Its my bike.  If you watched the auction, you will see It didn't sell.  Although, I restored the bike, Im not a Simplex Expert.  As usual, I have a small fortune into the restoration.  My reserve was $5k.  The best I was offered was $4,100.00

What should I expect for it?  Anyone here interested?

If you look closely at the picture of the left side of the bike above, you will see that the factory muffler on the brigs WMB is nothing more than a plug with holes in it screwed into the exhaust port.  The chrome piece is a re-pop tool box meant for an old Harley.  I have attached a couple of pics of the brake system that I installed.  Also, below are links to videos of it running.  Thanks for your interest.  Its for sale if you know anyone who is interested.

These should be a better view for you.  Single speed. Tank shift.  This engine is very under-powered (1/2 HP).  I didn't realize the HP rating until it was complete.  I sized the pulley system for a top speed of 17 MPH at 3600 RPM engine speed.

I am somewhat new to Simplex over the past year.  I picked up a 1948 and am in the process of restoring it. The sheet metal is out for paint.  Can't wait to see her done!

I picked up a Simplex without an engine.  I Put an old Briggs WMB on it.  The number on the frame is 07734.  Does anyone know what year this frame is?  Any help is appreciated!
