Hi folk
Just thought i would do an intro!
A few weeks ago i bought an Excelsior, I have already stripped it apart. Thanks to this forum i have identified it as a 1950 model as the frame Number starts with DS.
I need a few things and was wondering if someone here can advise!
I need
A the little speedo right angle gear box that fits the brake hub.
Tank knee pads
And the little spring steel plate and knob for the clutch adjustment

I rebuilt a 197 Villiers F/Barnet a couple of years ago, got most of my help from the owners club forum which was free at the time. Good luck :D

Good luck, personally I would have given it a good clean and oily ragged it, it looks a good find.
those speedo drives come in left and right handed work out what rotation your speedo need.
you will also find they can be staggeringly expensive £75 quid is not uncommon.
Most common source are ex WD stocks so if you used 16H or M20 where you are that might be a start.
Have you considered an electonic cycle speedo? lots of vintage bikes here are using them as a way of keeping inside speed limits.
Ther eis such a thing as the British two stroke club you will find helpful.
