its a extra fuel tank that fits a 1907-8-9 Indian goes on the top bar look like it would be a twin hack saw motor with the tank cut out

i have seen all the videos. that tank has no cutout for a rocker tower. anyway my foolish mind thinks the price was great for the buyer. if it's true 08-09 and if it's like billy says an extra tank then most likely not every bike had them making it harder to find.

Auxilary Gasolene Tank

An "Auxilary Gasolene Tank" is shown in the 1908 Indian sales catalog. It was only $8.00 in 1908. The tank listed on eBay was a very rare tank and was well worth the money if you needed it.

i think the price was more then right for the buyer. i see people list rusted out j tanks for that price. i wanted to buy it and build a bike around it but lucy calmly talked me out of it.

Ha! Rob, it's good to know that I'm not the only one who gets those notions....
