1940 Indian Motorcycle Sidecar

Indian Four: Restoring a Post-War Sidecar to Pre-War Perfection

A Collector's Journey

A classic 1940 Indian Four motorcycle is a sight to behold. To complement its timeless beauty, I embarked on a quest to restore a period-correct sidecar to accompany it. However, the sidecar I acquired was missing three crucial components: the front bracket, rear bracket, and long frame.

The Importance of Original Parts

The 1940-45 Indian sidecars had long frames, while the 1946-53 models had short frames. The front bracket also needed to match the sidecar's year of manufacture. Fortunately, I discovered that either bracket would fit any 1940 Indian.

A Twist of Fate

Years ago, I stumbled across Indian motorcycles and was captivated by their distinctive design and craftsmanship. My fascination with their sidecars ensued as I pored over historical accounts and technical specifications.

The Tomahawk SE: A Modern Tribute

One standout among these sidecars is the Tomahawk SE, inspired by the Indian Princess sidecar of the 1940s. Larger than its counterparts, the Tomahawk SE boasts a sleek and spacious interior.

1940 Indian Four with Sidecar: A Collector's Dream

For classic car enthusiasts like myself, witnessing a well-preserved 1940 Indian Four with a matching sidecar is a privilege. The vehicle's elegant curves and timeless style exude a nostalgic charm.

A Passion for Preservation

As a collector, I take pride in preserving the history of these iconic machines. By diligently seeking and restoring original parts, I aim to restore this sidecar to its former glory, ensuring it remains a testament to Indian's legendary craftsmanship.
