Jones 50 mph speedometer

Lovely rare teens 50 mph Jones speedometer came on the 8X but its another job that needs doing.
Luckily the speedo head doesn’t need repair but the cable does.  It’s fiddly but should be repairable otherwise I will need to fashion a complete new cable and then attach the ends.
 
 

It really is a lovely part.  But again I have a spare so the owner won’t need to worry about speeding tickets!

Persons seat repair

I just got this 12 single in.  The seat is torn and needs repairing.  I have a spare; exactly the same barring the name tag, so the bike will still be ride-able.  It shouldn’t take long after I get the patch sorted.

 
 

A patch cut out to support the centre and then cut to expose the diamonds down the spine.  Then glued to join the split and attach the patch, job done.

 

1913 parts help wanted

I got this message from Denny who is looking for some parts, maybe someone can help.

Hi Ian, I am searching for parts for my 1913 Harley Single belt
drive. I am searching for a usable rear wheel assy and right side
gas tank. I am not restoring this bike just getting it driving again, so the parts don’t have to be in real good shape just usable or repairable. My bike has no paint at all and very little nickel left and I only plan to oil it to preserve it not a full restore so new parts will not look right with the rest of the finish. may have to buy
new and try to rust the new parts.
Maybe someone knows a source. Thank You for the help!
