BIKER OLD SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY
1912 Indian Copy
The frame has arrived and is great so ther build begins. My plans are to keep a visual diary and post it here.
Frame by Harken Cycles
My intent is to reproduce this motorcycle or at least close to it. Eventually plans are to have both road bike and board tracker. Also now planning a Harley addition
I found these photos on ebay a few years ago. They are of a 1917 Indian. The motor is very close to the configuration I need so was a great place to start

Final layer done tabs trimmed
The Rolling Chassis
Tank roughed in
Heads almost ready to be put into rubber
Plans for the roto-cast machine for casting the new motors. With a little luck hope to have this built and operational by May 22nd. Well the 22nd almost gone and no roto cast but had vehicle problems. I guess it will be a long week
Motor almost ready to put in rubber (make mold)
Tank about ready for rubber

A decision was made to use Lynn@CustomMotoredBicycles.com not only 30% cheaper but Lynn returns e-mails.
Paint on now to finish parts and put it together
Board track bars on their way
A little welding some paint and time to assemble
I have decided to finish the bike in a well kept patina. A little more work but I think will have a great look.
