After 5 years in the making and wads of cash spent I still seem to be working on this bike.
Everything is replaced with NOS on the rear wheel and it has original seat. And NOS everywhere else except for the chassis, fenders and shocks. Correctly re-done with factory OEM NOS Carlisle 4.10 x 3.50 x 6 Double Indian head tires. These tires still have the tit's on them from the factory mold and still soft and plyable rubber even though Carlisle been out of business since the 70's or so.
I tore down the Tecumseh H35 and installed a new piston and rings and fresh valves and painted the motor with correct Tecumseh factory Ivory paint - some folks call it cream - some call it almond. (I remember mine when I bought my continental custom new when I was a kid - it was ivory colored engine almost like egg shell in a way)
After years of looking I finally found the correct Rupp optional 6v OEM Rupp factory headlight and tailight system. It's about done I'm still looking for some few parts to finish up this project.
I hope you like it as much as I do...
