Re: Crocker Indian
That is what Crocker was doing before he made his own bikes, making the OHV conversion for Indians. There are a few of them around. Also his Speedway bikes.

Re: Crocker Indian
Used to see a Crocker OHV conversion, in the South Bay area about 20 years ago, too bad that sort of stuff is too valuable for people to ride around anymore !

Re: Crocker Indian
thanks for the shout out -- but credit for that particular image should go to Lloyd Gadd of Mostly Ironheads in Ontario. I know zilch about Indians or Crockers for that matter and wouldn't have spotted this in a million years
That said, thanks for pointing it out. I love learning new things -- and this is fascinating to me.

Re: Crocker Indian
I see you from Chicago, that's Koslow territory , another OHV conversion kit. A well known guy up in Canada has bike with Koslow kit. He also has Crocker.
