Indian Woodsman tech info
Indian Woodsman description
This is a 1955 Indian Woodsman 500cc single, one of the Indians produced by the English Royal Enfield and imported by Brockhouse after the Indian Springfield plant closed. The Woodsman was a 500cc single cylinder competition style scrambler/enduro having a 21 inch front trial type wheel, twin front brakes and skid plate, etc.. It would have had a high exhaust pipe and low flat handlebars. This one was converted for street use, i.e. street exhaust and bars. It's an older restoration that still looks nice, though not 100% correct. It runs and drives great and looks good but I have not checked the lighting system as it requires a 6V battery, which is not needed to run. Thinning my collection. Clear title in my own name.

Get your credit cards out because tomorrow, January 9, 2014, will see a 1923 Indian Big Chief with Princess Sidecar owned by McQueen and fully restored by Von Dutch put on the auction block at the Bonhams Las Vegas Motorcycle Auction. Previously sold at the Steve McQueen Estate Sale in Las Vegas in 1984, the 74cu (1200cc) Indian is “capable of reaching speeds of 90mph.” If McQueen’s coolness factor isn’t enough, having the notoriety of Von Dutch’s restoration is the icing on the cake.
