John, awesome find. That thing looks like a lot of fun. maybe I'll come up this fall and take it for a rip and destroy it's resale value..lol. James, I've been eyeball hustling that Indian for some time now, amazing looking machine. It's doing well on the dirt tracks from what I hear.
You found it in black, awesome find John! I am jealous!! Wally, you still riding the RC or did you retire it?

20180610_142406.jpg20180610_142346.jpg Yeah Rich, retired the big Honda. Had some suspension problems last time and we made a decision that the bike is becoming more and more rare, especially with Nicky's passing so we will restore it back to street duty. Building this monster right now, should be an insane track/race weapon. Excuse my shop, looks like a bomb went off in there!

i'll be waiting wally. it's no race bike but sure is fun to ride. i never road a rubber mounted sportster series bike but incredibly smooth for what they are. thanks for the compliment josh....ricky....james. appreciate it. i'll get a a few better pics.Originally Posted by wickedchop
on that Indian.....JAMES....if polaris can get the MSRP in under 12K they'll sell and sell huge. no reason they can't as the major components are scout and tooling paid for ages ago plus all the rest done in-house. cheapen up the suspension a bit and the 12K mark certainly do-able. one of the coolest bikes in decades. i LOVE seeing AMERICAN manufacturing and ingenuity that the rest of the world lusts after.
congrats john, looks amazing! now i want to go to the HD shop up the road and ride the (overpriced) one they have just for s's and g's. https://www.loesshillshd.com/default...=xAllInventory
thanks a ton for the compliment cody. check your mail. i never rode a rubber mounted sportster but they're incredibly smooth. was surprised how much i had to dig for an almost new one.
