it appears that 1974 and 75 were the only years..

there seems to be parts, though the one you have really wouldnt be worth bothering with.

It's probably worth noting that after the original Indian company closed it's doors in the 50's, the Indian name was used on a whole slew of different bikes through the late 60's and 70's (by a variety of "owners" who held the rights to the name). I believe most all of the "Indians" from that period were actually made by overseas companies.

thanks for the help. i did a little more research, and it is a italjet indian me100. still not completely sure on the year. not exactly sure on selling it. i have someone else kinda interest, and that is part of the reason behind this. but just to see, what would you be willing to pay. and i am waiting to no if the other person wants it or not.
