Nice! Just don't leave it at a recording studio.
Oh, no worries there, Dave!
Thanks for the comments, guys! To answer some questions, yes it has the side shifter (hand shift). You can see it on the right side photo coming from under the gas tank and curving around towards the top. It has a black shifter knob on it. Indians were, with only a couple of exceptions, left hand throtte/right hand shift. In the spirit of originality, that's how it will remain.
I found the bike on a small website called George's Worldwide Antique American Motorcycle trader around 2004. Originally I'd emailed about a '25 Henderson Deluxe motor for $4500 but it turns out it was pretty much an entire motorcycle. Separately I'd emailed a guy about this bike and it turns out the same guy owned both, he'd just posted from home and work emails. Made a deal and bought both. Later I sold the Henderson and regret the hell out of it.
The guy and both bikes were way north of Saskatoon in Saskatchewan so it's cool that it was a Canadian Army bike and I found it in Canada. Turns out that Canada only received 550 of this model and it's one of those.
I can't wait to start this sucker up, but I'm also kinda apprehensive about it.
