1953 James
« on: April 17, 2010, 08:11:13 PM »
Hello

Im new to the forum so hello to everyone, I have recently bought a 1953 James cadet J5, its in boxes. Ive always wanted to own a James as my dad had one, so Im going to rebuild one and hopefully he can watch (carefully) and hopefully enjoy my progress.

To that end I wondered if anyone knows of anywhere where I can buy spares for this motorcycle please, as Im sure I am going to need quite a few items along the way.

Many thanks in advance.

Willy...........

Sorry, I don't know where you would get parts for a James, although parts for Villiers engines shouldn't be too difficult to find.
