 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!

Indian Motorcycle has unveiled the 2022 FTR lineup

Tue, 09 Feb 2021

The FTR engine is unchanged, and even the 1203cc V-twin is still at 123bhp, but the engineers have tweaked the settings to make it Euro 5 compliant. Other than that, there are quite a few changes.

Indian Announces Two-Tone Paint Schemes For 2015 Lineup

Mon, 14 Jul 2014

Indian Motorcycle, America’s first motorcycle company, announced today in a sneak preview of its model year 2015 lineup that the new model year would also bring a return of the classic two-tone paint scheme the early Indians were known for. The much anticipated vintage paint palettes were on-display over the weekend for fans of classic motorcycles at Vintage Motorcycle Days 2014 in Lexington, Ohio. The iconic two-tone schemes will build on the overwhelmingly positive response to the current 2014 Chief range, known for its hi-torque Thunder Stroke 111 motor and precise handling, thanks to Indian Motorcycle’s sand-cast aluminum frame technology.
