The horn is now mounted and ready to beep
Back side of the horn.
The electrical board, it was original on a 1939.
The transmission rebuilt 100%. New bushings, etc.
Heads redone with a nice wrinkel finish on them.
Oil pump rebuilt and tested on the only oil pump that puts a true load on the pump.

Scott and Mike, your bikes are gorgeous. It's so nice to see Indians on this Knucklehead site. Mike, what is the name of that green and where can you get it? I have been thinking of changing the color of my '40 Chief and maybe doing a two-tone color combo like your Scout. Not the Worlds Fair config. but using the color contrast. Again, beautiful bikes.Eric Smith

Eric,
The guy who painted my bike is a local painter here in Corona CA and he works for a paint company, so he knows his paints well. His name is Ed Aguilar, email him and ask him.

Today I was inches from starting the bike only to find out the battery was dead and I ran out of time as i had to leave and go pick up kids and do things around the house. So, maybe tomorrow morning if all goes well. I am still waiting for my chain guard to be painted and I have to still place the crash bars on the bike. The last thing to add is my rear speedo drive and cable. Almost finished, very close. Than I can nit pick certain things on it but its damm close ready to ride.

you do realize that I will have to inspect that bike, to make sure it meets AMCA judging standards. should not take too long, only 2 or 3 yearsKevin Valentine 13

I road the Scout today for the First time about 6 miles, all went well. I have a few small adjustments too make. The rear hinge on the fender broke, so I will be sending an email to the Company i got it from and hopefully the manufacture will correct this? Anyway, here she is minus the speedo cable, speedo drive, chain guard and crash bars. Its getting much closer.
