RUDGE ULSTER 1937 IN RUNNING CONDITION,
I HAVE OWNED THIS MACHINE FOR AROUND 7 YEARS, THE V5 IS IN MY NAME.
I HAVE BEEN ASKED NUMEROUS QUESTIONS REGARDING THE BIKE, HOPEFULLY THE INFORMATION BELOW WILL MAKE THINGS A LITTLE CLEARER.
SOME TIME AGO I HAD A RUDGE SPECIALIST TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE BIKE TO SEE WHAT HE THOUGHTS WERE, THIS WAS HIS REPLY.
When dating a Rudge, remember that the model year ends on 31st July each year.
So a bike built in August 1936 will be a '37 model.
Racer Project
Frame No. 60756
Engine No. U2211
Gearbox No. 417020
Have a look at the register sheet. (AVAILABLE ONLINE) I reckon U2211 fits in there nicely and may well be the original match to the frame.
Probably about May 1937 build
U prefix on engine number means it is an Ulster engine although, the top end originally would have been a bronze head with parallel inlets and radial exhaust valves.
THIS RUDGE WAS PART OF THE Mc MANUS CLASSIC BIKE COLLECTION SOLD THROUGH BONHAMS.
CAMPAIGNED IN VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE RACING (ridden by Richard Young) UNTIL MARCH 2007. THE ONLY OTHER MODIFICATIONS FROM FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS ARE A KICKSTARTER AND VALVE LIFTER. OFFERED WITH DATING CERTIFICATE, RECENTLY MOT'D (March 2007) WITH A CURRENT V5c
