Any guesses on the what the twin is?

Original 74 Z1 set of pipes, seat and some Kat extras and set of 33 smothebores

I think this is easy. The motor looks like a 45ci Harley flathead, probably from the war (you know, the big war.) It could be Indian, but I go with H-D. It looks like a sidecar rig sans sidecar, but the early springer front end and plunger frame look suspiciously Indian.

What do I win for playing?

Eric says you have a Vincent Black Lightning.

I see fork similarities with the front fork, but the rear look like an Amen Savior stye.

The suspension is wrong.

Looks like a 1946 Indian Chief.

This Feb. I did some elec. work for a guy who had one in his basement, I fixed his display lights.
It was AAA mint restored, but set up for a left hander. Yes he did ride it back in the 1990s, and once from Col to Chicago.

Indian, early 1940's but not sure what year.

Similar frame and front suspension as the one below but inline Vee twin, not sure what this one is called

What do you know? It's not a Vincent ........

 

[Guest]

It is a mutt.

Possible Vincent front suspension
.

Amen frame.

Indian engine.

Either way you have the making of a cool bobber. You can send it my way if it's not your cup of tea.:encouragement:

The suspension is wrong.

Suspension is correct the front wheel is not but it came with the original. All validated from a veteran source

Sweet, I didn't see an image like that in my searches. That will be a cool project.

I meant the rear suspension was wrong for a Vincent. They had something similar to Yamaha's early Monoshock, but with two little shocks sitting together up under the seat.
