| | | Indian builder on H-D site :)
Shenandoah Valley Va. near Blue Ridge Parkway, Skyline Drive, and the beautiful wild and wonderful roads of much of WVa.  Ride a BMW1200lt with my wife for weekend trips to NY,OH,KY. Finishing a rebuild on my old '54 Triumph preunit chopper with 810cc jugs '68 Bonny crank,heads, ect. finishing putting a disc brake on the back of the plunger frame. Getting ready to paint '40 741, set up with skirted fenders to look like '40 Sport Scout and bumped up to 600cc. Just finished frame repairs for next project, a '47 plunger frame set up with 16" mag wheels, H-D FX disc brake front end, and next step is new parts for the plungers and to a machine shop to make caliper bracket and axel for disc on a 1980 wheel into the '47 plungers. This project is spare time when the budget allows, then drop a Kiwi 80" mill with 4 spd in with fairly stock looking sheet metal and see if it stops better than the '36 Chief. Then the 1936 Chief, have owned since the '70s been riding for quite a while, finished the latest rebuild 5 yrs ago, got tired of the old red paint and Indian head decals on the tanks of the traditional restoration and decided to spruse it up with chrome and custom paint, after complete mechanical rebuild. Then there's a Yamaha Secca my daughter rides, and a '99 custom softail Titan. Is that all 7  |

Well with comments like "putting HD parts on a Indian to make them run better" seams like most of the forums are more HD slanted, so figured I'd join the site to help balence that kind of unnecesary BS. |

Was cruising up around east and central New York. Came across a whole pack of Indians. They were all riding Harley's. Paps

Welcome to the site and sounds like you have some great machines.
I consider myself more of an Indian man, but I own and ride a few Harleys too.
