The Electrically - Equipped INDIAN
Thirteen years of motorcycle manufacturing experi
ence— of developing and perfecting noteworthy im
provements in Indian models — are embodied in the
new Indian machines for 1914.
The foresight and engineering skill which introduced such
features as the twin motor, folding footboards and the famous
cradle spring frame, have now presented to motorcycle riders
a machine fitted with high class practical electric equipment.
MOTOCYCLES
FOR 1914
All standard Indian Models for 1914 are equipped with electric
head light, electric tail light, electric signal, 2 sets storage bat
teries and rear-drive speedometer.
Such a combination of motorcycle advancement with an equip
ment, the items of which are the products of manufacturers of
highest integrity, has never before been offered to motorcycle
purchasers. The electrically equipped Indian, with its many
valuable comfort and mechanical features retained — with 38'
betterments—is an achievement which, for actual motorcycle
value is unparalleled.
Write for the new Indian Catalog. It illustrates and describes
fully the Indian features and equipment which cannot fail to
interest all prospective motorcycle purchasers.
