  1. Hello All,

    I am trying to ressurect an Indiana 650, all going good so far but am unsure about 1 thing. Bike was partly dismantled when I got it and not sure if there is a swing arm bolt in it or not ?
    I know this sounds odd but cannot find any reference on what it looks like ?
    If anyone has one and wouldnt mind taking a pic I would be very gratefull.

    Thanks Ray
     
  2. I can't help, but I'm sure someone will be along in a bit that can.

    But welcome anyway, Dave :)

  5. Hi, I'm sure a link to the parts manual will help. Stein dense does not have the Indiana listed. Bevelheaven does have it listed in their ' manuals' section but I cannot get it to work. ( may be my tablet?
    Look at ducatimeccanica -it seems to work ok. indiana_56
    It differs slightly from the original pantah design (large ground hollow shaft going through the engine cases at the rear, with no connection with the frame) with there being a smaller shaft. It may or may not go through the frame as well, you will need to study the diagram longer than I did. It superficially appears similar to the cagiva elefant (Sp?) set up with a smaller shaft slightly offset from where the original pantah one was. I do have a set of elephant cases for a later project so intrigued by where the shaft does/ could go.
    Basically you are looking for a shaft about 15mm o/d not a 25mm ish tube a la pantah. Hope this is of some use.

  7. Hello, It is the same engine, any chance of a picture of the swing arm, it seems easier to see from left side.

    Thanks Ray
     
  8. Hello,

    Thanks for the info, I see the hollow tube which is clamped in the swing arm, just need to know if the is an inner shaft ?

    Thanks Ray
