Hey Rick, Check out his other stuff. Near perfect tank and 2 decals $750. Headlight $750. For that kind of money I'd sell out. Bob

Well, someone has bid on the gas tank.  If this is where the market is headed, I’m going to part out my bikes and retire! Lol

Breather is a reproduction.  Correct?  And unless the pic is just warped somehow that tank looks like a Spitfire tank.

I’m not sure about the tank, but I think it is a servi-cycle tank, but we would need a picture with a ruler to be sure. 

I believe that is an original air cleaner, as Wayne’s  reproductions are cast thicker.  Jim’s reproduction is made in two parts, with a piece of tube pressed onto an end casting, if I remember correctly.

I don’t think so. I think the originals were die cast.
