? Sorry is this a part typed question?

How strange.........

Try again

I have a 1954 Golden Flash. Should the bike have a side stand?

Were all Flash's painted mustard/gold?

Many thanks and apologies for the part message

Side stands were an optional extra. The early swinging arm frames do not have a welded on prop stand lug.

Black was an optional colour.

Hi. It could still be a plunger in 1954, by this time, late plunger frames had the lug for a side stand already fitted.
I believe that in 54, they could be black or gold in colour.

Hi,

In your forks try a slightly thicker fork oil rather than more otherwise the extra will make an escape for freedom.
Mower shops sell a straight 30.
