1927 Indian Scout and Goulding Litecar

[20scout]

Just finished hooking up my Goulding Litecar to my 27' scout. Still have a few bugs to work out on the bike but it's finally come together.

That's gorgeous, man!





Love those Gouldings! Terrific Scout.
(I just put the "[IMG]" HTML tags on each end of your photo addresses, man. Great pictures!

Nice job and a cool hack!!!

[exeric]

Very nice work. Not only do the bike and car look good together, the paint is standout. I also see a Sport Scout back there. . . Is it a '41 ?

[c.o.]

I'd hazard a guess that it's a '40....

I'd hazard a guess that it's a '40....

Thet thar is "Peaches"!

Nice work TR!

[20scout]

Yup, Phil and c.o. are both right. That is my main squeeze, a 1940 Bonneville Sport Scout, a.k.a. "Peaches".

The 27 is not original factory colors but re-painted to match the color it was when I got it form my great uncle. I have to put some yellow pin striping on the hack but I'm liking it.

Thanks for fixing my photos Sarge!

1927 was the first year the Scout grew to 45 inches, right? And '28 was the intro of the "101?"

[c.o.]

Sarge, that's a yes and a yes!

[20scout]

Painter called today and the pin-striping is done! Amazing what a little pin-striping can do! I pick it up tomorrow but will have to wait a bit to get some better pictures (it's raining).

Geez, guess in all the excitement, I forgot to post up pictures. Sorry, my bad.

Hey Tim, Great looking sidecar rig!

A few questions for you:
1. How does the Scout handle the sidecar?
2: Do you have any leads on any other sidecars available for a Scout? I have plenty of sidecars myself, but a friend may be interested in one for his 28 101.
3. Is the frame at all similar to the Goulding sidecar made for the Harley 45?

Thanks, Gene

That turned out great Tim!!! Nice job!!!

[20scout]

Sorry I missed your post Gene. I still have a few bugs to work out with the hack but it is not as bad of a ride as I thought it would. No speed demon but a fun ride non-the-less. Unfortunatly I do not have any other sidecars as this set-up was my great-uncles. It wasn't until recently that I found out just how unusual this rig is as it seems to be the only one in the country (so far) made for the Indian scout. Please prove me wrong on this statement as I would love to compare notes! From what I understand the frames for HD and Indian are the same only the connections are different but the sales flyers only show the Goulding Lite sidecar for 1927 Indian scout 45's. As I said, I would love to hear more from others who have one.

It's hard to find the words to describe it. Simply outstanding. I wanted to hop on(in) and ride. Thanks for posting.
