'ALLO 'ALLO


French people i need your help. I have a little 1950s Peugeot motorcycle that i have finally got round to doing something with. After much Googling i am thinking it is a 175cc type 57, around 1954/55/56. The frame number is 966557. The bore size appears to be 60mm and it has twin exhaust ports. Googling in English doesn't get me very far though and i am not sufficiently conversant in French to get past asking for beer. I have searched Ebay.fr but cannot find anyone selling new engine parts. Until i strip the motor i don't know what parts i need but if someone can give me the details of anywhere in France that specialises in Vintage Peugeots that would be a good start.
 The only cycle parts i need are a rear brake lever and a pair of footrests and brackets.
 You can mail me on tri650@live.co.uk. Your reward will be eternal gratitude, love and stickers.

DECISIONS

 
Just suppose i was a lucky chap and had £25k to spend on a bike, i could buy a MV Agusta F4RR and an older Brutale for lazy days, i could buy the best DBD34 Gold Star and a nice Super Rocket, i could import a Harley Knucklehead and have an everyday Sportster.................or i could buy this.
Not a phrase i use but i think this is a "no brainer".

BIG SISSY

 
 Chopper updates. Rear guard is an original ribbed Thunderbird front cut down to fit, sissy bar is made up from a couple i have had a while..

 
 Motor has 750 Morgo top end and now just waiting on some new alloy pushrod tubes.

 
Tank is from Lowbrow, i was always going to use an Alien but when i saw these i had to have one. It's based on a Sportster narrowed and Friso'd, looks perfect. Good service from them as always, not so good service from UK Customs.

 
I went with the original oil tank in the end as i couldn't find anything that looked better. The boys at Rock Solid Motorcycles made me a stainless neck and bronze cap which Will welded on, top job. If you want some quality parts give them a shout, they didn't win at Faro this year by accident.

More when it happens......
