A Eclipse cycle truck hub works for the front. It's from the 30's . Walker machine makes a rear. Expensive. I've seen a fork kit.

Finding one isn't easy, you'll need the small (3/4" or so) one for the pre 15 twin. Intake manifold might be tough to find, but we can ask around. The bumps on the bottom of the barrel flanges denote if it is the big 61" motor. The earlier 50" motor had a smaller bore and didn't have the bumps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382588503505005449.post-78490236756952793112011-04-03T23:52:04.430-06:002011-04-03T23:52:04.430-06:00Timeless has a repro frame and I have head bearing...Timeless has a repro frame and I have head bearings and eccentrics.Jayavarmin ll Devarajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10035422013586302875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382588503505005449.post-69981567068007570832011-04-02T04:34:19.682-06:002011-04-02T04:34:19.682-06:00Wow, I can help you on this.

I have correct drain plug and Excelsior did make a lever clutch model but they are rare.
