How about a forum for accessories.

[ihrescue]

I am often captivated by the accessories I see in pics of old motorcycles and of course the parts I would like a better look at are obscured by something or someone. At the moment I am trying to find pics of old dealer plate frames and am only able to find a few. Anyhow it would be interesting to see accessories for antique motorcycles in one place whether they be factory, aftermarket or homebuilt.
thanks for listening

I agree this is a good suggestion and will pursue it to see if we can get it going.

I'm only a student, Ka3acmah!

(Although I am also a conservator and curator of such oddities.)

Back to accessories, the two on the right were Dr. Grabows. Pity the 'flames don't show on the Indian knob.

Pity also that the compass always points at the motor.

The scary part, Craig,..

Is that it ran well enough to wear into the bore.

Here is a couple of accessories from an old St. Louis Co. John Ballak was in his early '90's when we used to go there in the early 1970's.CIMG1323.JPGCIMG1321.JPGCIMG1322.JPGCIMG1325.JPGCIMG1332.jpg

This is a good start, there are little stashes of motorcycling history hidden all over that the rest of us would like to see, could I see a better pic of the parts flyer?

I bought a '37-'39 UL cam cover from him and he pulled out a 1950's H-D catalog and charged the price from the catalog. He took me upstairs so that I could pick the cam cover out of a wooden bin full of used covers. He was a Henderson dealer in the teens and twenties, so there were NOS Henderson frames hanging from the rafters and 4 cylinder motors on the floor.
