Simplexes with Non-Original Engines / Mini servi-v-twin?
« on: June 19, 2015, 07:29:54 AM »
I'm more of a purest... but looking at what you guys do to these bikes has got me thinking... what if you built a v-twin?
I found a sweet engine that may fit the bill, a 250cc / 16.5 HP LIFAN?

« on: June 17, 2015, 07:49:11 AM »
does anyone know why Wayne makes his repoe tail lights with two bulbs?
the original light uses one bulb (Wayne says they don't make anymore)... but I've found plenty of 1154 6v duel fillament bulbs and the like online that could work, maybe?

Introductions / Introduction
« on: June 01, 2015, 09:17:55 AM »
Hello ... What kinda bee don't sting? ... A: a NEW BEE
I've just adopted a 1947 Simplex Servi-Cycle and awaiting delivery.
I've done a Lil' homework and it seems this Site is the SH!T when it comes to saving/restoring these vintage motorcycles. I've sold of my entire collection of Erector/Gilbert toy collection and now have this bike as a new hobby.
First off I'd like to getta hold of a Simplex Servi Cycle Operation and Maintenance Manual that covers 1947 bikes.any help would be greatly appreciated. I've already purchased a copy of Gary Wollard's book and am looking for any/all information to help me save this bike to it's original glory. I tend to be a purest at heart but I will fight to the death to preserve your right to do anything you want to these motorcycles (If you so choose)... just don't ask me to co-sign it.
Semper Fi,
GaryS
