Indian 741 description

For sale my 1942 Indian 741 (Civilian Scout) project.  This was to the bike of my dreams.  But a crippling injury and the rest of life has ended that dream.

I have everything for this.  You can see in one picture all the rest of the parts. Wiring harness, cables, lines, switches, boards, horn, decals, center stand clip, etc. What you can't see is the new brake shoes and turned hubs (installed) and exhaust (forgot to take pic).

The engine and trans were rebuilt and bored to 650cc by Randy Walker of Walker Machine (if you know Indians you know Randy) and is fresh and ready to finish and run.  The tool box, tanks and fenders are from Iron Horse Corral in the 38-39 style. It is converted to 12V.  New Zenith Carburetor.

The frame, hubs, crash bar, and other black parts were powder coated black here.  Many other parts were chromed when the bike was overseas.  It was sent to the UK Commonwealth forces in India before it went to Germany where I bought it.

It is ready for you to finish and paint in the manner of your choice.

To clear up some info, the Carburetor is a new 38mm Zenith Bendix.

Introduction1 of 11Next Last The theme song to “The Grinch” describes the eponymous character’s soul as “An appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable,” and that’s pretty much how we feel about biker movies. Exceptions such as “The World’s Fastest Indian,” “On Any Sunday,” “Faster” and “Take It To The Limit” exist, but gems like these are rarities. An attractive female straddling a bike on the big screen — no matter how audacious, unbelievable or misguided — usually gets a pass.

1st-Ever NYC Motorcycle Film Festival Sept. 26-28

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re in the midst of the biggest creative boom centered around motorcycles since the 1970s. The massive, youthful rise of moto-mania has excited big motorcycle factories to collaborate with rising garage artists, and has inspired professional filmmakers to produce that long-dreamt-about motorcycle feature film. Every customizer has an in-house photographer and a YouTube channel; media platforms from magazines to television shows are swamped in advertisements featuring riders and bikes; and biker fashion is all the rage on the streets, sidewalks and runways from Venice to Williamsburg.
