That yellow Beemer needs an under tank master cylinder if it's going to have front brakes, and an old style airbox cover. Of course you could skip the airbox altogether, even the starter if you're really manly.

the sport scout is more of a genuine bobber I think..
With at least 95% original parts although somewhat modified.
Actually, it's more of a racer. The bike have been on the track before, and the 1932 indian pony scout tanks (rare!!) was setup for racing. Gas in the left tank and oil in the right tank. Have put in an oil compartment in the right tank, so I can bring a few liters of gas in the reserve tank.
The bike was crashed and the race engine was moved to another bike.. so it's a pretty stock 1940 engine in there now. The front frame section is a genuine 1940 piece, and the rear frame is the narrow '39 which was preferred for racing. The front fork is the shorter '36 or '37, and the brake shields are off a 741. The rear fender is a 741..

Since I'm near 190cm, I find the bike to be rather small.. so I've been trying to replace it with a "sport" chief instead..which is '37-'39 chief rigid bobber with a 80" engine..
But it's too expensive to build such.. and money is much more worth than real enthusiasm...
So the sport scout have been in a near ready state, but not fully finished.

Maybe I just have to keep it and do some tuning and stuff for more comfort.. but then a rigid chief is much better for me.. and I can't have both...

That's a hard example of the genre to top. Art and History on wheels. It would very difficult for me to part with such a beautiful example.

Seek medical help first.
That bike is a keeper. Mine are just not in the same league.

They're all cool but that "Scout" is about the prettiest thing I've seen since the 8th grade.
