I have recently picked up a Welbike, and it is pretty complete....but needs a few things. The throttle is replaced with a sixties chrome throttle, grips are wrong, and the seat and post are not correct. It pops and tries to run (found a pinhole in the float...soaking now before soldering). I would be interested in talking with other Welbike owners about these neat little machines. I found a sixties CA registration in the handlebar end! It was licensed, and classified as a "midge". Imagine a Welbike in traffic! Yow!
I have a book that lists serial numbers and tank numbers, so if you have one...or the other...I can tell you what the missing number should be. My tanks have original paint, and the numbers are very hard to see. I took a color flash picture, and the numbers showed up much stronger and clearer in the picture. The frame and tanks have always been together...according to the numbers. Looking forward to hearing from Welbike owners,
Hal
