Hi Adrian,
at first I wanted to build a mild Café Racer, since I only got the frame, motor, gearbox and some minor parts. The thought was, to just put a single seat, rearsets and some aluminum fenders on it and make it a nice, period correct souped up bike.
The more I found out about the chief, and how rare these are, I just couldn't do it. There are so much more Connies and Meteors out there for such a project, it would have been a shame, to not use the opportunity, to rebuild that bike.
Well, long story short: It's gonna be as near original as I can get.
I found a kick stand for it, the kind that mounts to the front engine plate. I saw many pics of Indians having that one, but none that show exactly, how it is mounted. Am I right, that an additional hole has to be drilled, somewhere between the lower and the middle stud?
Allso, has anybody a good pic from the bottom side of the seat?
Thanks,
Andreas
