Hi. Here's another Whizzer i just finished restoring. Its a 1951 Sportsman that's completely redone. All work by myself except chroming and reupholstering the seat. Converted to flywheel ignition so it starts and runs great. Also has a 12 volt battery system for the lights mounted on the original battery mount. George Stratton

1949 Whizzer Sportsman I built from a rusty frame

Bill Via --Beckley WV

It is a 1911 Indian that lost it's original motor somewhere along the line. A Whizzer "J" series motor and system was installed in 1940's?  Has original Brooks seat and original 6 volt lightning system and a Klaxton manual push horn. Great running bike which actually performs better then the original Indian single did.

Thanks to Wyatt Empey So Cal.

Here's a Whizzer/Monark, my latest project. Iv'e owned the pre-war framed monark bike since it was new in 1945 and decided last year to add the 1948 J engine. All work by myself except the re-chroming and red pin stripes. Runs like a new bike. George Stratton
