Indian 640 Canadian

Thanks, David!

The tool box on the rear fender doesn't seem to be like any other auxiliary toolbox I've seen on Indians. First, it seems to be the only one which mounts directly to the rear fender. All the others I've seen have brackets welded to them and REPLACE one of the upright rear fender brackets.

I think Robin Markey has the correct one so I'm hoping to lay my hands on it for dimension and with luck have someone make one for me.

The tanks came off eBay as a pair. The right one seems to be NOS and even the four plugs in the oil line holes were OD. The left tank even had the Indian 640 id plate on it! It had a couple of small dents but it was solid and had no rust. It's a slightly darker shade of OD than the other tank but that could be from decades of sun, use, etc. Crossed sabers are very slightly visible on that tank but no identifiable lettering.

I opted not to repaint the tanks but cleaned them and then used Caswells to line and seal them.

Does anyone have any additional photos of Indian 640s in service?
Thanks!

At long last, the 640 hit the road at Oley the other week. Ran great but had to address some exhaust leaks, fuel leaks, etc.

When I got her home and fixed those things I went ahead and mounted the toolbox and mirror.

At this point, I feel like I'm practically an authority on Canadian Army 640s!
