Show your Davis built bicycles

One must disregard the fender braces. They were not on the fender when I got it.
The fender came with a matching rear that was not drilled for a drop stand.

I don't wish to claim that the fender belongs on a Davis bike.
I simply called it a Davis fender since Davis bikes seem to be the most common application.
I think it is Chitown who refers to these fenders as being made by the Walter Green International Stamping [Co.].

I don't think the front fender was modified from a rear fender mainly because of the indents at the fork mount location and the 45 degree edge folds at either end...

Yo .. IVO ... I call redline1968's ride a H-D 'cause it meets the architectural-criteria for being one. I stayed away from color.
In answer to your question (and one day I will learn how to use that quoting app ... sorry) ... the bicycle looks to be painted
from a color in the red family ... I don't know wha' th' hay happened ... IVO ... Dood ... I ain't Miss Cleo ... but I try ............

Good ta hear from ya, IVO !!!

Thank you.... it is correct. all the parts are hd correct including the badge hole spacing on the frame but its a project. the color on it is actually a red primer and paint? Here is a pic of the decal it's unusual in having the Harley Davidson green. Again this is a Davis frame that is identically correct for a authentic harley bike I'm building.

That's what that decal is! I noticed a faint decal on the seat tube on my Dayton but couldn't make it out.

Sorry I'm even more confused, so by project do you mean that some of the parts are not original to the bike? I thought I remembered this bike with the D-A-Y-T-O-N chain ring.

Lets talk chain rings

Recently there was s discussion on HD chainrings and "hobbing". I cant locate that thread so I'm posting here.
I'm curious about the manufacturing of the D-A-Y-T-O-N chain wheel, it looks to have the same style of cuts and bevels as the H-D ring.

In looking at the Chief chain rings, they appear to share these H-D/DAYTON manufacturing hallmarks as well. Further supporting that Davis did build the Chief bicycles.

I was thinking the same thing... how about the BBBBBBB Black Beauty chainwheel?

 

[hoofhearted]

IVO ... type in the word 'hobbed' without those little punk-chew-a-shun deelies.

BBBBBB for Brian ................
