Does tightening the ride control help or is the springer the later one with the shock absorber? Tom AMCA#381

Congratulations. ! I put a couple of small o-rings on my petcock stems over 30 years ago to stop leaks. They have not leaked since. Tom

Good pictures! The Nazi's changed signs in areas they had been through so they could not be relied on as being correct. Maps with landmarks marked were the only reliable way to navigate. Tom

I believe it is from 1948. I have the race program for that year. Number 166 is listed as Howard Hardy from Chattanooga, Tenn. on an Aerial. Tom

Recently I posted an ad on the AMCA wanted section looking for a 32-34 Chief rear fender. I got 3 different emails from England and all of them had the fender I needed. I was to send the money by...

5 years ago I saw a photo of what looked like an XS in a bamboo shack somewhere in Malaysia. Apparently appempts were being made to retrieve it and bring it back but I have not heard anything since....

I believe 1912 was the first year Indian used a front fender tip. These are possibly 1911 or earlier models. Tom

Rich: I was mistaken. My Indian timing chest does have numbers on the gears. My Waverley one does not. The case is almost identical to the Indian one. I assume that you timed the 3 gears inside...

I think the dots should be lined up on the gears and not the numbers. I don't remember seeing numbers on my gears. Tom #381

I have the program for the June 28 1914 Minneapolis-St Paul motordrome, the Sept 26 1914 Omaha motordrome and the opening program for the new Toronto Ontario motordrome on May 23 1914. Interesting...

I understand that Jim was broadsided by a drunk in a car or truck who ran a stop sign. Will miss you Jim.

My original 1916 model K Indian has the original grey tires on it. Tom #381

Fred: I must admit the telo-fork Chief rides better than the four and the acceleration is certainly much quicker. The engine on the Chief is much noisier (like a flathead Harley) than a four and I...

Congratulations on your first ride on your 53. I had my first ride ever on my only Chief this summer. I had never ridden a Chief before. It is also a 53. I was going to change the backward Indian...

I found an original neck thanks to this forum. My frame will be coming together shortly. Tom #381

I have had a couple of old photos of this tricycle for a long time and could never find out what it was. Now I know. This picture was taken in front of the Parliament building In Ottawa Ontario,...

Complete disassembled 1938 U engine , with all original parts. Perfect matching cases with good numbers. Nice cylinders honed .010 over with new pistons and valves. Iron heads and M51 carb. ...

Stan: I did not proof read my reply. The exhaust clearance for the late model exhaust valves should be .006 not .004. Tom

Stan: On early and late fours turn motor over until #4 intake is open. Adjust #1 intake valve. Turn motor over again until #1 intake is open. Adjust #4 intake. Turn over until #3 intake is open...
