He turned me loose in a shop full of stuff some would call junk. Motor was in a clear plastic tub in plain site I just caught a glimpse of cylinder and knew that was it. Still mulling different ideas about what to do with it. Gonna clean motor up today stick it in frame and try to understand how clutch system works. Will post up a pic of it when I get it together.

Hey Rick, just wondering if you have a pinion gear mounted to the magneto? If so, did you find the kick start assembly in the box of motor goodies?

So. if I understand correctly from the info on the attached sheet (provided by the moderator of this site), this bike would be earlier than 1945? Open question to anyone that would like to jump in.

I would have to think the bike is a '44 . No fork rebound springs . 2.5 gallon tank w/ right side fill .
I can't see where the kick stand is ...

Seems everything points to '44 .

I think you guys are wrong.  I'd say 45-47 model H.  If it was earlier, it wouldn't have the brake pedal on the right toe, it would be heel activated. To me, this is the biggest giveaway.  Plus, look at the air filter, that doesn't look like an oil bath to me.  I also notice that the transmission mounts are flat steel, whereas earlier models were tube.

With all these cues, one would have to assume that engine is correct for that frame.

If I had to pinpoint the year, I would say 1945.  The kick starter came around 1946, I believe, and was a bolt-on affair.

Thanks my 2 cents!

You're probably right , Rick .

The seat leaf spring indicates '45 to '48 :

What year was the handlebar mounting changed from the bicycle stem style to the 4 bolt mounting plate style?

According to the sheet above : 10-'47 through 9 - '48 .
