1964 super sport

[kccomet]

picked this up today, tried buying it almost 20 years ago, bought it an estate sale, same family. I've always liked the violet color

Persistence pays.
That’s a beautiful bike.
Congrats!
Nice follow through.

Nice score. I believe the 63 Superior was the only other offering in Violet before the 64 SS. Glad you came up with it after all of that time. Enjoy the ride.

Super nice Jim, can’t wait to see it cleaned up!

congratulations on this excellent find!

you'll want to locate a correct stem (and bar?) for it.

fork is a low quality Akisu replacement; may take a spot of looking to find the correct one with its NERVEX Pattern Nr. 6 crown & Huret forged ends Ref. 234 & 235.

the NERVEX Pattern Nr. 6 crown was employed for the model years '64/'65/'66

perchance the same event which did in the fork damaged the stem & bar set...

when you get everything apart it might be wise to check frame alignment.

for comparison this thread shows an example which looks to be all OEM:

Sweet, love that color as well. I'm showing my ignorance, but what is that thing
