1953 Indian Chief For Sale - Restored from New Old Stock Parts
This bike took 30 years of one mans passion to assemble.
In 1964 Bob Stark purchased the frame and motorcases. Starting a bike restoration with so few pieces seemed daunting. However, hat he decided to do is incredible. He spent 30 years researching, ocating, nd obtaining New Old Stock parts to complete the restoration of this 1953 Indian Chief.
A bike can be restored many times, ut it can only be considered new one time. This bike is the closest that can ever be obtained to factory new. We unwrapped parts from original factory wrapping, leaned them up and installed them on this one of a kind motorcycle.
This bike has been completely restored and assembled by Bob Stark, wner of Starklite Cycle. It is ready to ride. (Although if you do ride the bike we would recommend changing the tires to a new tire instead of the original Dunlops that are currently on the bike). This bike is probably the only New Old Stock 1953 Indian Chief in the world!
We have not started the bike. When the bike is sold we will give the winning bidder the option to have us start this New Old Stock Bike, r keep it as a showpiece.
