Simplexes with Non-Original Engines / Simplex Honda GC190 Engine
« on: October 21, 2017, 10:47:09 AM »

Hey Guys
I have a Simplex with a Briggs slant engine mounted with a CVT clutch.  I would like to mount a Honda GC 190 engine to replace the Briggs.  I planning to mount one of
Wayne's kick starters on the GC 190. Wayne says it will fit.  I am asking anyone with knowledge on mounting the GC 190 to give me advise and guide me along the way..  I will appreciate any advise you can help me with this project.

Thanks

It was a member that purchased the bike. I do not know if he wants to be identified so I will wait until he gives me permission. Thank you for the forum.

Buy, Sell, Trade / 1953 Simplex Automatic for sale with extra parts
« on: March 22, 2014, 01:01:35 PM »
Hey Members
This my third try to post this bike. 
I have a 53 Simplex Automatic with a rebuilt engine done by Bob Kerr of Oklahoma and several extra parts for sale.  This was to be my next project, however I purchased a Simplex with a 8.5hp Briggs engine during the 2013 Christmas trip to Tn. to visit my daughter and grandchildren.  The bike for sale would be a very easy project for someone who still has a fire in the belly to restore. At 70 years old I am happy riding the bikes that I have and admiring other peoples bikes.  I am asking $2500 for the bike or the best offer considering it has a rebuilt engine and very good sheet metal.
I live 15 miles northwest of Sulphur, La in Southwest Louisiana. If I do not sell the bike in 15 days I will list it on ebay. If anyone is interested contact me on the forum and I will provide my phone#.  The buyer is responsible for all shipping expense.  I would be willing to bring the bike and put it in a Forward Air crate in Lafayette, La. if it is bought at full price. please view the photos I am posting.
Thanks
Reggie

It was 28 degrees with ice and sleet in Southwest Louisiana that they cancelled Mardi Gras in numerous small towns including Iota, La. where my band and I have been playing Cajun music every year for 15yrs.  That was the first time that ever happened in my life time.
Won"t be long it will be motorcycle riding time.
