 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!

Fri, 04 Jan 2013
