Wheels & Tires / Another option for tires
« on: January 17, 2021, 06:35:30 PM »
I know this subject has been beat like a rented mule. But here we go. I found a dot tire that looks very similar to 30’s or 40’s Indian motorcycle tires. Have a nice tread pattern in my opinion and would add a beefy look to a simplex. I don’t know how tight the tolerance is for tire size on a factory simplex rim so here I am sharing the tire specs compared to a simplex tire from Coker and they appear very very similar in sizing. Does anyone see a reason why this would or would not work?

Engine & Transmission / Zenith carb
« on: January 11, 2021, 06:20:31 AM »
I’ve got what appears to be a 1956 or 1957 simplex. The bike looks mostly original. I’ve been cleaning it up and inspecting everything to get it running. When I pulled the carb to clean it and make new gaskets I saw it was a different carb than I’ve seen on other simplex’s. Did any bikes come original with a zenith carb? I’ll get part numbers off carb this evening. Thanks for any info
