Agree. My buddy down South is looking to buy one. The shipping cost to him is always the deal breaker.

I'm going to put on a Klaxon on my Simplex.

This one was at Denton, NC swap for $3200 and supposedly ran. I thought about it but there is some question of reliability with these and I have enough stuff to keep running! The guy is from Ohio so maybe you see it at Portland? V/r Shawn

That bike is on marketplace right now for $4750

I recently bought two early 1940's carcasses to bring back to life. I'm buying hard to find parts from guys throughout the Country. Also, Wayne down in Alabama has the good reproduction items.
I'll post up on this thread as I move forward.

Hi Mike.
I just bought a ‘48 with no tank or engine today in s. Carolina. My buddy lives in N. Carolina and is acquiring it for me. I likely won’t have it until spring.
I know next to nothing about these bikes but I fell in love with the look of it.
The information I did access lead me to believe these are, for all intents and purposes, motorized bicycles, as the wheels are supposed to be 26 x 2.125(?).
in your opinion are these motorcycles or motorbikes?
Thanks for posting Wayne’s number.
I contacted him and he has a tank and fender that I need.
I’m going to outfit it with a 212 clone.
How is your project coming along?
Do you know of others on the CABE that have these bikes?
Thanks for sharing.
I look forward to posting my progress here.
Jamie
