Summary
This 1948 Indian Chief has been with its current owner for 47 years and underwent a refurbishment in 2003, including an engine overhaul and repaint. Extensive work was performed in 2024, refreshing the valve job, resurfacing cylinders, and replacing numerous components. The motorcycle features a hand-shifted three-speed transmission, 16″ wire-spoke wheels, a hydraulically damped girder fork, and a tan leather solo saddle.
