Indian Chief description

This ad is for the 1947 Indian Chief - NOT the 1958 HD for the selling price

 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


  • Matching Numbers
  • Engine VIN # includes BM for Bonneville motor - I will NOT be held accountable if it is not!  

I have NOT pulled the heads to verify this & no plans to do at this time

Per the history for engine numbers by Indian, it would be a 1300cc motor vs 1200cc

I "have not" pulled the heads to verify piston size/height/bore, stroke, etc. 

  • Carb is correct for the year as a M344 Linkert. 
  • A partial restore is started. 
  • DO NOT FAULT incorrect hardware! Current install is a mixture!
  • Magneto was sent off to Belanger's in Maine or "Mainely Magneto's" in January 2016. Replaced!
  • Mechanic who worked on this bike in January to May stated it was in running condition 

I have done nothing to the bike and being sold AS IS!

2023 Indian Sport Chief Review - First Ride

Mon, 27 Feb 2023

FOX shocks and Brembo brakes turn the Chief into a Sport Chief, as Indian goes after the Harley-Davidson Low Rider S. Credit: Photos by Garth Milan | Videos by Troy Siahaan, edited by Ray Gauger Indian pulled no punches and left no doubt when it came to the bike it had in its crosshairs when developing its latest model. Usually at press intros, we all know what other model(s) could be considered competition, but it’s very rare to have the host manufacturer come out and say it.

Wed, 14 Aug 2013
