Default Buzz Kanter's 1931 Indian 101 Scout

We are trying out a new idea here to allow everyone to post photos of you your custom or classic American motorcycle here on this forum. Please tell us a bit about the bike and show both sides if you can with good photos. We hope to pull a few of the bikes here and run them in American Iron Magazine.

I'll start it off with one of my personal motorcycles - my 1931 Indian Scout 101 (yes, I know this is a Harley forum).



This is my 1931 Indian Scout 101. The Indian Motocycle Company of Springfield, Mass made the 101 Scouts only for four years but are famous for their stunning handling and handsome good looks. This is how mine looked when I first put it back on the street a couple of years ago.


I bought this particular motorcycle about 5 years ago and spent over a year sorting it out and upgrading some of the components including adding a 12 volt electric system for better lights. The engine has been modified and hot rodded by Butch Baer, a man who has grown up literally in the Indian factory. It has a right hand throttle, left hand ignition advance/retard set up, toe/heel foot clutch and left hand shifter.


This is pretty much how the motorcycle looks lik enow. Note I have painted the crash bars and external seat springs black, added leather saddlebags and a small leather tool pouch by the headling and mounted a correct tal light to replace the one from a trailer that used ot be on the bike.

I ride this bike a lot on the street where it usually is the center of attention. I runs strong and is very dependable - especialy for a 78 year old motorcycle.

Close up of fuel tank to see detail in paint work where HD badge was.

That is a sick paint job. That had to take a few hours and a couple bucks
