It's a Lauson I got off ebay, I was always intreaged by the cros flow head design, Funny how it works, by one and now I have 3 that come acros my path. I have been working on a bike to fit it on, just that I don't have all that much time to work on it. .................Curt
Thanks
The kickstarter did come today.. Got it most of the way installed..Still have to mount the little center pinion cover.. And hook the return spring up..I had to make my own shaft and mounting plate.. Looks like it is going to work great..Thanks

Well got it out and took it for around a ten minute ride up and down the block.. I am more than thrilled with the way it works..It is almost scary fast..Has take off torque that is very nice, and great power throughout.. I am guessing I only pushed to around 30MPH on the test..And it have plenty to go..
Looking forward to finishing up some stuff this week..

A simplex servi cycle is one bike I really want to build with a briggs flat head. I've always been fascinated with the floorboards and the briggs flathead is one of my all-time favorite engines (aside from the Chrysler leaning tower of power, but that wouldn't fit). One of these days I'll get my hands on one and build a commuter out of it with a high output Briggs flathead.
