1947 RAINBOW Chief with Factory Sidecar! Never been apart. Clear Title! Very RARE BIKE...I've never seen another one like it. Chrome still great too.
Ken Edmiston rebuilt the carb, installed Ollie Cams, and put a brand new Indian clutch in it about 500 miles ago. Speedo works but odometer does not. Generator might need adjusting as it discharges with the headlight on but no problem with light off. Runs great ! Sounds amazing with those Ollie cams!! Has 6 Volt Optima Battery hidden in the sidecar for better reliability and no battery spills! Sidecar is the nicest I've ever seen! No rust and one of the last 40s sidecar with brake!~ Stops great.
Wonderful original old white walls,I think Goodyear Eagles, that still have a great tread and hold perfect air, with red rare accessory valve stem covers! Sweet rig. Nearly everything is original!!
