Thanks for the good advice Atetu. Can anyone throw me a dollar figure on what this bike is probably worth (assuming it is a 1928 model)? $1,000? $3,000? $5,000? $10,000? I'd like to get a good d...

Hello, this is a scout model but is it really a 1928? Check carefully the serial number. I think you will have to straighten the fork, it is bent rearward and the fender is near to hit the frame. Chec...

Hello, I don't know what these old Indians sell for these days. I have an opportunity to buy this 1928 bike (see photo). Can some of you tell me what a bike in this condition would normally sell for...

With my Chief I decided to put in a King Clutch which is really pretty sweet. Though I must say just grooving your regular disks is almost as good. My 741 which I've had since the 70's I pretty much ...

I want to thank you guys for all the great advice, I can't wait to get it on the street, I've been working on it for quite a while,in between other things. I'll probably have a few more questions . Th...

Sit on the bike and practice going thru the motions shifting into every gear. get yourself prepared for the ride of a lifetime. the first ride on a chief has got to be one of the best feelings in the ...

I put a King Clutch in my 47 after riding for a year, and I love it. I had a bad experienjce my first ride because I did not put the kickstand all the way up. When I went to turn to the left onto a h...

Thanks for the help,I have not had a chance to ride it yet, I still need to put the chain on and a couple of other small details, I put a new King Clutch in, is there anything I need to worry about fo...

I agree with Duckman about the lube. I also shy away from WD40 as it tends to "wash away" some of the better lubes. I have a 1947 Chief and there is no return spring on the throttle, but it is easy t...

i usually lube the whole length of the wires and a little bit on the sleeves moving parts. I don't like wd40 or any spray lube for this as it attracts dirt. many people will probably pound me for sayi...

Duckman,the oil is pumping great, i thought that the throttle may just need a little filing,do you think some white lithium in the T slide may help ?Thanks for your help and advice ,Bob Smock

The twist grips on the carb side shouldn't be so stiff as to have to use force to turn the throttle in or out. Sometimes this stiffness is caused because the T slot part in the grip is to tight. (not ...

Duckman, I started the engine today, everything went fine,had a problem getting the carb adjusted correctly,but finally prevailed, I have another question ,if you don't mind,should the throttle have a...

Duckman, I did not start it yet, been extremely busy with work,hope to fire it up soon, thanks for your interest,I'll let you know when I do, Thanks again, Bob Smock

Bob did you start the engine.
