Coast to Coast
I think its time to start a long term build project on the 1940 Indian Sport Scout my Dad sold me this month. This project will take a few years. I'm Ok with that. My Dad is going to be building it with me. Originally, they are a 45cu in flathead engine. We will be stroking it using 74" flywheels. Going to get some more info, but a Honda XL piston has been used in these because of the higher pin height. Don't know the details yet. May have to have some built otherwise.
So a stock '40 has skirted fenders and big tanks. The idea is to have a rear fender only and might use the remaining piece of the '36 Ford sparetire cover I used on my Triumph. Dad says they used them back in the day. I need to aquire a LOT of pieces even though this thing is really complete. I 'll post some pics and will continue to do so. Here is where it is now.

The forks are VARD and are very hard to come by. The speedo is a corbin and is really nicer than the picture shows. Carb is Linkert, and one of the more desirable ones to have. The wheels are currently 16" but are supposed to be 18", which I will put back to. They will be painted with cad spokes and black hubs. i may use '36 Indian Junior Scout tanks because they are smaller and will look more cut down(Dad also has them). Don't know any of the rim or tank colors yet. Will post more when I learn more.
