Can you send some pics? or let me know what your thinking on a price? you can text me at 248-413-5106, my name is ED

well, finnally moving along on my bike, the engine turned out beautiful, looks new, welded up some holes that had been drilled in the frame to jury rig the seat mount on yesterday, and ordered my tires and tubes today. next week it's off to the sand blaster with the frame, fenders, tank, & brackets, and hopefully start painting by next weekend. The plan is to have this bike on the road, or at least at the local shows by July. Then, it's time for a new project, i'm gonna try to build a modernized version of a simplex, at least what one might have looked like now-a-days. totally from scratch. wish me luck!!

Well, finally have the bike apart, ended up breaking the brake rod, going to weld some extra holes that were put in the frame up today and then off to the sandblaster tomorrow, does anyone know if the seat mount, i.e. the plate that goes from the neck to the seat is available? or should i just make one? if so should i use spring steael or just plate steel?

I have a 52, and mine does not have the inner piece, just the cover, now i am wondering if it is going to run correctly after i get the crank back in it?

Hey Mike Sal, mine has the round tube type brake pedal, not the pedal type. I wish i could get the dang clevases on the brake rod to break loose, thats all thats stopping me from removing the rear wheel now, let them soak last night and gonna give'em some heat today when i get outta work

The gas tank has one filler neck on the right side, with a fine thread cap, the engine is an "M" engine with no relief valve, the tail light is not the teardrop design i've been seeing, and the airfilter connects directly to the carb. , not the one with the intake hose that connects to the frame.  Hope someone can help me find out what year this is as i would like to get it registered in michigan
