Yes markus that is inspiring. joe51, I did notice that tab for rear fender was broken off while i was tinkering with it yesterday. also the main clutch off of the motor has another sprocket to place the second chain for the 2 speed clutch.
The Brief Story: My brother and I drove into an auto junk yard looking for an OBS Ford F250 Diesel. As we were driving through, I first spotted the tail light in the garbage pile I thought it might be something I would be interested in. I told my brother to stop so we could check it out. He said "If it's not a Bonanza we don't want it." When I took a piece of roofing tin off the bike I noticed the lil indian sticker on the motor. That was the thing that got me.
I got back in the truck and told him it was a lil indian. He said "There you go, that's why it's in the garbage pile." I called the guy the next day and asked about it and he said he would send me some pictures. That's when i knew i had to have it. I couldn't believe all the parts that were on it that appeared to be original. I also thought it was cool that it had a license plate on it from 1971. (In WV it was probably someone's main mode of transportation.)
Anyway, I'll post more specific pics of the different parts and their condition soon.
I appreciate all the encouraging words from everyone.
