Yup.......Indian made the Model O from 1917 to I believe 1919. I think Harley introduced their model in 1919....... Hmmmmmm......maybe Indian got the idea from Douglas and Harley borrowed it from Indian?????..........

It does look rather suspicious that Indian came out with a flat twin in 1917 a couple years before Harley did, but I still think there was a direct British influence on Harley's Sport Model.

An Indian Model "O" is found at the AMA site so at least one survives:
