Junior scout stroker basket up for grabs

Thought I'd put the feelers out if anyone was interested in a junior scout stroker project. As with all bikes, parts seem to stack up, so I have a spare basket sitting there. With all I have on and with my Indian waiting to be worked on I can't see me getting round to this one... It's not eating or drinking so I'm not in any rush to get rid, and there may be a few more bits to negotiate along the way...

Basket would consist of:-

Junior scout front frame section (lighter version of a 741 frame which were later  used for racing)
Rear frame section - currently plunger but could be put back to hardtail
Makings of a 750cc stroker 741 scout engine (500cc as stock) including Harley wl flywheels and rods, cases, heads, cylinders etc
Rear wheel
One tank side (I'll have to check its the left, it's better than none!)
Bars

The loose plan was to emulate Steve's sport scout and run a tele front end, and a Brit gearbox with it...

Could be interested in swaps for something interesting...

Email me if your interested for pictures /more info.

Couldnt resist!

I couldn't resist this set of bars on ebay, hopefully they should suit both the bike and me - what with my long legs !

Splitdorf Magneto - Model S

Decided to clear the decks of spare stuff I have hanging around. First to go is the 20's model S Magneto that I got a while back...

More Bits for the pile

Picked up some more parts for the Indian. its going to be a slow process getting

stuff together, and getting it at the right price! 

First up was a set of bars - they look a bit tatty, but the main castings and the 

ends for the throttle assemblies are in place. I'm pretty tall (6'5) so I need to think

about how I can make this bike ridable for me - after all they are pretty small bikes!

 Second up a chopped about rear frame section. I was thinking of reinstating 

the rear section that has had the plunger units fitted, so got this cheaper than 

I could get the repop castings for.....

Lastly I got this tank half, more a cheeky bid which won it for me, will 

probably go with the junior scout frame and spare engine when that gets

moved on...

and another

this looks a more familiar bike - I have the tanks, muddy and battery box too!

Old pics of the bike

Found a bit more about  what is now my pile of parts - Stones over in Ireland had these in his personal collection from way back when and in an earlier incarnation....


Great to get a bit of the history of the old bike...

Un-wrapping

I was Slighlty concerned when unwrapping the box and seeing one cylinder still attached - they were confirmed when I carefully picked it out. the bolts on the front were loose, and it caused this side of the cylinder to snap on the casting. Not the end of the world as I have spares, but frustrating as I will have to get it properly welded up at some point......


Head removed (bar the snapped off mount) and the engine looks well, flywheels and rods in place and moving smothly...

In all the engine looks to be in good condition. very few markings on the cases considering its age, and the join around the casings seems to be a really tight fit with no gaps!

all in all I'm one happy boy!
