Default Humpback Indian copy??

Im not sure if I really ever posted this so if I did just look over me. I built this at the end of last year and rode it for a bit before winter set in. But its my weak attempt at a 1903 I think Humpback Indian. I used a Sears Freespirit frame made the tank altered the muffler and chopped the fenders a bit to match the picture. I want to build a small bullet shaped pipe to put in front and stick the plug wire and cdi in. Has anyone ever taken one apart? I need to make it a bit smaller to use the right size pipe. But planning on when the weather gets better to strip her down and paint her black.
I just love the old Indians I wnated to flip the head and run the carb up front and the pipe out the back but wasnt for sure if that could be done or not. So heres a few pictures...later

Blows me away, the amount of room in that frame. You could get a second engine in there.
Nice job on that tank, I know you spent hours on that project.
