Indian All description

I go these parts in a LARGE indian parts lot i purchased a couple years ago.  The stuff had been sitting in a post and beam barn for 3 or 4 decades.  this frame is absolutely CHERRY!! no dents, damage, cuts, repairs, nothing.  Straight as an arrow and looks like its had the paint stripped or sanded off? its not rusty or rotted, no pock marks from heavy rust or rotting like almost all of these frames are.  NO bondo, its as good as it gets!!  the VIN number is clear as a bell and the cases match the frame.  This is NOT a case that has been re stamped to match, this is the real deal.  Cases are NICE, baffles are perfect, no welds, no cracks, they are the late style cases with the late sump setup, beautiful original aluminum pump. bottoms aren't scuffed or damaged at all. there is one spot on the case where the inner primary mounts thats a little pocky and filthy, must have been sitting on the barn floor for a long time  doesn't need to be repaired or anything, just mentioning it because the cases are absolutely flawless besides that.  cylinders are mint originals, NOT taiwan made reproductions.   I can't get .020 pistons to fit in there so they are either .010 or standard bore.  NO chipped or repaired fins, bores are smooth and these will clean up perfect with a valve job and a cylinder hone.  heads are original trench heads with NO broken fins  I have clear NH paperwork in my name for this bike.  These are  high end restoration quality parts and are perfect for a restoration starting points  the rest of the parts can be easily found and high quality reproduction stuff is available, starting with a matching numbers frame and engine in this condition is the best foundation someone could ask for in my opinion.  I can ship anywhere in the world but the shipping cost is up to the BUYER.  I can NOT give an accurate overseas shipping quote till after i have it boxed etc.  payment will be made for the bike, then i will get shipping charges and they must be paid before the bike is released.  i will also include a notarized bill of sale with the nh paperwork    any questions please feel free to ask   do NOT bid if you can't follow through with the purchase.  thank you    joe

First Polaris-era 2012 Indian Motorcycle Rolls Off Spirit Lake Assembly Line

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

A new era has begun as the first Indian Motorcycle under the ownership of Polaris Industries has been produced at the company’s Spirit Lake, Iowa, factory. The landmark first Polaris-owned Indian won’t be heading right to the showroom floor however; instead, it will undergo extensive testing and evaluation by Polaris. As such, this particular Indian Chief Vintage, and the rest of the 2012 Indian line, will be fairly similar to Indian’s previous offerings, save for some minor updates to catch any issues Polaris already discovered.
