Can anyone tel me the make, model and year of this bike?

I think it could be an Indian Chief form the early 50s but that is just a guess.

I wish the pic was a bit clearer. From what i can make out it looks like a late 40's Hardley Ableson knucklehead with a suicide shift.

Injins had the Indian head fender light and the skirting was different.

I would say it's a Harley Panhead as it has a glide front end. They started building Pans about 47 or 48 and the Glide front end was started in 49 and they were rigid frames till 57.

Thank you for your help, I was using Google but they all start looking alike.

Definately not a pan head. Think earlier.

1949-1951 Model FL Panhead.

The Hydra Glide front end came out in 1949, along with those specific fenders, front brake, and a lot of the other details. That model with a hand shift was dropped at the beginning of '52.
