1941 Indian Four Cylinder on 2040-motos

Indian Other description

For sale is this beautiful matching numbers 1941 Indian 4 Cyl. I have had the bike for about 6 yrs. It was originally restored in the early 90's by Ken Edmiston and then spent about a decade in the Trev Deely Museum before landing in the stable of a former AMCA president who then sold it to the AMA Museum. I purchased it from a Georgia gentleman who won it in a drawing from the AMA museum. It was reported to be mostly original , a possible former police bike (with right handed throttle) and since I was unable to confirm whether it had an engine rebuild during its Edmiston restoration, I had the engine and transmission completely rebuilt by Conrad Lytle of Fairfield PA in 2009. It has about 200 break-in miles on it since. The speedo was never reset so it still has the miles that were on it when I bought it plus about 200mis. It had new spokes on both wheels, 1 new wheel hub and a new wiring harness put on at the same time the engine was being rebuilt. It has a reproduction ammeter, air cleaner and clutch pedal. I also put on some very nice reproduction period saddlebags and windshield. It has a porcelainized exhaust header and a very nice chrome muffler which definitely gives it that four Cyl growl. It starts easy, runs smooth and shifts well. The tires are vitually new and the engine runs with a rock solid 50 pounds of oil pressure once it's started. It has not been judged by the AMCA that I am aware of nor did I wish to have it judged. The images will tell the story and if that isn't enough, I have attached a link to a video I made of the bike so you can see it fully and hear it run. I have collected several more Indians since this purchase and I am looking to downsize to take on some additional projects. I have really enjoyed this bike but I don't ride enough to keep all the bikes, so something had to go. I want this bike to find a good home with someone who will ride her more often than I can. She's been built for it and is ready to go!
