Other Things Simplex / Title
« on: May 25, 2019, 07:34:57 AM »
I finally got a title for my '53. It took a lot of going back and forth from the DMV to the CHP. I had it on the market but took it off because so many many people were asking if it had a title, despite the listing saying it had never been registered. I also kept getting a guy asking how fast it would go, not sure what he was looking for. It is good feeling to get that done.

Buy, Sell, Trade / selling '53 automatic

I am thinking about selling my '53. I have too many projects now and need the space in my small garage. The frame and tins are powder coated, new engine from Wayne, new tires, seat from Heather's Leathers. Not sure what the value is. Located in SF Bay Area.

Just got my frame and tin back from the powder coater. Wow, it looks fantastic. Great price too. He is in the SF Bay Area. I can post his info if anyone is interested.

Wheels & Tires / Inner tubes
« on: February 12, 2017, 01:20:58 PM »
hi - I just got some new Coker tires (26x2.50) and thought I'd put some new tubes in while I am at it. I bought a pair of 26x2.125-2.75 heavy duty tubes but they are way too big (diameter). What size should I be getting?

Buy, Sell, Trade / WTB MT-1D carb
« on: December 26, 2016, 11:40:31 AM »
I'd like to find an MT-1D carb for my '53. Do these ever show up any more? Is there a reasonable facsimile that can also be used without looking way out of place?

What does the correct license bracket  for a '53 look like? Can someone post a picture?  Thanks.

Engine & Transmission / What is this
« on: November 19, 2016, 02:48:32 PM »
This piece was mounted between the carb and the block. I am guessing that it isn't a Simplex part (the carb isn't stock either) but I wonder if someone can tell me what it is and what it is supposed to do?

Introductions / New guy
« on: November 05, 2016, 07:44:07 AM »
Hi,I am new to Simplex. Back in the day I had restored a few motorcycles including a BSA Goldstar, Vincent Black Shadow (wish I'd hung on to that one) and a Norton Dominator 99. Lately I have been intrigued by the Servi-Cycle and have enjoyed following this forum. I live in the SF Bay Area. I don't own a Simplex but am keeping my eyes open.
