Re: NOS Pre War Levers purchase, are they original

Michiel, you do realise that about 95% of the population wouldn't regard playing around with molten metals as 'safe' ?

I think anyone nutty enough to play around with 75 year old motorcycles has got to be less than 5% of the population!

Hi Stuart,

I think the 'safest' solution for a mirror would be something like this;

Hi Sven

Yes something like that looks the biz, I have checked and by law I only need one rear mirror so the right hand side it is.

Dear All

The guy I bought the levers off has informed me that he had a full unopened box of 12 sets of levers. He has sold 5 sets to another person and one to me, He still has 6 NOS sets left, If anyone would be interested let me know and I will see if they are still available, by the time there is postage to me and I add a bit on top I would pass them on for 250 pounds a set excluding postage.

Regards

Stuart

Hi Stuart

Could you ask him for a picture of the box please, it may help to date them.

I recently bought this mirror. It looks the part and is very well made.

It's an ebay add Jan if you want to ask the seller?

Could also be an S or SF but the front wheel looks bigger than 19" to me and of course the ally/stainless front guard is an afterthought. Ron

['but the front wheel looks bigger than 19" to me and of course the ally/stainless front guard is an afterthought.']

Possible 20" front wheel?..Or maybe a 21" with the bike done as a competition bike...that would explain the mudguard as well!..Or maybe he just likes it like that...Ian

P.S...Time for a new thread?....Ian

Just checked the other eBay pictures, that's a rare 1939 aluminium cylinder Bullet!
