Details on the Bike
The bike sits on new period correct Dunlop tires mounted on new chrome rims, and abounds in fresh paint, chrome, and polished alloy. The paintwork is outstanding and the guys at L&L Classic Cycle in Hubbard, Ohio, outdid themselves on this one. The engine and transmission were rebuilt from the crank up by Jim Wetzel in Athens, OH. Jim's work is complemented by a mag rebuilt by Lund Machine, also in Washington State, and a generator freshened up by Warren Wheeler of Ontario. Ziggy's Custom Chrome and Polishing in Irwin, PA handled most of the bright work, at an outstanding level of quality. Parts were sourced from the British Bike Connection, British Cycle Supply, Domi Racer, Georgia Cycle Depot, JRD Cycles, and Walridge Motors Limited.
