Reggie's 1948 Restoration
« on: June 04, 2013, 06:10:11 PM »
Here are a few photos of my 1948 Simplex restoration.  All is original except for the throttle.  I installed a regular motorcycle throttle.  I also have a 1956 Simplex which is in a museum and a 1953 that I will probably install a 6.5 hp engine and a comet torque converter.

Hello everyone,
Glad to see someone start a new Simplex site.  The old Simplex Collectors site just quit.
