Hello fellow members,
Bought my dream motorcycle a 1946 Indian Chief around mid of last year. Since I was a kid, was always drawn towards antique motorcycles. At 31 was able to realize my dream of owning one last year. Used to ride an 2007 Softail Deluxe for 5 years, enjoy riding my Indian much more, it is way more fun . I bought the bike from California, it was a barn find, has matching engine and frame numbers, original front end, original tins except for generator cover, chain guard and tool box. My friend Pete Minardi from Whippany, NJ helped a lot with bringing it to a mechanically sound condition. I would highly recommend Pete's shop for any of your motorcycle needs.
After purchasing the bike have had the exhaust replaced, kicker assembly replaced, spark plug wiring, installed luggage rack, installed rear view mirrors, installed correct engine guard & original sun burst horn. Saving up to buy a correct original speedometer from Terry
.
The previous owner started a full restoration on the barn find, so frame has been powder coated, engine gone thru, guess he tried painting the bike himself
.
Look forward to learning a lot from members on this forum.
Regards,
Sunny.
