What kind of bike is this?

tonya:
I was thinking about fixing this bike up but I can't find any markings or numbers on it saying what it is. The tire tubes say simplex and there is a metal piece on top talking about laying it down on side to get extra gas but that's about it. I don't know much about motor bikes so anything info would be appreciated. Thanks

Ricks:
Welcome Tonya!  That is around a 1945-1948 Simplex Servi-Cycle.  On these early years, the motor has the number, which would give the exact year.  Being that this bike is missing so many parts, it would not be economically feasible to restore to stock.  It is, on the other hand, a perfect candidate for a more modern motor and drive train.  Look around in the non-original engine section of this website and you will see many bike with Honda gx200 and clone motors on them.

Welcome Tonya, and like Rick said unless you have a big box of parts go with a honda. Also go with the GC not gx it will look more like it should, upright compared to a laydown motor. I'm all for vertical motors.  8)

Looks like a straight up 1948.  I was told the 48 is the only one with the wide frame support.  Plus it as the hole for the flywheel puller to bolt to.
