Wanted to take a moment and share a few snaps of my completed DX Whizzer. Long story on the build and while I realize it is not 'correct' in every detail, please know that I built it with a focus on a look I was after. Shamelessly copied the colour scheme from another Caber. Much generous advice...

Looking for some advice on whether or not to install a tail lite on my Whizzer. I have the correct part but wondering what the general concensus is on installing it? Does it detract from the bike? Is power pulled from the engine magneto? Where is the correct spot to affix it?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to pose a technical question but I need some experienced help with an assembly question. FINALLY getting my Whizzer assembled. Don't have an exploded parts view so need to ask. How is the fender light lense held in place? I must ne missing some bit? All help...

I've just returned home after 6 months away on my annual pilgrimage south and in my mail was Grays Field Guide to Schwinn Head Badges. WOW. I just wanted to send Barry an expression of my appreciation for this amazing, quality publication. You are a very gifted fellow Barry. My older brother has...

These are probably dull questions but I gotta ask. Whizzer stuff. I have a forties bike and was told when I bought it that it had "the dimpled frame". What exactly is that? Second bit, it seems the springer on my bike is larger. I'm told the spokes and rims should also be beefier. My...

I apologize if this is a tiresome topic but I need some seasoned opinions as I want to get this right. I’m getting ready to address the paint on what I think is my D97E h motor Whizzer. The frame is painted black and it looks original. Could it be? If yes I’ll improve the paint rather than...

Hi All. At the suggestion of a member I am re-posting my first note to you all. Just acquired the bones of a Whizzer and am ultra excited to be in the game. So very cool. As is usually the case when I take on an 'unusual' project is to try and find out what I am working with. Saves tonnes of...

Good day all. I am an 'older' individual with a passion for restoring, owning and using vintage 'stuff'. Too many odd ball projects completed in my life to begin to list (bikes, cars, gas pumps, small airplanes and and). Currently just finished a 1980 CBX and an early Nethercutt. Today have a...
