What a great looking bike.  Makes me want to hurry and get my 53 done
Hello everyone,
Glad to see someone start a new Simplex site.  The old Simplex Collectors site just quit.
I own 3 Simplex Motorcycles:1948 I just completed restoration, 1953 basket case,1956 Restored currently in a museum. I also restored a James ML and a 1954 Triumph Terrier.

Looks to me like he bought a few things , bent and welded , tapped and screwed and ended up with what you see .

I like the end product . Plain and simple .
Goes around , Comes around . :)

The exhaust is 1" std wall pipe. I made the "triangle" exhaust flange to match up to the original mount for the muffler which I removed.  I had to cut 22degree sections in the pipe and weld/grind to get the bend because it wanted to "kink" in the tubing bender.  The muffler is just a standard "small engine" muffler ($10 at NAPA) welded on where I decided to bracket it to the frame.  I had to slot the bracket hole so I could move engine back/forth to get the correct dimensions between engine/jackshaft for the CVT clutch set-up. (8-3/4" C to C)
