Ever heard of a Vindian?
Indian shipped a 1948 Chief rolling chassis over to England and Phil Irving stuffed a Series B engine into it. Here he is on it:
The blue one is a replica built by a crazy Aussie, the original vanished after testing. Everyone wonders if that bike could have kept Indian and Vincent alive a few more years.

Oh well, as the philosopher Don Merideth (QB of the Dallas Cowboys) once said,
