Given the realities of the world we live in, an investment in this sort of venture would be a pretty hard sell to would-be investors. Yes, it would be grand if you could simply order a reproduction bike, accurate in all the details. But how long, or more to the point, how many reproduction...
No, not at all. I purchased it knowing full-well the tank and the bomber weren't included. The seller, who is on this forum, is a first-rate guy and gave me a great deal.

Looking to find a tank, as close to what’s pictured below. I’ve got the bike, but sadly/understandably, the seller didn’t want to part with either the tank, or the bomber.
Anybody have something similar to this tank they’re willing to sell? And, dare I ask, is anyone out there with a bomber...
It's a great bike. Sadly, the previous owner didn't want to part with the tank or the bomber on the front. Ultimately hoping someone here on The Cabe has an almost identical tank they're willing to part with.
And of course, if miracles still happen, ,maybe someone has a bomber they're willing...
Can any of you identify the tank that's on this bicycle? Is the the making on the side(s) representative of a particular brand, or just a decorative addition?

A lot of interesting points of view being expressed here. Admittedly, when I first entered into this, my intention was to do a full-on restoration/recreation of a specific bike as it would have appeared at a specific time. But having looked through so many threads/images of what others have...
And to think the young guys now would probably immediately point to those “Saving Private Ryan” props as being completely inaccurate by comparison to more-recent reproductions for today’s authentically-minded reenactors.
I have a number of friends who started-out reenacting the American Civil...
Being brand new to the hobby of vintage bikes, I value all the opinions that have been expressed with regard to my initial query. I initially set-out with the intention of obtaining a G529 bicycle thinking I could enjoy it both at home and take it with me to the various air shows and living...
Being very new to the hobby of vintage bikes, what’s the general consensus about cleaning-up a bike to “maintained, rideable, and original condition” as opposed to ”full-blown, looks like it just rolled-out the bike shop door” condition?
I’ve been enjoying the various “before & after” topics on...
Hoping to find out more about this saddle. The imprint on the leather is virtually indistinguishable. The cross piece on the frame has a hint of OD paint on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay...you raise an interesting point. Let's say I opt to leave it 'as is'. What would this bike have looked like when it rolled off the assembly line? Obviously the paint would have been pristine - looks like it was originally a dark red with white trim and pinstripes. The seat is clearly...
Yeah, exactly. A military tribute bike. Am I way off base here to think that the bike I've acquired, being dated from '44, was essentially made-up of parts that were effectively surplus as the construction of Government contract bikes was winding down; using up old stock before manufacturing...
I recently acquired what appears to be a 1944-dated Huffman Western Flyer. The forks are stamped 114. The frame is stamped H 210563. With the addition of some parts and paint, I’m thinking it could pass muster as a tribute bike. What do you guys think?
