Huffman Dayton Champion Mainliner Owners Thread

[THEGOLDENGREEK]

Makes sense to me! I just checked my 1939 and its stamped 5 9....
I'll check some others tomorrow................

Hi Flat tire here is a pic of the back of my fork . Maybe this will help you out or if any. Mine says 8 40 stamped in it. Have no clue what that means maybe the year!

8 40 would be August 1940.........I have 2 1940s and both are stamped 540, even on my lightweight model shown here

just thought this might be a good addition to this thread. we just had 5 Champion/Mainliner bikes together for a ride.
5 bikes all original, all different.
the silver red bike is a 1940 Firestone Airflex, the Black and white is a 1940 Dayton Mainliner, the red and maroon one with the headlight is a 1941 Dayton Mainliner, the red and maroon one without the light is a 1941 Huffman Champion. the one on the end was recently acquired and is missing a few parts, but is a 1940 Huffman level bike. JAF/Co brought out a project bike with one of his fibreglass tanks, but it wasn't complete.
