Indian Powerplus identification

[chasekyle70]

My thoughts were of the 3-5 year timeline hoping to have a capable machine the year it would be eligible for the cannonball. Whether or not I would try to get in on it. My main goal is just to pace myself and be patient. Make smart decisions and do my best to not over pay for parts out of excitement.

Well, I was going to say 1917 because it has the earlier two point yoke above the swing arm struts, rather than the later four point yoke. I think that change was made in 1918, and if anybody was going to change that they would probably go to the later style rather than the earlier. I thought the front fork was the same from 1917 thru 1919, but Eric is pretty smart, so I hate to disagree with him. A lot of changes can happen in 100 years, and the frames aren't numbered, but I would say probably 1917 to 1919 with my money on 1917. Best thing to do would be to compare to internet pictures, and maybe take it to some swap meets and show it to some of the vendors selling old injun parts.

What are you going to do with it?

Sorry, my manners seem to have left me. My name is Chase Fairless and I have been around by definition antique motorcycles for quite a while. This however is by far the oldest one I have ever been a part of much less owned. I set a goal to own this type of motorcycle by the time I turned 30 and managed it by 28. To be 100% honest it makes me a little nervous, making the wrong desicions or ruining something so hard to replace. So excuse me in advance for all of the information I will be seeking in the future. As per request here are some more photos, and thank you for the warm welcome.

I believe the main fork is post 1917, so I think it would be 1918 and/or later. . . And that's about all I know I think everyone would love to see some more pictures, and an introduction is usually in order. Welcome to the AMCA forum.

I was hoping to get help identifying the year of this motorcycle I recently picked up. Any information would be of great help.
