Indian Chief description

fully restored 1947 Indian Chief Motorcycle. If you are in the market for one, I doubt you will find 1 in nicer condition. I am listing this motorcycle for my neighbor Harold, since he doesn't use ebay. All of the photos were taken today, 08/29/2013 and show the bike in its current condition. He has fully restored 3 Indian motorcycles, and knows these bikes inside and out. He just sold the red 1946 Indian Chief that was listed for sale on ebay, this 1 is restored to the same high-level. Only reason for selling is that he is getting too old to ride.
