RUNNING BIKES - 1939, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1950, & 1951 INDIAN CHIEFS FOR SALE, all have Jim Mosher Powerplants.I got these bikes mostly in the 1980's as I was planning on a restoration shop. I soon found out that parts manufacturing was my passion, 30+ years ago. I've been collecting and manufacturing additional parts for these machines ever since then. It finally came time to put the bikes together and here they are. A lot of the sheet metal is original Indian. All bikes have a CV or Linkert M344 or M350 carbs, rebuilt Autolite distributors, and complete Autolite generators. These bikes have rebuilt and working Corbin or Stewart Warner speedometers and all have OEM headlights. All bikes were properly assembled by me, so you can easily see what's there and that the parts fit. I've been doing this since I got my first bike, a 1953 Chief, in 1967. Yellow Dog, 1951 Chief, and the electric start 1947 Chief, are a little different.If it is important for you to modify the bikes on offer by adding or subtracting parts or to negotiate the prices, this website is not for you. Same for those that want me to assemble their dream Indian Chief project bike.
