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.

If you’re in the market for a rare vintage motorcycle, however, it may behoove you to give Tom or his brother, Ralph, an old fashion phone call. A website does exist, brimsimport.com, but its for searching the inventory of late model car and truck parts — the cash flow supporting Tom’s motorcycle obsession.
