Hello motorcycle enthusiasts,
I am looking for any kind of information on 1926 and later Indian 2-cam 45ci (OHV) , 61ci (SV) and 80ci (SV) racing bikes with broze timing cover.
- Does anybody have production figures of the "A-base" Indian engines? (I call it "A-base" as I think all these 2 cylinder racing engines had an engine number with "A")
- What are the numbers of bikes you know of?
- Where are surviving bikes, parts, engines?
- How long were they produced (I have seen pictures of a 1938 land speed record machine with this lower-end, but were they still made in 1938?)
- Are there any original 1920ies or 30ies pictures of SV roadracers unsing these motors?
I did a bit of reseach but could only find out little on these bikes - I hope some people in this forum know more about them and are willing to share some of their knowledge with us.....
Cheers,

P.S.:
- my engines is 61 A 51
- in Germany there is a 45ci OHV roadracer A45-21 1927 45ci (maybe the number is 45 A 21 - have not seen it personally)
- Tony Leens from Holland has an 80ci racer - I do not have a number, but should be 80 A XX
- in Denmark there is a 61ci SV Racer which has modified numbers according to the owner
- I was told Mort Wood has a 61ci SV Racer 61 A XX
- in the Wheels Through Time Museum there is a 45ci Hillclimber (Numbers A45-30 or 45 A 30??)
