darkrider Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 probably a novice question, but i'm a novice ass-hack anyway i just seen a pic of a 97 harley davidson (heritage classic?) with the front fender light that looks similiar to our indians. did they do this back in the day like the old indians did? and if so, who did it first? tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Resort Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I did not look to hard but it appears that Harley had them in 1934 Indian had them in 1936 Either one may have had them earlier ... and it could very well have started with another brand altogether. How is that for not giving you an answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkrider Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 X2 on the harley and lady. both very nice looking. well dang! i've done some google image searching on pre-36 indians, and i'm not seeing anything with a front fender light i guess harley beat us on this one? i did come across this though http://voicebranddesign.com/1930-art-deco-henderson/ i never even new about the henderson motorcycles. and i think its very very cool! maybe a little over the top, but i'd totally sport one something else i just learned is that indians had shaft drive available on their army bikes during ww2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkrider Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) no, didn't know there was a "merge" or anything like that i'm still pretty wet behind the ears. i might've read about it in a indian book i had several years ago. what i need to do is sit down and read the entire history on indian. its kind of fun making a fool out've myself in the meantime though, lol! i was only into the freestyle stuff, never got into any bmx. i had a massive 12' half pipe in my back yard. those where the days and what are the chances you have "rad" on dvd? lol Edited December 27, 2010 by darkrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
