1948 Indian Chief Original Matching Numbers

Just 65 miles into my owning the bike, the motor blew on the freeway. Which started my odyssey in making sure this bike was rebuilt 100 percent correctly. The journey is complete, the bike is solid with just over 800 miles on it.

The motor has been completely gone through with EVERYTHING either replaced or rebuilt:
The bike has an absolutely flawless, hand rubbed "Indian Red" paint job that is period correct and awesome.
For safety reasons, the bike was upgraded from a 6 volt electrical system to a 12 volt, making it much safer to ride at night (easily changed back if you want it to be period correct)
An electric start was added ($2,500) and could once again be changed back to original. She fires up like a dream
I had a hand-formed stainless steel exhaust system fabricated and installed -- which is identical to an original Indian exhaust system. Like the bike itself, the exhaust system is truly a piece of art (cost $3,000)
All major motor bolts are grade 8 stainless steel bolts that have had the "grade 8" machined off of their heads and then polished
Because the bike has been sitting the past 6 months, I had a new battery installed and the bike was serviced this week.
