Simplex project

[Erwin4734!]

Brought home another Simplex. Due to the modifications the last owner did, I'll go a different route on this one. I'll try to keep the post updated on the progress.

Centered the rear wheel, made templates for the disc brakes then disassembled and the frame off to powder coating.

 

[Erwin4734!]

Some of the powder coating came in, I think it turned out pretty good. Now to start the engine rebuild.

[Erwin4734!]

Test fit the engine today.

 

[Erwin4734!]

Still waiting on chrome and the seat. Added a few additional decals, chain, brake levers and belt.

Got her wired this weekend. I used a harley amf 125 headlight, like the look . Still waiting on chrome and for the machine shop to complete the front hub. Getting there.

That thing is as cool as they come.
Nice job

Received the front forks and rim from the machine shop, they removed 4 mm from the disc mount to clear the forks. Looks pretty good. Still waiting on chrome . Completed a little more wiring. Looks like I'll add a battery because the stator just isn't strong enough to run the 12v light setup.

Ran across some photos from the powder coater

 

[Erwin4734!]

Battery box, stator, shocks restored and llong front springs back from the chrome shop. Still waiting on the small front springs.

I see your exhaust pipe incorporating stainless pipe sections. I like those, too. Less weight and thinner walls. Looks like a fun ride. Gonna turn heads! Really nice work.

I, personally do not think anybody should have more than one, until we ALL have one.
My wife teaches fifth grade, and she says that is a rule!

If that's a rule for 5th graders, then we aren't there yet.
