You might want to contact Andy McRoberts. He advertises in the club magazine, as I belive the wheel shop. His late father was very knowledgeble on them and Andy has alot of the tools and spare parts and that knowledge. He live up in Michigan, way up in Michigan. He also makes the clincher rims in whatever the spoke combination that you need. Nice guy and a hell of a craftsman. His son Brian is also involved in the business. If you cant find his number in the magazine, send me a message and Ill forward it to you. He's easier to text than call. He lives in a very remote area,NW of Midland.

Glad you found a motor Steve. I can't wait to see you work you magic!

[Tom Lovejoy]

right on, glad you made it and got to talk to Carl

[dariomotorco]

I did, thank you! That was Carl who brought his Pierce motorcycle out this year and I did in fact get the opportunity to speak with him. Thanks for the heads up.. it worked out great. Also, the Holiday Excursion is a terrific event.

the HCCA run was today in Pasadena, did you make it ? the guy was there again with his Pierce single. I got info for you, check your messages

[fouraceswes]

Email me at fouracescycle@aol.com and include your cell phone number. I will be in touch.

Pretty sure I can get you one but I don’t know what to charge you! Haha! I will check this weekend. I am helping a friend clear out a lot of early, early parts. By the way I think we already connected over a V8 manifold a couple/ few months back.

I believe the correct magneto is a “Herz” as i’ve only seen this type if mag on Pierce singles. Thanks for the help!

These are fantastic when done. I have been up close on one lately and it’s stunning. Do a little research on which magneto you need. I may be able help source one.

[dariomotorco]

Good info.. thank you!

[Tom Lovejoy]

Wonderful and good luck with it. If you get a chance check out the So Cal chapter facebook page. The IMS motorcycle show was this weekend and there was a fantastic Pierce single there, I took several photo's of it. There on the facebook page :-) Also there is a guy who rides one every year at the Pasadena HCCA run, which is coming up in Dec, he is almost always there riding it around, I would try to make it if I was you .

Wow, that's a serious project to undertake! Good for you and good luck. My suggestion is to be very patient and persistent, keep good notes and build a network. You will be surprised at what may turn up.

[dariomotorco]

Not much history unfortunately. It was pulled from a property that was getting rehabbed when it was offered to him. There was no opportunity to speak with the old owner or dig for other parts.

Nice!!!!
Did the Mass owner have any history or background details on the Pierce?
