This 1948 Indian Chief was acquired by its current owner in 2000, reportedly from its second owner of 25 years, and a refurbishment completed in 2002 included refinishing the bike in green over a black powder-coated frame. Power is from a 74ci V-twin paired with a hand-shifted three-speed transmission. Features include a sprung leather solo saddle, a chrome engine guard and cross-braced handlebar, a side stand, a foot-clutch, a girder front end, a two-into-one exhaust system, plunger shocks, 16″ wire-spoke wheels, and a side stand. This Chief is offered by the selling dealer in Oregon with refurbishment receipts, copies of a riders' instruction book and a parts catalog, and a clean Washington title.
