Hi Guys,

Thanks Radek

 

Hi Radek

 

A 1948 bike will have several differences.... 7 inch front and rear brake (WW2 5 1/2 inch ) It will have a lug or mounting on the front frame downtube for sidecar mounting......the gearbox will not have low 1st and 2nd gears...it will have 1 inch Carburettor...(not a bad thing ) It will have only 3 positions on headlight switch (4 for WD ) It will not have flat gear change pedal...the carrier will not have pannier mounting lugs...There are also engine changes inside to oil pump drive but not to notice. It will have a wide alloy band to clamp primary chaincase etc etc.

hope this helps.
