You have rupp continental shocks on your bonanza. Notice the difference in the circled areas. Rupp shocks don’t have a flat for the bolt area and the bottom of the tube is tapered on the bonanza shocks. The rupp shocks are longer.
Your low serial number 64 would have had the 3 piece dico steel wheels like used on the dart cycle. They are easier to find than the 1 piece wheels you see on most 64 continental’s. Nice bike.
That bike is way too nice to restore in my opinion. The brake switch is built into the cable, bwm has them. I’ve got brake pucks but they are same thickness, I usually belt sand one of them to correct thickness. You can join my speedway group on Facebook...
I wonder who’s name he’s using for PayPal, Venmo, etc. I live 15 min north of Canton, Ohio. If all the people he scammed would make police reports I’m sure he would be prosecuted.
from the beginning of 72 thru 73 the 10” wheel bike were basically the same. The change to the driven clutch came at the beginning of 72 with the redesign.
later 73’s and the el Tigre frames where made to clear the Salisbury driven. The Fairbanks was replaced by the Salisbury at some point in 73 and needed the frame modified to work.
