Engine & Transmission / Single Spark Plug Cyclinder Head
« on: October 27, 2016, 10:30:06 AM »
Can anyone here explain when and what bikes Simplex used the single spark plug cylinder head vs. the dual spark plug head. I haven't seen many Simplex bikes with the single spark plug and I may have a chance to purchase a bike that has one but want to know a little more about this before proceeding. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, Vince

Did anyone here buy either of the two bikes that were sold earlier at this auction? They sold for more than I had expected.

Buy, Sell, Trade / Auction May 31, 2014

Hey guys,
Check out the bike for sale on this auction site. It appears to be a late model, very similar to my 1957 though unsure of the year. Looks to be pretty original including some of the original decals. The ignition switch in the headlight is something I haven't seen before. Hopefully some of you more knowledgeable guys will be able to pinpoint the year. I'd be interested in bidding on it if it weren't on the east coast. Rick, you you may be interested as it is not far from you.

Here you go:http://www.rapozaauctions.com/

What Year is my Bike? / I thought this was a 1952 but ?
« on: May 28, 2013, 08:31:30 PM »
I have what I thought was a 1952 Simplex (based on what appeared to be the original tank decals) but the other characteristics of the bike and the engine number appear to make the bike much older. The engine number is H4390. It is a push start and the handlebar's are the gooseneck style. The rims are similar to my 47 model and are not the wider version that I have on my 52 and 57 bikes. There is no frame number that I can find. Are there other characteristics that I could look for that would help identify the year.

Thank, Vince

Other Things Simplex / Bike Registry
« on: February 22, 2012, 08:04:45 PM »
I happen to be new to this forum having recently purchased a couple of Simplex machines. I haven't had an opportunity to interact much but that should be changing shortly. I will also be adding to the "registry" the engine numbers and in one case a frame number. I was told this last bike i purchased was a 1956 but from what I've seen on this forum it actually may be a later production model. The other bike I know is a 1947 because I have the original paperwork issued on October 25, 1947 and the engine number matches that paperwork. Here they are: 1947 - H14462E
1956? - Frame Number 16693, Engine Number M24048B
I'll post photos shortly.
