1968 Indian Super Scout 600cc

1968 Indian Super Scout. The engines for these bikes were bought by the U.S. Army in 1941, 42 and 43. The engines were originally 500 cc and when the bike was built they were bored to 37 CI, or 586 cc’s. The bore/stroke is: 2.750”3.063”.
The frame is a light chrome molly plunger type used in the 249-250 series with 53.5” wheelbase.
The forks are Indian Aerodraulic forks. The fuel tank is metal 3.2 gallons.
The bike sat in storage for about nine years in an enclosed hanger, until I purchased it. In November/December, 2018, this motorcycle was given a complete check. Fuel was drained, carb rebuilt, all new fluids timed/tuned and brakes inspected.

All electrics (lights/horn/brake light) are in good working order. The motorcycle originally came with a two up seat, Lucas type taillight, metal floorboards, metal kickstart pedal and high handlebars. I replaced the taillight with an original style Indian one, lower handlebars a solo sprung seat, original Indian period correct rubber kickstart pedal and new Indian floorboards. All original parts are included with the bike along with other parts and manuals. The solo seat springs are original Scout 7” seat springs but I do have a set of Colony 5” chrome heavy duty springs that I will include.
Brand new Coker period correct tires, same size and tread as the original ones that were on the bike in 1968.
The bike is always garaged and covered and started on a regular basis. All original paperwork, history of this bike along with all receipts are also included.
