Can
you help identify this Douglas?
Hello,
my name is Ariel Kulas and I live in Argentina. Can you help
me with this motorcycle? I only know about this is a DOUGLAS
1949 500cc. Please tell me the model because I don't have
idea. Thanks for your time. Goodbye.

E31
Info Wanted
Hi...
I've never had a Douglas before but I just bought an E31 in
what seems to be very original condition (or a much older
rebuild). Frame no. YF2835 (maybe not the original frame as
it appears to be stamped over another no.), Engine no. EQ2523,
Gearbox no. WG/T2601. I attach a couple of photos. The bike
was first registered 31st May 1932.
Any information on the model or particular suggestions or
advice regarding the E31 & Douglas's of this period would
be much appreciated.
Best wishes to all
Martin Heckscher U.K.

Info
on Douglas engine
Hoping
you can help me. A couple of days ago I picked up a Douglas
Motorcycle Engine. The number 57304 is stamped on the engine
case as well as Patent # 13535/1911. Does this mean it's a
1911???? The gear cover has 2 3/4H.P. ts/23 stamped into it
as well as the name Douglas.
I also found the fuel tank - good shape with all of the caps
as well as the oil primer. I'm certain they are off the same
bike.
Any info, or if you know of anybody interested in these items.
Any idea on value?

Float
for 1933 Douglas Greyhound
I have
a 1933 Douglas Greyhound. I have had her for 15 or so years.
I purchased her from a British bike dealer - I believe his
name was/is Andy Teirnan (this is from memory I have exact
details somewhere). I ride her on a regular basis.
The bike
has never left me stranded. Even though she sometimes reminds
me she can if I do not pay attention. Well one of those times
happened last week. After visiting friends, I noticed that
fuel was dripping from her. The float had several cracks in
it. Well I patched her up and we limped on home.
Being
that I have only seen two Douglas motorcycles ever - my 1933
and my neighbor's 1916 - the search is on for finding a float.
And that's how I found this site.
Here is
a picture of my Greyhound. Anyone have a float setting about,
I would appreciate a notice. Riding season only good for about
2 more months. Then I put her back in the house for the winter.
Have good
days! Rich Veldman

1928
Douglas Dirt Track Wanted
Hello
my name is Jason Cefola. I'm looking for a 1928 Douglas dirt
tracker. I'm not very familier with the models or how they
came. My grandfather was named "Reggie Pink". He
was the first to import Triumph into the US as well as all
the British models. He was one of the most successful hill
climbers and dirt riders in the States. I visited the British
Museum in the UK last week and decided to get a Douglas which
was his favorite bike.
Can you
tell me how to go about finding one and what to expect? I'm
not looking for a museum bike. I need something that runs
so I can tinker with it and really ride it. I just want to
feel what it was like to ride something like it. Any help
would be great. I will be back in the UK in November. thanks.

Douglas
knee grip details
Detailed
close up photo and/or rubbing of the Douglas knee grip pictured
to aid in creating new reproductions. These were fitted from
the mid to late twenties Douglas models. Years ago I was able
to borrow the one shown for a time as well as an original
bracket that they mount on. So though this one had perished
(more like petrified) it did provide the basic size and shape.
What I do not know is how much detail the Scotsman figure
has. It seems to be more than just a silhouette, as faint
remains of some details can still be seen. But I can not tell
is how detailed the figure was carved. I suspect it was just
some incised cuts to create a general caricature. But it also
may have been full bass relief carving. I can not really tell.
Any help appreciated. Photos would need to be very close up
and sharp, and/or high resolution to be of best use.
Thanks,
Doug.

Motorcycle
Museum of Vransko - 1925 Douglas
We have
just bought in Stafford a Douglas cc300 1925 in pretty good
condition! The problem is that we are not Douglas experts
and we don't have that much information and literature about
the famous trade-mark.
I'm sending you two not very good photos, so if you need better
ones please let me know! Anyway I also have the wheels (not
sure if original), brakes, hendelbar (replica), fueltank (original).
I'm interested in every info you can give me on the motorcycle
and if there
are some parts I can get for it.
Thank
you in advance.

Director of the Museum

Missing
Crankshaft
I am searching
for a crankshaft to suit a 1924 Douglas. It is the only part
missing from an otherwise complete bike in pieces. The owner
departed this planet and the secret of where the crankshaft
went with him.
I also need a carby to suit a 1936 Z1 Powerflow 750cc Douglas.
This has a lever choke on the carby body.
A carby cover as shown in the Douglas sales brochure for that
model would be nice too.
