I finally finished this bike after a year. It was absolutely miserable finding parts and making them work. Theses bikes had parts changes quite often, sometimes in midyear and the finding the right part was vague to say the least. This bike belongs to a friend of mine that owned it new. Back in 1976 his Dad was at some event where the winner got two 1976 Harley SS175s. Kyles Dad bought one of the bikes from the guy that won them and took it home and gave it to him. I found it for him last year and he wanted it restored. Even though it was a sucky time restoring it I think it turned out okay. By the way, these bikes are at his garage, not mine. Mine sucks. I keep my Z1 and my K1 in there though, I can't fit them at home.

From this:









To this:















I finished this one Saturday but it wasn't a "full" resto it was in pretty good shape when I started.
1971 Indian SE74.

Very nice on both of them. That rear hub really cleans up the back wheel on that bike.
