I have had this frame for several decades; and it has been tucked away, and hard to get to. So I never really researched it; as to what year, it could be from.
Would I be wrong in thinking that is is an Indian? I do remember, that the previous owner said it was an Indian. It is not the later Chief style, I am sure of that.
The springs are heavier than the ones on most early sidecars; and there are three springs. This is leading me to think it was for a commercial box rather than a passenger sidecar; but what do I know, hardly nothing about this. Just the length of the springs are 54 inches, and the frame is heavy. Another clue is that it has a 500x16 disc wheel; most passenger sidecars have spoked wheels
I matched it up to an Indian frame, that I found on the internet; and all of the major pieces are identical. but it didn't have a body to it either.
There is a very clear serial or model number on the font casting; which is: C-14 with a B directly below the C-14. In my pic, the center tubular support, that usually hooks around the upper motorcycle frame tube, near the motorcycle seat, is loose and can be adjusted to fit the motorcycle; I just have it connected but not tightened in place.
Does anybody know what this is and what year?
