Wheels & Tires / I have no clue what I need on this. Help!!
« on: September 05, 2023, 05:05:23 PM »
What is the correct size for tires and wheels on my ride.  I believe it's a Sportsman Compact.   Wrong engine on the bike.

The front tire currently is a 2.50x10 and the rear is a 5.30/4.50x6

Introductions / My Simplex #4
« on: January 30, 2023, 11:49:20 AM »
Picked up my Simplex #4 from a local buddy 2 weeks ago.  Since weather is cold over in PA, I had a decent day the other day and worked hard on cleaning off the surface rust on the frame and primed it for storage on a pallet rack.  My buddy, John is repairing my center fill gas tank.  The back loop on the tank was broken and the bolt on the front of the tank was gone leaving a hole on the front mounting side.  Also going to cleanout the tank real good and treat it with a gas tank copating I bought and used for my Whizzer Sportsman gas tank.  The product worked real well.  I need to find the can to get the name off the can if anyone has interest in the product.         And tips on a gas cap for a tank with the fill raised inside threaded spout??

Frame, Tank, Seat, Controls, Etc / Front fender braces
« on: January 03, 2023, 06:42:51 AM »
I noticed some of the Simplex front fenders have one curved fender brace.   Are they required to have a good fit and look.  I do have the fork rockers.

Not sure what year my 3 Simplex frame are.     I just want to have a good fit and look on the frontend.  I have straight flat braces.


Phtos are always welcomed.  THX

Does the full size Simplex take a standard bicycle headset??  If not.  What kind does it take that fits correctly.  I'm using a standard bicycle handlebar stem.
