Beautiful workmanship.

 

[Heretic]

Wicked cool on all accounts, I can't even pick what I like best. just too much.

 

[truckd]

I like the shifters on both yours and Dan's bikes (as well as everything else!) pretty cool concept and design from both you guy's.

 

[truckd]

Couple more pic's of Dan's bike I took yesterday while visiting and a storm from we (wife Driving) beat getting there, that rain was wicked once it got to Dan's

 

[Intrepid Wheelwoman]

Oh my that bike is beautiful beyond words. I look at it and I can hear angels singing.

That on-coming rainstorm looks mean. Living near to the coast like I do we get super heavy rainstorms caused by upper atmosphere saturation. When that happens everyone keeps an eye on the river because it can rise very fast going from a lazy flow to a boiling torrent in no time at all.

 

[truckd]

Thanks! I.W. pictures do it no! justice even in it's raw un-painted state.

 

[truckd]

Ok! it's been awhile since I have posted anything on "Big Red" that's because Dan has been busy with a V-Twin and then moving to the new shop and getting all the tools set up so here we go with some progress pic's
Exhaust
Oil Box/Tool Box
Tank tool box
internal throttle

 

[truckd]

Here is another up date
Tire pump
Carbide Lights
Carbide/water Tank
Foot Boards

 

[truckd]

Man I can only down load 5 pic's at a time so here is the stuff I couldn't post with the other stuff

 

[leadfarmer]

Man, that new Indian is sweet. Dan built my Indian Board Track racer, and I know his work gets better and better the closer you look at it. He is a master.

 

[truckd]

Thanks! for the Props I'll pass it on to Dan and yes he amaze's me all the time! this Guy has un-imaginable talent! when it comes to fabrication,

 

[Gbrebes]

Wow Trukd, I am so jealous of your bike!

Dan's creation goes so far beyond tribute bike, it is like watching a real 1916 Indian going through the assembly line (if there even was a line) in a company tutorial film.

Other than the modern engine, this bike seems to be a blueprint reproduction of the original. I can only imagine the wide smile and exhilaration you will feel on the maiden voyage!

One question I have to ask, but I totally understand if it's personal info you'd rather not share, ... How much is this bike going to cost? From the amount of work involved, I have to guess between $6,000 and $10,000, if not more.

Not only is Dan's skill unsurpassed, his attention to detail is sharp, he must have logged many man-hours into this project.

Like I said, I'm super jealous, it's like your going to have an actual 1916 Indian, priceless.

 

[truckd]

Thanks! I will pass the kind words onto Dan unfortunately it is not my bike and the cost is somewhere in-between your guess.

Yes the details are truly incredible! Dan truly is a leader in his field Talents Galore!

Hey! lead farmer post some pic's of yer Taylar Indian everyone would love to see it.

 

[Gbrebes]

Dang it, this bike isn't yours? I missed that part, sorry about that, I guess we can be jealous together.

Whoever gets it, I hope they ride the stuff out of it, and not just display it somewhere, although Dan's bike does deserve that.

It would be a shame to just stuff this in a man cave and stair at it. we're getting stuff together for mine He! He! He!
