[copiecat]

Hello,
I look for information on the saddle models of women TORNADO
1959. I began restoring it, and I can not find photos or
references on this play.
I create the text of Illustrator after an image found on the forum.
Thank you

Hi, I'm going to repaint the same, I am currently looking for a person PINSTREPING and information on the saddle for this model ... All this after finishing the restoration of a WASP 1959 (soon to close)

 

[letutt]

where is your favorite place to look for tanks? and did just about every bike come with a tank or was it more of an aftermarket option?

Mine is Delux, so is supose to have a tank not easy to find.
I am not painting the bike it has nice red paint underneath.
White white stripes under. Missing the light also. I have a 20 Tornado to trade for and parts for this bike.

In 59, two women were sold with the name "Tornado", the Deluxe and
simpler version (mine) apparently option.
Same for men. On the "deluxe" series of lamps are mounted on the
front fender, it's have two brace, a luggage in the back and truss
rod.

I want make the same... more easy to find parts.
