Re: thumper

Single cylinder with dual exhuast, if that bike was built in the 30's it must have torn up the tracks in it's day.

I see those taillights in swap meets now and then, usually just the lens, but I don't know of anyone still making them. Back in the late 60's, early 70's that was a big statement to make.

Long gone. I think mid 60's they stopped production.

I think that one is either a 350 or 500cc model. Love the tail light, we used to use those back in the day. I might still have one boxed up somewhere.
