1949 Indian vertical twin parts

[gettingold]

   I have had a 1949 Indian vertical twin Model 249 basket case sitting in the rafters for years. Dragged it out a couple of weeks ago and started to look it over, kinda a neat bike so I am going to put it together. Does anyone know of a any sources for parts and info on this model, besides E-Bay. Looks like I will be needing mostly small items like gaskets, suspension springs, etc. Any info would be appreciated.

Try the Indian Owners and Riders group. Mostly Chiefs but verticals get mentioned often too.

There was a fairly active Yahoo Group for these.
I think the Facebook group has taken over, since Yahoo bailed out of groups.

There are still a lot of these about when you take stock.
Inc some suppliers of parts.
