The scene and the style look American, and the chair looks like it belongs on an Indian. Are you going to tell us it's a Polish Sokol?

I always liked your Indian, sure wish we could get a vid of you riding it, at least running.
My indian of course is different but when you look at the Old Guy's there weren't to many that were same either.
I was looking around today and found several bikes that were different makes but yet shared a particular design style

I read a thread on another forum about restoring a 1980 Schwinn Speedster and the guy used wood bleach,AKA Oxcalic Acid to get the chrome cleaned up, well I bought some at our little Mom & Pop hard ware store and tried it out, WOW! after 4 Hrs sitting in the solution and light periodical scrubbings with a tooth brush my parts came out like brand new.
If you all haven't heard of this stuff and have some old parts you don't want to pay to get re-chromed, you ought to try it.

It's just too cool! not to share with us & how it runs since the harley is just for deco and to tell the truth I've always loved Indians, I was raised by one who rode one(still does)and your bike was My inspiration for building one.

Ok Finally! got my base gasket and head gaskets copperized and head torqued down and dog house for coil dolled up, you can also see the modified piston from CR Machine Man, this engine has some good compression already with just one stock (Chinee) head gasket and a nice clearence ratio all round

Ha! Ha! Ha! OH! Ha! Ha! 10 yrs Ha! Ha! starting to get a better handle on progress but then every time I do another Job comes along, I will post more pic's.
Tomorrow I will re-fit the tank with better washers under the bolts,pet cock, fuel filter but there is still stuff I'll have to waite on because Dan has to modify the Expansion Chamber to run from the left to right side that means he's got to hook a ground cable up to the bike to do some tack welding and I can't install the components until then, intake tube has to be cut and leveled for the carb and I can't hook up any of the Electrical stuff and I'm also thinking about replacing the crummy chrome covers with SBP billet covers we'll see ? Dan keeps telling me I'm about 4-5 Hrs away from completion but we're both sticklers for detail and the details are what is taking the longest time.
