1950 Indian Warrior

In an attempt to compete with the British imports, Indian embarked on an ambitious and expensive program to design and produce a line of entirely new models. The warriors were parallel twins of 500cc capacity, and the Arrows 250cc singles, half of the twin. Hastily rushed into production before the bugs were sorted out, they were a disaster, and eventually crippled the company.

In an attempt to boost slow sales, Indian designed this Ski bolt-on conversion that would allow you to operate the machine in the winter season. The "optional" rear tractor tire was a necessity if you wanted forward motion. It is not known how many of these its were sold or how successful they were.
