[ShadenGheist]

@TwinCamSam88

Thanks! We worked hard on it. It,'s been sold, so looking forward to the next, even better one. ;)

[Agamum]

Strange this is the only Indian I have ever heard that sounds like my dads Yamaha XS650.

[SAMUELDUNGAORIGINAL]

I'm from Brazil. I liked the video. I wonder if you own the video, this could put the engine in a motorcycle chassis of a Honda CG 150cc MIX BRAZIL

[ShadenGheist]

@SAMUELDUNGAORIGINAL

Yes, I own the video. I made it myself. About putting the engine in a Honda 150 frame. Sure, it possible, with enough skill patience and money. I wonder though if that frame would handle the power. Better to find a bigger frame, or better yet, buy a Harley Sportster. The engine in this particular Indian cost over 8000 dollars to source and build.

Good luck!

This Indian makes me grin like a mule eating briars. Awsome moto.

[ShadenGheist]

This bike is down for an "Upgrade".

New Jugs, Pistons, Titanium Valves, Bronze Guides, and some new Custom Grind Cams. I should have a new vid up for your approval by the first week of October 2010.

The builder estimates another 20-25 Hp. It should scream. Be sure and check back!

[1925indian]

what is top speed.

[ShadenGheist]

@1925indian

200 MPH :D

Who knows? It has no speedo, but I figure it will do 100mph easily

[dollzballz]

That thing sounds perfect!

[waysideleonard]

great bike! my dad probly built the motor :P

[ShadenGheist]

@waysideleonard

Who's your Daddy?

I always wanted to say that. ;)

[waysideleonard]

@ShadenGheist

Doug Burnett, but it turns out he just worked on it

[ShadenGheist]

@waysideleonard Funny, Doug wasn't in the shop today. LOL

[waysideleonard]

great bike! my dad probly built the motor :P

[pinkrd]

Man watching you blast up and down the road, made me smile like the Chesire Cat from Alice in wonder land haha, Cheers! Stinky Pinky, Tasmania

[colbycous01]

perfection

[ShadenGheist]

LOL! Nah, they just built them small back then. The average height for a human male was 5'7" back in the 30's.

Matt is 6'

[zzzak666]

That is a beautiful work of automotive art but it looks tiny,are you around seven foot tall.

[dinsboy]

Possibly the most desirable bike I've ever seen - just fabulous.

[fuxxkuo]

Nice bike!

is it hand shift gear?

that's interesting

When the bike in riding

and in high speed

will it be dangerous?

(single hand on the grip)

[horrorkat10]

badass bike

[zenman44]

Wow, what a great bike. grrrrreat sounding too! Hard to believe it is over 70 years old!

[acidangelster]

Wow this vid just made my day! Awesome sound........nice work.!

[irishbus76]

Truely awesome love what youve done

[hud42cdo]

superb!!thought about twin megas on my 47 chief-that seals it -lovely bike-great sound-to hell with the authorities-this is moto heritige!!

[ShadenGheist]

Those are SuprerTrapp Mega-phones.

Just so you know. Wouldn't want you to get the wrong pipes. I hate when that happens. LOL

[smcoats]

Very nice! What kind of tires are those?

[ShadenGheist]

Thanks! The tires are Avon dual sport. I'm not sure of the exact designation.

[spiderhawk9119]

your camera picks up the sound beautifully...what kind is it?

love that sound!

[ShadenGheist]

It's a Canon S-3 IS 6.0 Mega Pixel.

[CrazyAlvis]

Wow, what a great sounding and great looking bike!

[HeavyPantolones]

Wow! (jaw hanging open) and that sound... ohhhh...

[tprjj49707]

I am years away from that, I am assembling 57" bottom end in '36 SS cases. Did you use indian rods? Chief wheels? which pinion?

[ShadenGheist]

Sorry. I didn't see your post till just now. I'll ask Matt on Monday.

My understanding is, it's a Big Base Scout bottom end, if that helps.

And it is ALL Indian. This much I am sure of.

[ShadenGheist]

@tprjj49707 I was wrong. The wheels are aftermarket aluminum, with drum brakes.

[talihusky]

wow nice sounding old bike i love it

[kjellekrimminelle]

Whath a bike ! Nice sound and fast as hell !

[Kinzey91]

holy fuck its awesome !

[Whiterhino85]

Way to keep a piece of history in beautiful running condition. Sounds awesome!

[jtnelson89]

This is the first time I've ever heard a running Indian. It's terrific to be able to listen to this stuff, thanks to Youtube. I loved it!

[ShadenGheist]

Glad you like it. This one is a bit unusual sounding for an Indian though. The Supertrapps give it a sound all it's own.

[zztop45566]

nice work

[631959]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!! Nice job Matty!

[injunscout]

THAT is how a motorcycle should sound and look. Nothin better than an Indian

[ShadenGheist]

Except maybe 2 or 3 Indians. LOL Thanks!

[enfieldchopper]

nice hotrod, great sound too

[indianjoe45]

Damn that sounds good.... what about some onboard video? It would be nice!

[ShadenGheist]

I'm workin on it. LOL His helmet cam pretty much sucks at sound, gonna have to come up with a different set up.

[fleischegurken]

God, that bike sounds good...

[astars99]

Ver nice, sounds great!

[Melissadef]

Excellent. Beautiful noise.

[Skter91]

very nice

[thruxton76]

[ShadenGheist]

Thanks! He sure likes it :D
