This beautiful 1941 Indian 741B, has been owned since 1970, by the
previous fastidious owner, who spent the ensuing 33 years collecting and
incorporating as many NOS (new old stock) parts as possible into the
brilliant, no expense spared restoration you see here.
This M/C goes as well as it looks, is fully roadworthy and street
legal, and would represent one of the best examples of this model. |

 Engine # GDA 143
Bored
and stroked to 740cc, the engine assembly uses an entire new bottom end,
stroked original flywheels, new oil pump, new pistons, pins, chrome rings,
new cams-subsequently reground to suit added displacement, new cam
followers, new big ss exhaust valves, big inlet valves, new valve guides
and valve springs, new barrels bored and ported for better gas flow. Front
cyl head is new; rear head does have some broken fins, to be expected on a
m/c of this vintage. Engine cases, primary and g’ box alloys are all
undamaged and have been polished, having done 30 kms since assembly. This
engine still needs running in, but is very torquey and strong. |
