Summary
This 1948 Indian Chief features a 74ci V-twin engine paired with a hand-shifted three-speed transmission, finished in black lacquer with chrome accents. The bike was acquired by the seller in 2016 and has since received a carburetor rebuild, fuel tank cleaning, and replacement of ignition, clutch, kick starter spring, and battery. It rides on 16″ wire-spoke wheels and is equipped with a hydraulically damped girder fork, plunger shocks, and a black leather Chum-Me seat.
