I think it's a 1945
« on: February 04, 2013, 04:07:11 PM »
My Simplex has the seat spring mount in FRONT of the frame cross bar. Most that I'v seen has it behind closer to the rear fender.  Any ideas of year? Thanks

I assume your talking about where the spring attaches to the frame.  The 48's also have the spring further forward that the later models.  Does your front seat mount have a "hinge", or is it all one piece that goes all the way to the steering head?

It's one piece all the way up to steering and has the handlebars without the steel plate extension.?
