Hello everyone. I just got my first simplex (won't be my last) and I am trying to find out more about it. Based on what I found on this website it looks like it is a pre '48 frame (kickstand is on left rear), has a goose neck style handle bar (as opposed to the plate) and I don't have a number, yet alone a place for the number under the neck. (not boxed). however I have an engine number of "M13376B" , I have a gas tank that seems to match the frame (single fill on right). I have no cover on the right of the engine and I don't know if it was a kick start or push start or what? It does have an extension coming out of the frame under the right side of the engine, but no mechanism on it just a snap ring. I will post pictures of any area if requested. I got it for $600 including clean title. any help would be greatly appreciated. (title says '47 but could be wrong due to human error or year sold?)

Welcome! It sounds like an early frame with a late engine. Post a couple of pictures and we will try to help you out as much as we can. Does the frame have a transmission?
