Nice, it’s all there except head light. Very cool, always wondered about those grips, my 41 WF has the same grips . Thanks for sharing
Enjoy

I think that is just a coincidence, these grips would not be original.

Luckily I have a headlight.

Maybe a little bit different after taking a closer look

That's a sweet looking bike! Who would have manufactured that bike? Thanks.

Cleveland Welding Company manufacturer.

I haven't been able to work on anything the last 2 weeks after my accident. I was barely able to get it on the stand. Hopefully I can start some assembly soon.

Those are late 50s early 60s NTD grips Rolando, see them a lot on Columbia Westfield.

Thank you. I hope you're feeling better soon. Parts are looking good. Reassembly is my favorite part because next comes the riding.

Thanks for verifying that Nate . Lots of times I end up with bikes with odd little parts but refuse to change until I’m convinced otherwise
Much appreciated
