I am starting to rebuild a Indian brave 1953 model but with a swing frame and a double seat. Afterr seeing the chopped version i am tempted to follow suit. I would love to speak to both Mark and Stuart owners of indian Braves so that they could give me some advice on the Bike restoration.

Yup. It’s a 1951 Indian Brave, 248cc Single cylinder sidevalve. I own a pair of them…neither of which looks THAT cool. Very, very neat.

my guess: enfield’s ‘brave’; a pretty 250 cc side valve. i had a 1949 vertical
scout which looked like the ‘arrow’ but with 2 cylinders. the 440/220 cc scout/arrow model had overhead valves. (and a weak bottom end.)

Looks like very similar to the 150cc 1952 Royal Enfield Ensign ...
