their chief engineer was product development chief for S&S so its a pretty strong assumption S&S will do the motors regardless of how they badge them.
I really liked this one line going back to another unrelated thread about another company it caught my attention.
"The company will focus on supplying genuine, American made, motorcycles which are beautifully designed, made of the highest quality materials, reliable and supported by a qualified dealer network"
If they are not genuine and American made they will never compete with Harley or Victory. For the cult members of Indian, it is better not to have one than to have one not made in America.
As a former Chris Craft boat owner I studied these guys over the years. I truly believe they mean exactly what they say. They are not in any way undercapitolized so lets hope it takes off. Like Triumph from England, Indian from America is cool.
