It's such a complete and original bike, Dale, that it would be worth it to take lot's of close-up digital pictures of every little detail and post them here. I'm talking right down to the bolt heads. I've spent a fair bit of time in museums and at shows taking pictures of old Indians, just so I can refer to them while I am trying to put mine right. I once spent four hours in the museum at Anamosa, Iowa just taking close-up pictures of three Indians. I'm not a photographer, I just use them for reference. Most of the bikes are restored to some degree though, so it's always a question of trying to figure out whether some details are correct, or whether the restorer has taken some liberties with them. Your bike appears to be so original, that it could be the 'gold standard' for 1917 Powerplus Indians. For example, I was thinking that the swing-arm bushings should have grease cups, but I see in your pictures that they have those little pin oilers. If you lived anywhere near Nebraska, I'd ask if I could come over and spend an afternoon taking pictures of your bike, but I checked your profile and I see that you don't. Anyway, thanks for posting those pictures, and any others you might be inspired to post.

Right side script. Kevin, you suggested possibly it was equipped with a sidecar because of the mounts and not having a rear stand. I was wondering that myself. It does make sense to me. I have fitted it with a repro rear stand to get it off of the boards that were holding it up!
