Indian Chief description

A really nice older restoration of a 47 Chief, the bike was correctly mothballed and stored soon after restoration due to ill health and has just been resurrected.

The bike has an age appropriate California 47 yellow plate and new tags for one year.

The current owners father was an excellent mechanic with a collection of vintage Indian and Harley Davidson bikes which I am bringing back to life one at a time.

At the time it was stored all fluids were drained and refilled with inhibiting oil, the tank interiors are as new.

The bike starts readily cold or hot, the compression is excellent as it should be with only 4000 some miles since rebuild.

I have put about 60 miles on the bike and it is mechanically quiet, rides and shifts beautifully and has excellent brakes.

The chrome parts are good to excellent and there are are only a few small storage scuffs on the paintwork.

Everything on the bike works as it should and I would have no problem doing a long trip on it.

The color scheme was originally all red, however a small number of Indians were sold with the red/black color scheme in 47 only and it was changed to this during restoration.

There are some period accessories such as screen and bags which are included with the sale.

Even though restored, this is a 66 year old bike, and as such is offered "As is Where Is" with no warrantee expressed or implied.

The seller will help with shipping logistics, however all shipping costs are solely the buyers responsibility.

A non refundable deposit of $500.00 is required within 24 hours of sale, (Paypal ok), with the balance due by wire transfer only, or cash if picking up, within seven days.

Please feel free to ask any questions before bidding as a winning bid will be regarded as commitment to complete the sale.

Will add video shortly
