Bullet style gearchange rubbers (as fitted to BSA Bantams) for fitting to non-ballended clutch and brake levers, as a safety feature. This was a period mod before the introduction of ballended levers (or the special plastic lever shields made in the '60's).

This is a nice quality (UK sourcsed) 7/8" handlebar exhaust valve lifter.  It is of the type normally fitted to all Norton single cylinder models (including SOHC models), and is commonly used to allow the exhaust valve to be llifted so the kickstart can be eased past compression to help starting.

Genuine 'New Old Stock' Norton U brake clips (I believe they are ex WD 16H - so would be same as 30's/40's cammy ones). 

Classic 'Halycon' Style Tax Disc Holder, this model being in Stainless Steel so it will not tarnish or rust.  

Although it is no longer a legal requirement to fit tax disc's, all historic bikes would have originally been fitted with them - so in my view, no restoration would be complete without fitting a tax disc holder - and I use this type on some of my bikes.

Update Jan 2016:  To go with these tax disc holders, I will soon be able to offer facsimile historic Tax Discs which will be tailored to include your own bike details.  I am hoping eventually to have these available for all years from the 1930's - to 1970's.  For the moment, I am able to offer 1961,1962,1972 - see photograph 3 for an example using one of my own bike details.  Please email for details if you require a facsimile tax disc 

Front Number plate, painted with a black finish.

This number plate has a sporty rake on on one side (which would be facing the rear of the bike.  However - if you prefer the symetric shape that was adoped on some bikes (i.e. the Vincent used a symetric front number plate commonly), then it is a simple job to copy the shape of the other end onto a cardboard template and then use this as a template to help cut away the 'rake' part on the other end, leaving a symetric style plate.  I have done this with one of these plates when fitting one to my Vincent Comet restoration
