Identify these bikes! / Re: What bike is that?
« on: February 15, 2023, 02:58:29 PM »
the Rixe is close, but not quite it I think. The luggage rack and headlamp brackets are different, and the engine is not as upright as in the mystery bike.

Although there were many manufacturers using the Sachs or Ilo 100cc engine in their bikes in the thirties and fourties in Europe, nearly all of them put the engine in the frame with the cylinder barrel slightly inclined forward.

I think the bike in question is a 118cc Husqvarna model 20 "angelwings" of the early fourties as in the following pictures:

it's not standard that's for sure.
wrong!

it's a standard Honda CB92 Benly front brake from the early sixties period.
certainely not a purposefully constructed race item although club racers on a budget may have used these as they were cheaper than the Cerianis, Oldanis and Fontanas

have a look here:https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/Honda_CB92_Benly_Supersport_125cc_Front_Fork_Wheel.JPG

British Bikes / Norton singles oil pump question
« on: January 02, 2014, 10:14:18 AM »
Gentlemen, I need help on this one:
Norton used for their non-ohc singles (16H, 18, 19, ES2 etc.) an oil pump that looks somehow 'mirror-inverted' to the one used later in the twins. These 'singles' pumps have for example the feed bore near the 'top' of the oil pump body and the drive pinion on the 'left' side of the body.
Did Norton later switch to pumps in their singles that look like the ones used in the twins?
Or does this only apply to the ES2/M50 Mk2 that isn't a Norton at all but an AMC hybrid?
In short - are all real Norton singles oil pumps the same? I don't have a clue...

Thanks
Andy

easiest way to tell the different barrels apart is the number and shape of the fins.
Standard 650cc Triumph is 8 fins and round
Standard 750cc Triumph is 7 fins and round
Morgo 750cc is 7 fins and angular

I wouldn`t expect the exhaust header length to be tuned for performance on this bike - but you never know! If the header pipe goes right in the seven inches without hitting or restricting something inside the silencer I would just leave it as is for the time being. Run in your bike properly first and if there is something to be desired performance-wise you can then think about experimenting with header length - although I doubt it would make too much of a difference.

this bike certainely didn`t leave the factory this way.
Engine is a 250cc C15 pre-`61; seat, rear light and side covers are late sixties; wheels (i.e. brakes), tank and front forks are 1971-on.
As for the frame - not enough is visible to put a year on it. If you are not interested in bikes yourself and you already have an offer of 1500 - my advice would be to let them have it!

must be early 30ies as it still has hand shift.
could be 250cc model 14, 350cc model 8 (or80) or 500cc model 9 (or90) - hard to tell as they look all very similar.

to me the bike looks like an Excelsior Roadmaster with the 197cc Villiers 8E engine - but I am no expert

this number would make your engine slightly older than the rest of the machine - an 197cc 8E from a 1951 or 1952 FB Falcon 54/55 model
