1911 Zenith Gradua

A project that I bought a few years ago but am just not going to get to. Potetnially the earliest Zenith Gradua around. What you see is what you get.

This is the last year with a flat top petrol tank. From 1912 the top of the tank dropped down to the seat.

JAP 770cc V twin with matching cases, crank, pistons, & cams. An original engine rather than collection of parts. Circa 1911 or 1912 with external decompressors that JAP stopped using after 1912. Needs a carburettor, & the external timing cover that houses the chain drive to the magneto, unless you want an exposed magneto chain like the racing bikes.

Bosch 50 degree V twin magneto.

Original Zenith handlebars.

Front wheel

Rear wheel has wrong size rim. A second hub is included complete with axle.

Valanced front guard. Not original but did come off a single cylinder Zenith.

A very unique bike and when finished, youll never see one like this.

NB: Final couple of photos show a later model of what it could look like. I cant find any pictures of this bike as very early bike.
