British Bikes / Tank identity ??
« on: June 20, 2018, 06:18:40 AM »
Im trying to identify parts of this bike for an artical Im scratching together .
chassis = 49 - 52- Indian scout , motor = crocker , trans = HD predate electra-glide.
fuel tank = looks brit ??
oil tank = brit ??
HD clutch = 37 tooth 2 row that requires 428-2 chain , that requires 2 row motor sprocket for 1" taper motor shaft = pre 1954 HD sprocket , tin primary case .
trans out put = HD therefore 530 rear chain
usually motor has magneto out front BUT notice there is a tail and head light ? there fore , there is power or a total loss battery strapped on but not visable thru rear wheel ?? . magneto could be replaced by gen . there was a dizzy also available for there motors , which would need a gen which was driven off stock clutch basket which this is not . it was an autolite clock wise rot.
HD usually had gen off front of motor driven by the timing gears .
motor has 2 separate oil pumps which are the copper pipes up the guts centre .
HD primary has no allowance for dynamo take off drive or pulley
under the tank theres a wire parallel to down tube
front brake lever by his elbow . no shadow of RH lever on tank = no clutch lever therefore LH foot clutch and LH hand change .
bike is resting on the kicker . right above kick spring is where clutch arm is which needs room to move forwards and backwards .
between the blue line , the rear exhaust and above the clutch arm there is a mass fairly well lit but ....possibly brit dynamo ? ......more I look its most likely the shifter drum housing / lid
Rear hub = LH sprocket drum ?? brit equivalents ?
49 scout rear axle is straight dia 1/2-20 , any brit equivalents ?
any ideas or theory , feel free to throw it in the mix , there cant be any wrong answers
