Bonneville America Forums Forums General Motorcycle Forums Other Bikes New Indian Powerplant

Actually Brian, you're referring to the Kings Mountain NORTH Carolina production by the Stellican Limited group, which as you know were just a continuation of the last model "Power Plus"(basically still just an S&S bottom end motor with rounded cylinders and "Bottle Cap" valve covers) engine that were the Gilroy concern's last gasp measures.

And, I still say if this new Polaris-designed engine(which arguably resembles the classic Indian side-valve engines of yore more than our Hinckley-built Triumph engines do the Meriden-built Bonnies of yore) perform as well as they look(along with the rest of the bike), then Polaris might be makin' these babies for a long long time, as they appear to be a major step up and forward from either the Gilroy or the Kings Mountain offerings.
