Simplex Trucks / Seat info for Simplex trucks
« on: October 06, 2014, 06:38:57 PM »
The seat on my 1954 Simplex truck is identical to the seat on a 1950 Harley servi-car that i am restoring - i will post pics tomorrow but these seats are a few inches wider than the two wheeled Simplex and have 4 ribs on the bottom side rather than 3 ribs on the two wheel bikes. Even the repop single seat for harleys is the same so I am pretty sure Simplex used the same seats during that time period that the trucks were built. I will also post some measurements. just a little fyi.

Other Things Simplex / Not a Simplex but still cool!! True barn find!
« on: September 27, 2014, 02:51:51 PM »
A client just dropped this off to my shop for a top to bottom full restoration! It's a 1950 Harley Servi car that has been in the same family since 1951! The last time it was rode was 1968 my customer was 11 years old when his dad put it in the barn because it was smoking a little..46 years later!!! Here it is!! It's not a Simplex but it's still really cool!! Just wanted to share this with you guys! It's just soooo cool that we can still find neat stuff that has not seen the light of day in years!!

That is actually supposed to be a pressed in pin with a round head on it some are welded on the back side Wayne sells new ones if you need one...when a new one is installed the kickstand really clicks into position well. Here is a couple of pics of one that has some wear on it...
