So yeah, updates...
Well I can't imagine very many are reading this blog, and then even less probably have ever heard of the the motorcycle company "Indian", but for those of you who have, after years of searching for the "right" bike, i finally found my Indian. A 1938 Sport Scout to be exact, totally rebuilt. It had at one point been converted to a racer, hence it has the gas tank off a '37 Sport Scout. Engine perfectly restored to original condition, runs off of a magneto & generator setup, custom ceramic coated pipes, all amazing condition.
Can't wait to start riding it, but its being shipped by freighter from the US and unfortunately it's going to be at least 2 months before it arrives in here in Japan. defnly worth the wait though. The paint job is too nice to just paint over, so i plan on finding diff gas tank and rear fender, customizing into more of a bobber. it'll probably end up being sometime next year, but i'll post pics again when it's done
