Title: what do I call this creation?????
Post by: Dave Beck on May 19, 2019, 04:47:39 PM: I have thought of a few names... hummer plex, simpleharley, hummer servi-cycle.

Just finished putting a Harley hummer 125 engine in my 1953 simplex. not super powerful, but with the 3 speed transmission, it will go. Was a lot of work to change it over but now I have something I can actually ride.

I'm certain I'll stop by to meet you soon. I still believe the 125 cc Hummer was the best choice for your Simplex though the large Hummer engine would really push you along; a lot of pressure would be placed on the hub bearings and the single rear brake isn't up to the task of handling highway speeds. The 125cc engine is great and your bike is perfect!
