here are some pics of my simplex senior sportsman i purchased off craigslist, it was located in talcum kentucky, i had it shipped to newhall,ca. and now plan on doing some restoration to the bike. i have a continental au10 going into it, it looks to have had some engine brackets welded in to support the briggs five horse, i also plan on reinstalling the torque convertor and finding front brake parts and hooking up the lights.

i also bought another roller located in layfayette la. which i be having shipped soon.
anyone who may have a continental engine they might sell, please pm me. thanks. james

Engine & Transmission / new guy here
« on: December 16, 2012, 06:48:57 PM »
hey everyone!
just picked up two simplex servicycles and plan on restoring them here in the near future.
both bikes are near complete and appear to be somewhere around the 50s models. pics to come as soon as i figure how to post here. been restoring minibikes for a few years and looking forward to graduating to something larger.
im in los angeles and would like to say hi to all simplex lovers everywhere. ive got many questions as im new to simplexes.
id like to start by asking if there are any simplex guys in los angeles and are there any engine gurus in my neck of the woods. i plan to go with an original engined bike and a conversion engined bike without modifications to the frame.
hope to hear from you guys soon!
