CK253

CK253 Rear stand only for Harley 1912 - 1916 singles and twins.

Listed new in 1912 as a spare part at $2.00 but by October 1923 was $2.50.

I just paid $400 plus shipping for this repop stand.  I have compared it to an original I have on a '15 and I have another on a '13.  The form it's made out of is quite difficult to copy and the alignment angles need some work.  The sides need to be filled with shaped bar but it has been made well and isn't covered in MIG or TIG welds like so many parts are these days.  Nice part.

Mag-dyno

Rarer than hen's teeth.  Magneto-dynamo for 1915 and 1916 Electric models.

Will fit some later versions as well.  Has 45 mm shaft height like the Bosch ZEV.

It's a very interesting part but didn't last for long.

Wiring tidy up.

Nightmare wiring in the Hippy Indian.

Nice little wiring loom from Moen at IPE in Denmark.

You can also see the left hand shifter installed now.

1948 Hippy Indian

I've got the Indian in the workshop now.  Bought as a runner a month ago but you know the story.  

She won't need much though, a re-wire, new sealed beam and some bulbs, swap the gas and timing controls over and then fit a left hand shifter.

Indian Chiefs - I love em.  

1913 all blinged up.

All blinged up but it's not easy finding era correct parts like these.

Can't fault the finish on the headlamp, great Handphone horn and fully connected Prestolite gas cylinder for the lights.

A better view of the Prestolite and the brass head Corbin speedometer. 

Rack is correct for 16 and later but not 13.  The length needed to be altered to make it fit.

Very useful for rain gear and spare fuel; the tank only holds one gallon (UK).

Very rare Fidelity rear gas light but I need to do a better job with the number plate.

Super rare A-K front wheel lock.  Era correct, I've never seen another one.

Perfect matching tax disc holder came of a 1914 Triumph.

JD rear band brake

I keep seeing this JD band brake on US eBay.  Its a nice part and they don't come up often but at $250 all in, it might just sit on the shelf forever.  I've seen better for less money and it needs relining and some repair.

But it is a nice part........

Thor rear hub

This is the rear hub on my 1913 Harley.  

Its by Thor, has a coaster brake inside the hub and a clutch by Freewheel.

All the parts on the far side are the Corbin speedometer ring gear and fittings.

And this is a pattern copy of the same part.  It will go on my 12 twin.  It's almost a complete unit.  I just need to make a couple of spacers and sort out a cover for the oiler.
