Welcome Dan.  Go to the "introductions" section & give us a little write up about your self & what you know about your bike.  Send me a PM listing your bike number, what state you live in, your real name, and what condition the bike is in & I'll plug you into the registry.

There were a lot of changes between 48 & 49 so dating your bike may be interesting.
thanks,
Mike S

NOT SURE WHERE THE "INTRODUCTIONS"  AREA IS?  BUT HERE IS MY INFO.
IM IN CALIFORNIA, JUST PURCHASED MY FIRST SIMPLEX. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A 1948, BUT DOES NOT HAVE THE GOOSE NECK. I HAVE THE FLAT PLATE. THE ENGINE NUMBER IS H10889.  I CANNOT FIND THE FRAME NUMBER NEAR THE FRONT OF THE FRAME. MAYBE TOO MANY COATS OF PAINT. I WANT TO POST PICTURES. I NEED TO FIGURE THAT BIT OUT.

Frame numbers don't appear until about 1951.  There is a possibility someone replaced the front end.  Does your bike have the narrow or wide rims?

Please turn off the cap locks, it looks like you are yelling at us.

To post pictures, just below the reply box, click on "additional options", then were it says "Attch:"  click the "choose file" button.
