    Reading Standard Project

    I have Reading Standard project, it has a v twin engine serial number 61162 with the magneto at the rear and a 3 speed gearbox. We think it maybe a 1916 model but can anyone out their identify it correctly. I would like to know the correct paint, Carburetor specifications and any parts book, brochures and manuals that might be obtainable.

    Cheers Daniel

    Very cool Daniel, hopefully you will get some good info here. If you have a club roster, check out Richard Morris, he has several Reading Standards. He might be able to point you in the right direction, also I would check with George Yarocki for lit and Antique motorcycle works. Bet they can help, I like Reading Standards - good luck with yours.
