of the dealer that sold it new.  I have owned it for 30 years and drove it in parades.  In its life it has been all over the country and has a very interesting past.  It is running and shifts nice in all gears.  I have only put 600 miles on it in the last 20 years so it is time for someone else to enjoy it.  Call with questions 712 269 1047  after 4:00 central standard.  It is not restored it was freshened before I bought it.  There are imperfections in the paint and wear and tear.  The chain guard needs repaired from the kick starter and there is a small dent in the top of the tank.  Very presentable but not perfect.

 I do not have to sell it so the reserve is firm.  Others have sold for more and Mecum thought I could get that in Kansas City.

Mon, 22 Apr 2019

Pre-Polaris Indians Recalled for Cracking Rear Rims

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

But as the new owners of Indian Motorcycles, Polaris is left with the responsibility of correcting defects from previous designs.
