I have been looking for a 29 101 Scout or Chief to do the 2012 Cannonball Run. The prices are so atronomical that I may have to rethink the whole thing. I found a very good 1926 JD that has a lot of work already done on it. The Harley has a 61 inch motor as opposed to the 45 Scout. The Chief has a 74 inch motor but from what I have read they have a lot of vibration. Even Du-Pont said the Harley was smoother than the Indian and he was the president of Indian !
We'll see. The trip is going to be very expensive even with a $15K dollar bike let alone paying $25-35K for just the motorcycle.
