pawelcen Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Yes Ron, I think so. Do you see from the pictures who equipped my bike in the prop stand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I've seen your pictures Pawel, but not sure what you mean by "Who equipped it" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawelcen Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Ron, I mean, is the factory built frame with a stand bolt? Or are these welds not original , in army works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 It's confusing Pawel ! If your frames are from contract C5108. Then they are earlier than mine and the later parts list which still show the clamp on field stand. I couldn't look at a weld and guess at when or where it happened. Maybe some of these earlier numbered frames were held in stock and used at a later date??? I've been straining my eyes looking at the pictures I have to see if there is a pattern. But in most pictures the field stand lug is either obscured or to fuzzy to see. However I would say that this bike from contract C7162 has a welded lug. Maybe some bikes deemed for a theater of operation were fitted with a welded lug whilst other bikes were supplied with the option to have a field stand fitted later if required........Buggered if I know?

Ron Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I would say that, that lug and the welding looks identical to the one on my 3HW which is also hollow underneath. That would lead me to believe that yours is also a factory produced example. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawelcen Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Thanks. For me it's original factory works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welbike Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Pawel, to get back to your question about the BSA, that bike was still in the British army untill 3-06-1953, when it was sold off probably in Mönchengladbach Germany, the postwar military registration number was 03-YE-93, my card gives the C number as C5212522, but this is out of sequence and it must be the number you gave, C5212599, it was probably misread when altering to the new ERM system. So I don't know if it was attached to the free Polish forces at all, but you never know! A scan of the whole Key Card (with 17 bikes on it) is available for 20 Euro's See sample card.

pawelcen Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hi Lex, thanks for the information, I will pass it on to a colleague with BSA. Has 2 pieces BSA WM20 with not matching numbers of engine. There is a 1951 plate on one engine with another number. I think the workshop repaired motorcycles and assembled them from different parts. It is important that they are functional. Do you know anything about this R.E.M.E.? Where was it located? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawelcen Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hi Gents, I have a problem with the front fork that looked good. After cleaning, you can see that his condition is very bad. Do you know any workshop that would undertake to repair it? Or you have another idea for renovation? Maybe someone has to sell such a fork for the civilian model with TL frame? Best regards.

welbike Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Too bad about the forks, a friend here is also looking for a set for his Tiger 80. About the BSA's, that workshop was in Hannover, Germany, 12 Heavy Workshop (Hanomag) circa 1946 to 1951. so probably to get the Hanomag factory started up again, they made loads of vehicles for the German army! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanomag#Military_vehicles Cheers, Lex Edited June 20, 2020 by welbike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawelcen Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Hi, finally, after 2 months, chrome and painted rims arrived. Spokes and nipples in accordance with the factory documentation came from CWC. The hubs have been refurbished and adapted to new bearings. Nobody makes old bearings models. Best regards.

pawelcen Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Hi Ron. Pictures (from you) from the Triumph factory show that the motorbikes have registration numbers painted on a plate on the front fender. There are no numbers painted on the back. They also don't have rear lights. Didn't the military bikes have numbers and lamps on the back?
