Indian Chief description

Up for sale is a fully restored 1947 Indian Chief Motorcycle. If you are in the market for one, I doubt you will find one in nicer condition. I am listing this motorcycle for my neighbor Harold, since he doesn't use ebay. All of the pictures were taken today, 08/29/2013 and show the bike in its current condition. He has fully restored three Indian motorcycles, and knows these bikes inside and out. He just sold the red 1946 Indian Chief that was listed for sale on ebay, this one is restored to the same high level. Only reason for selling is that he is getting too old to ride. If you have any more specific questions and are serious about purchasing the motorcycle, please message me, and I will give you his contact information. Onto the specifics-
 
74 cubic inch engine +.010 oversize pistons
Engine completely rebuilt with new pistons, rings and roller bearings
new intake and exhaust valves, springs, keepers, roller rocker arms
oil pump overhauled with new gears
primary chain is new(primary chain cover and front brake plate are fully polished)
clutch facings are new as well as the release bearing
transmission was completely overhauled with all new bearings, gears, idler shaft and output sprocket, cluster gear and sprocket gear
M/C has complete new exhaust
new kick starter arm
new drive chain and sprockets
electrical system has a new ignition switch, ammeter and speedometer
has rare deluxe speedometer with working tripometer
new headlight, spotlights, rear tail light and complete wiring harness, including all connecting wires
All chrome has been redone-

new handlebars, spotlight bar, windshield bar, and headlight bars, and rear fender bars (all chrome)

black/champagne two tone paint professional paintjob on this numbers matching motorcycle
 
 
all bolts, nuts, screws are polished stainless steel, nothing was left untouched, and the results are breathtaking! If you look at the close up pictures, you can see the attention to detail that went into building this motorcycle...well over 2000 man hours went into this restoration, you would be hard pressed to find one in nicer condition. No shortcuts were taken, and many NOS parts were used during the restoration. Only 349 miles and this motorcycle needs nothing except for a new owner!  I have been an ebay member since 1999, and have 100% positive feedback.  Motorcycle is located in Chesapeake VA 23320.  Thanks for looking!
