1916 Police Motorcycle

[Robertriley]

My custom police bike is finally finished and ready to roll. Custom hand made frame, fork, tank, seat, just about everything! All I need to do is add real pin stripes and in some cool text write "Police". The siren is supper loud too. Freakin COOL! Thanks Dan!

That is really nice! I would have a blast cruising that around town. A head turner for sure.

Very nice work Robert

GThis bike is awesome sauce! I am so glad you haven't given up this hobby, I still remember meeting you at my first Grange race. I have always admired your motorized bikes and vintage motorcycles. Actually, I should admit that it has been more envy than admiration! But I sure am glad you're still at it.

So this bike has the GC160 with Dan Orabana's kit to make it look like an older engine? Is Dan still building motorized bikes? I haven't seen much of his products lately, but I have always considered him the premier builder in our little niche hobby. I got to see a couple of his bikes up close at that same Grange race that I met you, and they were unbelievably well built. He was also such a cool and unassuming guy. I am glad he's still building these little bikes.

Anyway, wonderful project. I don't know if you ever get near the Los Angeles area, but I would love to figure out a way to go on a group ride that you might ride in,

Thanks for the pictures,

Gilbert

Where do you get the wheels and tires from?
Nice bike.

The wheels are workman but the rear is sewn up to a moped hub. The tires are Simplex for Coker tires. They are expensive but have amazing sidewall and run better than bicycle tires

 

[58er]

What size tire? I assume they are 26" wheels. did you build the bike, if so where did you get the tires? Thanks again

 

[Robertriley]

I picked up the tires from Coker. They are the 2.5 inch simplex ones. The 3 inch ones do not fit.
