1946 Indian on 2040-motos

Condition:

                This is an old bike being 70 years old and a chopper built 40 years ago. So it could really use some TLC. The bike runs okay, but the mag is getting weak and the clutch is sticky. For how the bike looks it does show its age, the tire tread is low, the fuel tank shows scuffs and minor scratches, the chrome is in fairly good condition just minor imperfections, the paint on the frame of the bike has minor imperfections as well, the seat is in fairly good condition, the exhaust pipes show discoloration from the heat of the exhaust and the chain is discolored from use. I suggest rebuilding the Mag and cleaning the clutch plates. This is a nice bike but it is also an old bike so don’t expect to fly down the road at 80 MPH all day long it’s just not realistic. Feel free to ask any questions or come see the bike, I am honest and will tell the truth. I put 100,000 miles in the mileage description when in fact the mileage is not known because the bike does not have a speedometer.

History:

This bike was originally covered in “Easyriders” July of 1980 and “Best of In The Wind” published Winter of 1982. (See attached magazine picture) I will supply the magazines with the pink slip to the buyer. I thought I would never sell this bike, but I am currently building a 1927 Excelsior Super X racer and it is getting very expensive. I rode this bike sometime last year but the mag was getting weak and the clutch was somewhat sticky so I just parked it. The title is clean and in my name. (Registered as a 1946) This is a great old bike, super cool and is a big part of chopper history built in the 70’s and never modified.  

Shipping and Payment:

                You can ship the bike anywhere you want, you will just have to pay the shipping. I am available to help load the bike and storing the bike here is no problem if it takes some time to figure it out. I will need a $1,000 non-refundable deposit 48 hours after the auction ends. Paypal is fine as it makes it easier for everyone. Final payment must be received in cash or check and cleared in my bank before I let this beauty roll out the door. I will be starting the bidding at $14,000 as that is my minimum. I hope the bidding goes higher but we will see. I will not do trades or screwy deals. If you want the bike just pay me and send a shipper over here and we will load it. Keep it simple and all will be good. As with any used bike sale, the bike is “as is” “where it is”. You are welcome to come check it out personally before you bid if you want. Feel free to ask questions I am honest and will tell the truth.

Good luck bidding!
