      Here's one I built about 8 years ago when I was living in California. Wish I still had it.

        Nice find that AJS.  My first bike was 1950 AJS 16MS, which is about the same bike you're getting.

        You can get parts from England, and possibly also there are suppliers in States also. (Matchless is same bike, different name)

          Thanks G, Goldtop and of course our bike specialist IJ! It may even be a 500cc, I've been looking at sites online
          and after seeing it briefly back in Oct. of last year it looks more like a 500. I think $300.00USD is a steal, my
          friend's uncle wanted $1,500.00USD originally but I told him to pretty much piss up a rope since parts were
          hard to come by.
          Her uncle lost the title in a house fire so he needs to get a duplicate issued and he can't find the keys
          either so it'll need a whole new ignition, other than that it is complete and ran when it was parked back in
          the 80's. I'll be seeing her this week and will get some pics! 🙂

            You can't tell which one it is by looks. You gotta find out the numbers from the motor block. Get those, and I'll tell ya what it is.

            If my memory serves me right 1953 didn't have a key, just a switch you rotated in the headlamp. So, if you mean ign/light switch, just replace that with correct one.

            This might be interest to you

              That's great IJ, thanks for the link! I'm pretty sure it's a 1953 as I remember her uncle told me it was back
              in Oct. when I saw him last. I'll be able to get you the numbers from the motor block as soon as I can
              get a look at it in the daylight. I sure hope it doesn't need a key, would make things a lot easier!

              Thanks for all your help and expertise! 🙂

                                  No mids for me. Been riding that hard 3 years and the reach is perfect for my legs and I still have room under my thigh to jockey shift fast when needed.

                                  madmonday - Bad thing is that's not even half of them. If I could figure out how to stop buying bikes I'd probably have one of each of those too, lol.
