Title: 1985 Eagle wagon
Post by: xtreamedrtbker on October 05, 2011, 10:47:10 PM
Got the wagon and have been driving it everyday sense. Been a get car so far. Best part, everything is working. I'm going to do a lift to it this weekend if all goes well. Got my new tires and the wheels today. The wheels were free, so I figured why not use them. Can't wait to see them on the car to see if the colors will work together.

Where or where do you see an Indian ??? Isn't that a Harley?? If that's an Indian , it must be the re-make.Wanna see a real Indian or 2 or 3 or 4or 5 or more? : )

By the looks of it judging by the dear drop headlight and fenders it looks to be a 1999-2003 indian chief....there was a company who bought the rights to the indian name and and produced "Indians" from 99-03 I believe. They had s and s motors and styling cues similar to the origional indians. I could be wrong though...they do sell inian style fender kits for a lot of different american and japanese cruisers.

Nope, your right they did do a re-manufacture, and just my opinion , ( and slightly skewed by my tastes) but they just aren't the same. Kinda like the difference between a Suzuki SX/4 and the real deal !! lol .

hmmm on a closer look, I do see the fender you are looking at, and the head on it, didn't spot that before. Good eye Shanebo. I will have to see if I can withstand the photobucket stress and post one, or send it to you by email.
I have some from  29 - 48 in the shop right now.

Installed new rear leafs and shackles. The leafs are the heavy duty stiffer ones. I did one inch wheel spacers in the rear.
