I'm currently restoring a 1956 Streamliner with Bendix 2-speed rear hub. I'd like to see what others have done with their 2-speed bikes. My restoration is still in the early stages so maybe you all can give me some ideas.
Here's my bike...
I love my aviation hubs. They're nice and sturdy and the shifter locks in place nicely. I have one original on a '56 Corvette of mine and then I laced one into my girlfriend's '60 Tornado to give her an extra gear for her but still remain period correct for my sanity :lol:
I don't think I helped with your question but what kind of restoration do you have in mind? It looks like you can just pick up some nicer enamel hoops, a horn unit and the rest of the bike will clean up really well. It's a sweet, untouched survivor.
Here's my Corvette:
