AJS & Matchless Owners Club

new memeber here. I have posted a pic of the bike a long time ago (2012, its been at the back of the shed all this time,i had to strip it to have a frame repair around the headstock, forks was done at the same time, engine has now been rebuilt, and gear box checked and cleaned, need to have some cables made for it ,and looking for a miller 8 inch reflector, had the dynamo redone and iam waiting for a dvr2 to come, then could get on with the wiring, centre stand needs a very long spring to work, any idea;s which one works well on this bike.will try post some pics as soon i work it out how to.

Thanks SPRIDDLER , your help was most usefull, , also had to convert the pics to a jpeg.

Hi Curt, looking good I’ve got a 1933 model 12 the big port sloper that I’m slowly working on (well 2 actually) but I’ve quite a few original parts missing.

Nice one - what I am steadily realising is that models 12 22 26 were evolving models in the 5 years before the war - different rocker boxes, tanks, ignitions, rear brake mechanisms and rear frame dropouts abound.. I have many pictures of them and 12 22 and 26 in pieces in varying states of completedness and it's most intriguing - the g3l frame was a more sophisticated thing entirely for nominally the same geometry.. thence we had the sunbeam models too, so this concept of the British motorcycle industry being slow to innovate seems to be the preserve of the post war.. but AMC of the late 1930s must have been quite confusing with so many models..
