Latest  from IPE - Only a few of the all the available parts are currently on the website; I have just about every part for most models to order or in stock.

Cam ring for Bosch D magneto. Super high quality. I have these to order for other cylinder angles too. 101 page.	Valve guides for 101 Scout are made to measure. The youngest 101 cylinder is now 82 years old, and the holes for the guides usually need resizing. These guides fit late 1925 to 1927 Scout too.	I have just one 101 kick starter left, and not sure when/if more will be made. Like with so many other parts, if you need one buy it when you can, suddenly there may be no more. Special Offers page.	Valve guides for 741 are available in STD and 0.1mm (.004") oversize to allow you to reclaim cylinders with worn guide bores. Like the 101 valve guides, these are made in Denmark from really good quality cast iron.
I don't have much for Powerplus, but here is a Powerplus pinion shaft made for a customer recently. Powerplus crank pins and reprints of the 1916-21 factory parts book also available.	Serious, high quality engine repair work is another IPE specialty that I have neglected a bit to point out. I will try to write more about this soon, but here is a primer. Email me if you need advice on any aspect of making old Indian engines as good as better than new again.	IPE makes bearing housings and rod races to custom oversizes all the time. This means you can get whatever you need to repair your cases and connecting rods. News page.	Here's a set of 1914 rods that have just been rebuilt with new rod races, shafts etc. Timing shaft, with its integral pinion, is an original that has been reground. Owner will fix pin bushings himself.

More new parts coming soon. If there is anything you want to know more about, or are not sure about, just email me.  When you look at all the goodies here, please bear in mind that IPE is just a small one-man shop, and can't have everything in stock at all times (although I try!). Also, many parts are made to order - or in small occasional batches - and may not always be available just when you want them. So it is always a good idea to plan ahead and start talking about your parts in good time before you need them. Remember; I am here to help - I care about your Indian project - if you have a problem, get in touch and we will work it out.

The IPE Racing Department - last updated May 1, 2013 Helping Indian Racers Fly the Flag  -  Testing IPE Parts and Engine Work under Racing Conditions  -  and Having Fun! The biggest news for me this year - so far - is that Land Speed Racing is set to resume in Europe after many years of absence. Pendine Sands in Wales was used for LSR from the early years of the 20th century until WW2. Thanks to the tireless work and enthusiasm of the Pendine Landspeed Racing Club real, serious, internationally sanctioned racing under SCTA rules will resume in June 2013. I really hope that having a closer-to-home alternative to Bonneville will get a bunch of European racers - Indian racers among them - going on their LSR projects. Stay tuned... (Pendine LRC also has a Facebook page if you're into that) Update May 1; there are now three Indians signed up for racing at Pendine!  Cut-off date for entries is May 6. IPE is Proud to Sponsor Grizzy's "DiXiE" Vintage Sprint Chout! Last updated (with Part 7) February 28, 2013 - and Lars Nielsen's "Salt Cracker" 741 Land Speed Racer! Salt Cracker goes to Bonneville September 2, 2011 - and, not least, Chris Ireland's "Bella" 741 Land Speed Racer! Bella goes to Bonneville August 17, 2012

 Yeah, well... IPE has SPEED parts for your Indian, and has worked on making Indians go faster, but I also have STREET parts for your Indian, and have worked on making Indians work better and last longer.

The Indians of IPE's Friends and Customers. Here are some of the pictures customers and friends (the line between the two is a bit blurred) have sent me of their Indians. If nothing else, they illustrate just how many different ways there are to build an Indian! Almost no matter what kind of Indian you have - or dream of having -  IPE can help with parts, services and advice.

If you want to send me a picture of your Indian but don't have an IPE sticker for it, just ask! :-)

Here are a few Indians IPE has been involved in recently. Original or restored-to-original Indians are beautiful and perfect and make your heart beat faster, but any Indian is cool no matter what. Click the photos below for brief stories on other ways of doing it.

741 Bobber, 37"/600cc. Engine and everything else by IPE.	1941 Chief, 80"/1300cc. Engine and parts by IPE.	101, Older restoration barn find. Gentle resurrection by IPE.
1939 Chief Bobber, 84"/1400cc engine. Built from all new parts by IPE.	741/101 Bobber, 53"/867cc. This one is now being reborn as a Land Speed Racer. Engine and custom chassis by IPE.	Chout! 101 with 74"/1200cc Chief engine. Engine and custom frame by IPE.

Note: IPE is mainly a mail order parts business, and generally doesn't do chassis work or complete bikes, although still taking on the occasional engine rebuild. But, while not directly business related, these little Indian stories might (apart from the hoped-for entertainment value) help provide a clue to what IPE is about.
