Hello from PA
« on: December 20, 2020, 06:57:37 AM »
I'm taking delivery of a Project bike this week.   Glad to be here.  I might need a Simplex gas tank and the lower fork brackets that attach to the front wheel.

Taking delivery tomorrow.  Basket case.   I'll fix it up nicely with a predator 212 engine with Stage 1 or 2 kit.   I already chatted with Wayne about parts.

Anyone have fenders or a good tank for sale ?

Welcome!  If you mean the fork rockers, I probably have a few sets left.  Gas tanks are hard to find, and expensive.  They show up on eBay occasionally, but be prepared to spend $250+ for one.

Rick,

How much for fork rockers for my ride.  I think mine is a 1930's model Simplex.   I'll post some photos.

All I have is the two forks.  Nothing at the bottoms. Not my photo.  From the FB Group page.

I don't have a photo of the bottom of the forks.  The project went into storage yesterday.

Here is the top of the forks.
