This Indian Chief was pulled from an actual barn in May, 015 where it had been covered and stored since 1970.
Fuel lines and Linkert were cleaned out, istributor adjusted, attery added, nd the old Indian fired right up, umped oil,
and sounded as good as new. Had to install a new clutch, ld one wouldn't unstick. Bike has been ridden locally,
but tires are very old.
I don't know if paint is original, ut guaranteed to be old with NO patina enhancements. All accessories including stars
and fender rails are period correct and have been on the bike at least 45 years.
THIS IS A TRUE AND RECENT BARN FIND WITH ONCE IN A LIFETIME PATINA.
Great care was taken to not to disturb the patina (and old spider eggs on bottom) when this old bike was removed from
the barn and when minimal work was done to make it a rideable motorcycle.
First picture was taken when it was removed from barn.
This Indian is available for inspection in Dayton Ohio area.
All questions are welcome,
Thanks for looking.
