![]() ![]() Other than what I just typed I haven't any other information on the Chief except the bike and motor were rebuilt by a Harley dealership, so who knows what is right or wrong with the rebuild on the bike. It is yellow, which has no bearing on anything. ![]() It does get started twice a year, but has not been ridden since display. Now about the Indian: It has been sitting in a museum for a about the past 30 plus years. Funny thing is, he did not have the fairing nor the hard bags painted black, so they all still have the original paint on them which still looks new. I did buy the bike from the original owner, who asked to have it painted black by the dealership when he bought new. I also have access to the original sidecar, which was sold by the original owner with another bike he owned. The 1977 has 15k miles on it, the chrome looks like new and I also have the original, new take off including the sidecar, tires with about 20 miles on them. Now, I do own a set of original decals for the 1977 and the guy, whom wants to trade me the Indian, owns a set of original paint C.E. I have owned the 1977 Harley bike since 1994 and I do not want this to cloud my judgement, as well as not being able to find a direct value on this machine also plays into the judgement of my decision. ![]() I know original paint devalues a bike, but not all bikes happen to have original paint on their sheet metal, especially the now controversial, Harley C.E. I feel the same way about the values of the bikes, that is why I said if it was a standard Shovelhead that it would go based on value a lone. ![]()
