Thanks for your reply markus. Its a cool bike and I would like to know for sure what I got before I go wrenching on it. Just curious if its worth while to restore it or if its just a junker, I can make a custom rod out of it (love doing it).
Anyway to know for sure what it is? Any markings that can give definitive answers?
The serial number on the goose neck is 41-10147 (last number could be a 1).
I haven't found any markings on the engine yet, it's still a big ball of dirt...
I've tried to click through the gears on the tranny to see if its a 4 or 6 speed, hard to tell.
I've went through indiandirtbikeparts.com and can't find that one bullet point that says definitively that it's a ME/MX/SE (what do all of these abbreviations stand for?).
LOL, sorry for the brain bleeding on paper!
Thanks!

The SE was a smaller frame, different tank, smaller wheels. The MX had no lights. the ME was lighted with the larger frame. If you look on the Indian site, there is a dealer sheet IIRC that shows the Vin number breakdown starting in like 1974/75 If it does not jive with any info there than that tells you it pre dates whenever that began at least.
Thats the best I can do for ya, only Indians I have worked with were the smaller italjet/indian 50cc bikes.
