Buy, Sell, Trade / Re: $17,000 ???

That bike sold for $6000 at a Barett's auction. The man who purchased it lives in Florida and bought more than that one bike during the auction. He in turn then shipped the bike to that dealer to sell for him. If you look at their website they have many desirable vehicles for sale, mostly cars. Their listing price is not firm. They are willing to take any offer to the owner (not sure what he would accept, but anything over his purchase price would be profit).

What Year is my Bike? / Re: Determing year by recognition?

I am inclined to believe that the motor was a "hold over" from 55' and originally installed on this bike, rather than was changed out at some point. Every other item appears to be original to the bike.

Are there any other distingushing features which would identify the bike as a 1956 model rather than a 1954 model? By the way the frame number is 15215 and the motor number is M17891B.

Is there a way to visually determine the Simplex year of manufacture? I was told by the seller the bike was a 1954 model however according to the registry listing the frame number appears to be within the 1956 range. I am in the process of applying for a title as I purchased the bike with a bill of sale and the year of manufacture is important. The stop light switch is on the right side top of frame and I believe I read somewhere in the forum that is a characteristic of a 1956 model. Was that the only year, or at least the first, for the switches location?
