Gilson parts needed!

[scott68impala]

Hi, I'm looking for a swingarm assembly, wheels and front forks for a Gilson/ Montgomery Wards/ Allis Chalmers minibike. thanks:bowdown:

 

[steven Durham]

How about a engine less roller ?

 

[scott68impala]

Sounds great, But shipping costs are a concern. Over 2400 miles, ouch!
I'm still interested though, we'll need to check costs. Do you have a price in mind?

Hey Scott this is Paul I spoke with you the other day on the phone. There is a gilson/monkey wards on craigslist in akron, (says barn find or something like that ) Just type in mini bike into the search. Here was the gilson I redid last fall

 

[steven Durham]

Willing to ship any of the parts off the bike that you need or the whole bike . No since in shipping parts that you don't want. Price is $ 100.00 the front forks are straight but have some non factory welding on the face plate but I don't know why they are there. This frame does not have the hole under the seat for a tank mount so do some don't.

Hi Paul, thanks for the info. I got to talk to the guy about a minute before his phone died. Said to call back tomorrow when its charged. He didn't sound like he was sure 100% what brand it was:shrug:, I guess I will investigate more later. Thanks again, :thumbsup:Scott

 

[scott68impala]

Paul, just got a e-mail back on the barn find, they said it's not a Gilson or Wards. When they get a chance they were going to send a picture to me. Thanks again.

I'm still in need of Gilson / Wards fenders, both chain guards, wheels to complete my projects. Had to buy 5 frames just to get enough to build 2 rollers. Wanted to build 2 more for my girls so we could ride together.

[scott68impala]

Hey that bike looks familiar :laugh:

 

[scott68impala]

Hey Paul,
Yeah thats the bike its now Allis orange. The other bike I found on CL the very next day 3 blocks from home. I hope to have them together for the Lagrange Engine Club Show in September.

I have 3 of these Gilson/Allis bikes now and I am missing most of those same things...

 

[scott68impala]

Yeah, its discouraging. :shrug: I'm to the point of going aftermarket on some stuff. These parts have to be out there somewhere.

 

[oldsledz]

Add my name to the list of people looking for Gilson parts, a parts bike will come along sooner or latter.

 

[scott68impala]

Every parts bike I get seems to be missing the same parts. :shrug:

 

[Fat Boy]

I thought I would throw this out there as I just seen a nice chrome Speaker headlight shell on E Bay on a buy it now #260841196931 I am not looking for one :shrug::thumbsup:
