  • Indian sheet metal

    I went to the Side Car Rally in Griffith Park today. I saw a beautiful Indian with an all aluminum sidecar. The owner then told me he also made the tanks and all the fenders for the bike. These parts were beautiful. Check him out at www.theironhorsecorral.com

        that is Matt Blake from Iron Horse, he has the BEST sheet metal for Indians, and is a nice person to deal with. if you ever come over to the other side, he is the person to see for sheet metal

          Ah, this is the aluminum side car built by Matt Blake, owner & fabricator of Iron Horse Corral, who make a lot of the repro sheetmetal for Indians. Matt is a total hand-on guy, and can be found bouncing his wares in the likes of Titus Canyon in Death Valley. Matt has pretty much been able to resurect Indians single handedly by his products. Plus, He can rip a Sport Scout sideways around Chris's house before Chris even wakes up 10 times. I've seen Matt broad slide his street bike Indian until he got bored.
          Matt has offered to make a special side car for my paralized buddy who can't ride a bike as we know. Matt is one of the Good Guys in our Life Style.
          Glad you got to meet him, RF.

                I didn't count but there were probably close to 75 there. Noticeably lacking were old machines. Mostly stuff new to 20 years old. In previous years there were always around 20 fine antique sidecar rigs there.
