Simplexes with Non-Original Engines / Honda clone vibration
« on: July 24, 2013, 07:07:15 AM »
Wonder if the Cushman rubber engine mounts would help lessen the clone engine vibration?

Interesting thread I found on mounting these engines in a vertical position for an old school look.

Other Simplexes, such as Sportsman Senior & Jr, scooter / Re: Hi - New member from Michigan. I have a 63 Simplex Sportsman Senior & Compact
« on: February 08, 2012, 05:05:29 AM »Welcome to the group. What part of Michigan are you in?
These bikes are mentioned (and includes a photo) on page 433 of the "Standard Catalog of American Motorcycles" book. Do you know if yours had a Clinton engine or the the Villars?

Hi Mike,
I am from Adrian, MI. Both bikes originally had a Continental engine. The Compact had a 4.9hp Continental AU85 and the Senior had a 7hp Continental 1150. I found the 4.9hp engine and am still looking for the 7hp engine.

Hello,
Dave here from Michigan. I hope it is o.k. to post about the other Simplex bikes from the early 60's. I recently acquired a 63 Simplex Sportsman Senior and Compact. My plan is to restore them to original condition. Would like to hear from other owners of these models and members who have parts for them. I would like to own a Servi-Cycle model in the future. The Senior model has a 2 speed jackshaft that I have not seen on other Seniors in person and online. It looks professionally done.
