Hello;
Nice find, this PERSON stamped logo of the saddle is a civilian model, it must be the same as at that of the tool bag.

I know the seat frame is one of the NOS ones. I have the correct seat here at the shop. Really just got this from the frame and crash tabs!

Also is the seat pan black or OD green?

Hello;
You just have to change the leather, the colors are good!
Seat pan black!

Still need to find a seat clamp. I have a 48 spline and am working on getting brackets. Is the correct one a 50 spline?

 

[Aeropsycho]

You have a Troxel seat clamp you need this one...

The G519s had thicker brackets than civilian

Hello;
Good model G519.
It is indeed a 50 spline.

Looks like you're doing a fantastic job with the restoration, tons of great NOS parts you've been able to find. I am painfully curious though why you would pop the rivets and remove the original Airforce data plate from the bike? Will it be incorporated again when complete? In my opinion it made the frame very unique with identifiable lineage.

Hi @WarbirdPatrick

Did you complete the restoration and 'tribute' bicycles?

Any chance of seeing them?

Thanks.

Best Regards,
