The list is simple provided to help others who are restoring Bantam Cubs, Tiger Cubs or indeed any other old British bike.

Handlebar Controls
|
Draganfly
Motorcycles |
Ariel specialist supplying second-hand Amal levers and twist-grips. |
Unlike other Cubs, the Bantam Cubs and Super Cubs used Amal's combined
brake-lever and twsit-grip assembly. These are now quite rare parts.
However, very similar components were used on some Ariel Arrows
and Leaders so Ariel specialists can be a good source. Draganfly
quite often have the main assemblies in stock while Silent make
replacement stainless nuts and screws. |
