In the sale brochure it states 'finished in two shades 'James' brown lined red. The bike is the first year to have a saddle tank- the restorations of previous year that I have found appear to have browns anything between green-brown, gold brown, and khaki brown And is the top of the tank black or brown lined in red as well.

Good place to start: Bikelink. Mon Jun 05 2017 jimmychemdry at gmail.com Help needed James Ml Good day, Sorry to be a bother, I'm desperately in need of help to identify a motorcycle. I have very little information on the bike as it was stripped roughly 36 years ago. I would love to restore this bike as its been my Father's dreams for years. I was told it was a Francis Barnett year 1927 or there about. After much research I cannot find a bike to match the frame and tank. The closest I have found to this bike frame and tank was a Francis Barnett Snipe.
However I have my doubts after stumbling over 1942 James ML125. The handle bar mountings seem to be different. Frame number Ml27034 Villiers engine with the following markings. B3833 V4 539/30673 If you require any photos please just ask will be happy to send.
I know this is a long shot but I am running out of options as I have tried local and overseas clubs for information with little results. Kind Regards Jimmy South Africa The engine number prefix 539 applies to the James ML, but does not appear to apply to Francis Barnett. Compare the images of this machine with other ML 125s in the gallery shows that it's definitely an ML and the frame number confirms that also.

I am wondering if you have the contact details of the owner/restorer of the James Cadet J15 (1955) on your website? (see link below). I have inherited a James Cadet Deluxe (1951) from my deceased father and would like to talk to the restorer of the James Cadet J15 (1955) on your website for advice. Thanking you in advance. Kind Regards, Alex Cody Contact details sent That's great - I am really looking forward to this restoration job with my brother (see attached) but as noobs to this space I know we have a heck of a lot of work ahead of us. Both in terms of mapping parts suppliers, but also body work contractors, mechanical rebuilt specialists, etc, etc.
I've already started mapping out part's suppliers (many of which are understandably overseas, particularly in the UK). But it would be helpful if you could send me a few pointers on local parts suppliers and/or specialists in frames, metal work, electronics, etc for these vintage bikes I've start to look up clubs to start to plug into the brain's trust there - I am aiming to build a list of available resources in Australia as well as overseas. Do you have your finger on that type of info - or can advise where to start to look, to point me in the right direction?

When my Father was in the armed forces, he was posted abroad. All our possessions (including my Father's James) were put into storage for about 10 years until he came out of the forces in 1962 and bought a house. I was still under 16, but it was promised to me for my 16th birthday. It was kept at the back of the garage but I could not wait that long, so I attached a piece of garden hose to the exhaust pipe and the other end went out the window, to avoid evidence. Any old oil and some petrol siphoned from the family car would have to do and I enjoyed the risk of firing it up on its stand and making smells from the hot engine.
I will warn you this is a large book (368 pages) but has so much information it is worth the read. What color is your parachute 2012 epub to mobi.
When the great day came, it was ridden to a petrol station and topped up with 2-stroke. The petrol-oil ratio was 16-1, and a half-pint measure was built into the filler cap. One measure of oil per gallon of petrol was easy to do! I used it for transport to work, 16 miles each way, trundling along quiet country roads at about 20 mph.
One day, the chain freewheel seized, throwing my legs off the pedals and nearly putting me in the ditch. The chain was removed after that! On cold winter mornings, I found that once I was out in the country I could put the 'lawnmower lever' throttle control on maximum then ride it without hands on the handlebars, which allowed me to warm my hands in my pockets until something came the other way. I always thought the exposed flywheel was a bit dangerous, but it looked good when I cleaned the aluminium cover and brass rim with Brasso. The tools compartment included spares to fix a puncture and to this day, I have a James tyre lever as a souvenir. Once I had practiced enough, I took my test.
At that time, the rule was motorbikes were over 50cc and mopeds were less. As I had 98cc and two throbbing horsepower, I had a motorcycle so passing the test would let me ride a Triumph Bonneville! Before the day of the test, I went to the test centre to illustrate my strange starting procedure. An examiner came out and I did my thing; look over the shoulder, fuel on, press the decompression lever, walk quickly along the pavement until it fired, pull in the clutch and release the decompression lever. Engine now running, so check behind, swing my leg over the seat and I am ready to go.
This was approved, so I took my test the next day. Part of the test was an emergency stop, when the examiner would pop out from behind a car, put his arm out and you had to stop ASAP. As I came round a corner, I saw him squat down behind a car so I eased off in anticipation. Realising he would have known and heard what I had done, I opened the throttle again and it struggled to accelerate up a slight slope.
When he appeared, I decided to make it impressive so I used front and back brakes. After that, 2 horsepower was not enough so it was sold to a workmate and I bought an early model Triumph Cub with 150cc. When I turned 17, it was time for car driving lessons; but I learnt a lot from that James. Wed Sep 16 2009 clark-mb11 At hotmaildot com James Parts Needed 1947 122 cc 10D Villiers James Cadet?

I took them today while it was nice and sunny. I am sure some visitors would enjoy these pictures. Probably bring back memories of the 1940's etc. You can add them to your site. I sent them in Hi-Resolution.If you want any futher info regarding the bike ask. Thanks Mark Robinson New Zealand.
During 1939 these bikes were made in anticipation for ww2. The james factory was bombed in 1940 -Blown to bits. During WW2 the K17's were air dropped to soldiers and officers in the field. As they were designed as field bikes.
There main usage was to herd up troops on the field. As were coined by the soldiers etc 'The clockwork mouse'. They were also called 'Mechanical sheep' lol. There are a few 1948's around but they arent as collectable as the 1939's because the 1939's were built for the war.
Not as an afterthought in 1948. I am told mine is an officers bike. Not a ML which was primarily just for soldiers. As you can see mine is in above excellent condition and even has the original exhaust/tool kit etc.
There are a few Ive seen going for quite big money. But they have been butchered with custom paintjobs.exhausts been modified non original engines.etc Thanks Mark.
