1921/22 Indian/BSA Special Racers

Brant, Can you show the serial number? Does it start with letter I?

No it's an m.

 

[Archie Sturmer]

I wouldn't show the serial number on the internet for a RARE bike. It would be easier for someone to create a fake.

I would not worry about it too much, and likely would share on a collaborative site like this one, and also discourage hording of information, like on an island.

For other Westfield-built bikes, serial numbers prefixes are fairly well known; e.g., 1923-A or 1921/22-M(?).

The article that mentions one is from 22( I believe) and that's the general opinion on the dates for these. There are m coded ones and also r coded ones , possibly a b coded one. I've started to compile differences / similarities in these bikes so it would end up being a bit hard to get by the right person if someone made a fake.
