Motorcycle has official importation papers for Canadian registration OR for importation back into the USA. No expense was spared on this full restoration. Everything except what is listed below is either NOS or original equipment that was refurbished back to original. I reparkerized what ever parts needed it. All leather is original. Those saddle bags are NOS. The Thompson SMG is an original 1928A1 Savage with numbers matching receiver and frame group. Bolt and barrel have been dimilitarized. It is correct for late WW2 and matches the vintage of the bike. The seat is original and came out of a box. The scabbard is original and near flawless The ammo box is original. All the radio suppression equipment is NOS and included. The rims are NOS The extremely hard to find battery box is NOS. Skidplate is original but not pictured. Wasnt ready for pics.

Tires are Coker reproduction but the motorcycle COMES WITH NOS TIRES. Not pictured. Battery is
original but gutted to fit modern sealed battery inside. As much original paint
was saved and used as possible. Brake light switch is a modern reproduction.
A few nuts and bolts were purchased from Colony that I just couldnt find. Very
few are Colony though. Triple mag pouch is original and includes 3 – 30rd Thompson magazines. CS-90 Flag set is original M1936 Musette Bag is original Canteen is original Shovel is questionable as to its originality. M1935 Bedding roll is original and marked by original owner
from WW2 Please, if you have any questions, ask. If you could, ask as detailed a question as possible so there is no miscommunication. Thanks. Trades |
