I GOT LUCKY this week .
Found a bike 5 minutes from my house . (
This NEVER Happens for me ) O.G. Paint on Tank / Fork Legs / Frame . Re-Painted and Re-Striped Fenders and Chain Guard . P.O. Added Phantom Rack and Light Assembly ( And Torpedo Light ) Chrome is OK at best . Interesting Version of a 1961 Wasp .
PLUS.............P.O. Bought a Bendix 2 speed hub , never installed it . Hub came with the bike . You could say , I was a bit more than surprised to find this so close . Timing is EVERYTHING !!!

Congrats on that cool Wasp! Got question on the serial since this one has a large head badge. Are there 5 numbers or 6 in the serial? Could it be a 1957 with the C1 five number serial since it doesn't have the small badge?
57 numbers
