This guy has no idea what it is worth or how much effort it would take to get it on the road. Would be way better bike in it's original frame, if that was still available. Is the usual half arsed effort, doing all the easy stuff before running out of time, dedication and inspiration. You need to be determined to do a project like this from the get go.

I remember my Grandad saying he wrecked his back riding old Indian motorcycles. Why the hell would you want to build, let alone ride a hardtail?
And being SLS, it shouldn't really matter, but that front brake mounted backwards just looks Gumby.

Indians had rear suspension around 1912, it was likely an army indian which they didn't have rear suspension but did have a pair of large springs on the seat to while they were hardtail not like the silly stuff we see without any movement in the seat.
Can't see any fun in riding that sort of thing at all.

Not sure re the chiefs and other but pretty sure the 20's scouts never had any rear suspension just leaf sprung front?

Wow thanks google I never heard of a scout pony i really like it.
This cool little 1937 Indian Scout Pony is a very rare machine and a great factory special. It was created as a low-cost model during the Great Depression after Indian was sold to the DuPonts. To economize, Indian streamlined production by sharing parts across the model range and built less-expensive models to sell in hard times, including the Scout Pony introduced in 1932. It used a 30.5 CI (500cc) side-valve V-twin motor in the frame, forks and sheet metal of the single-cylinder 350cc Prince model, with the single’s clutch and gearbox as well. Far from looking cheap or cobbled up, the Scout Pony turned out to be a beautiful little bike. It had a very compact look with the V-twin motor in the single’s light frame, and it was priced at $225, making it the cheapest American V-twin on the marke

20's chiefs were similar to the scouts, no rear suspension, it was the hedstoms and power plus that had it early. either way they had generously sprung seatsNot sure re the chiefs and other but pretty sure the 20's scouts never had any rear suspension just leaf sprung front?

Guy I knew owned a Vincent Grey Flash in his day. It had rudimentary rear suspension of a sort, but he complained that it was murder riding home with lover's balls.

Well my Grandad isn't around to ask anymore but it was nice to know there was some family motorcycle connection (mothers side). My Dad wanted to but a BSA as a student but was petitioned out of it by his sister convincing his mother against it. Hadn't thought about that for many years.

the grey flash shared the same set up as the big twins, the seat front was joined to the back of the fuel tank and the rear pretty much to the rear axle pivot, a few inches up the swing arm. it meant the passenger got far less suspension than the rider and the whole bike sort of hinged in the middle. When I brought my Vincent that was the bit i was most concerned with, how would it feel with the seat moving when going over bumps, it was barely noticeable. I put a modern damper in there and it was nice suspension for it's age

That CX Euro is very tidy for the mileage-even still has original seat-But not 8K,s worth.

maybe the value is associated with the rarity of a bike thats another 20 years older? There's a lot of people who cut their teeth on honda cervix'sSo many better rides than that around for that sort of money. Like this W800
