For Sale: Gilson project..

[Eliminator]

Here is another barn find.. Gilson Allis Chalmers Wards mini bike with a briggs on it. Missing fenders, guards and rear fuel tank. Has the brake and 2 speed clutch still on jack shaft. Needs restoration as it looks like it has not run in years and needs help.. I love the wooden block under the engine to make the briggs fuel tank clear the jack shaft LoL. Cool project on a seldom seen bike.

I will take the forks???

I totally hear what your saying Tony.. It's the old Karma versus $$$ struggle in my mind. Since I mostly deal with antique motorcycles at least twice the age of most vintage minis, I have a mindset that if they have been sort of or mostly in one piece this long they should remain that way. Just a matter of me conquering mind over matter I guess LoL.

I agree but if you part it out let me know I want first crack at the forks.

I am mostly into Indians made in Springfield MA. My oldest is a 1904. Newest 1948.

 

[Frank Davis]

Thanks for the reply...Good stuff....have a few buddies into the "motocycles"....one is almost exclusive Indian fours....all fun stuff.....Frank

if you notice in my picture theres also a 41 knucklehead.
i like the knuckles and pans, the old indians are the coolest though, wish ours was a little bit later for the powerplus to be in it.
