Overview
This is a perfectly restored example of this fine Indian product from
WWII. This particular 1941 Indian Scout 741 was built up by Bob Stark of
Starklight Cycles, Riverside CA. The original owner brought a
New-Old-Stock 741 Scout engine (date of manufacture, 1943) to Stark
still in the wooden crate that the Army had warehoused it in. He asked
Stark to build a 741 Model Military Scout around the new engine using as
many NOS parts as possible. When the present owner purchased the bike
he was told it was approximately 15 years old at that time and the
speedometer showed only 525 miles on the engine. The present owner has
had it for several years and only ridden it a few times, on short rides.

Paint
Perfectly painted with a glossy olive drab and black trim. Not a standard military paint scheme (it’s better looking).
Sheet Metal
Excellent original metal.
Chrome
No chrome available on this model.
Mechanical
Runs great and is very reliable. This fine 1941 Indian Scout 741 has safely cruised Pacific Coast Highway in SoCal on nice Sunday afternoons. The original handlebar will go as additional equipment with the machine. The original was replaced with a higher handlebar to clear the 6’ 3” present owner’s knees but the original could easily be but back into service.
