Indian CHIEF CLASSIC description

I purchased this original 1948 Indian Chief with matching numbers in July of 1992 from the 'Bose Collection' in Hollywood, the bike was featured in a 1991 Levis commercial. On her 50th birthday in 1998 I had her completely rebuilt, a project that took a couple of years and cost over $ 36k between 'The Shop' in Ventura, CA, Richard Brazas in Inglewood, CA and Wilson Planck at 'American Indian Specialists' in Fullerton, CA. The bike was shipped to Hamburg, Germany for a few years and has been legalized and registered in Europe as well as in the US. All records are complete, brakes, and carburetor have been improved by Wilson Planck. I love this bike and am only selling it because we live very rural in Northern California and she doesn't like our dirt roads, despite the fact that she was originally built when there were a lot more roads like ours. She is currently registered and insured in CA, but I am just not riding her enough these days and would like to find a good home for her. More info and details on request.
