This bike wasnt badged and was repainted at some point in time. I think the serial # is B67004. It has a dropkick stand and a prewar Jiffy kickstand. Any idea what it is?

That's around a 37 I believe. Later versions had the top frame tubes farther apart, to fit a tank. -Adam

Do you have an idea of what its worth as is? Would it make sense to restore or would it hurt the value?

It's a '37 for sure as I believe that was the only year that particular fork was used. The model is most commonly referred to as a Double Bar Roadster. Like Adam said, by '38 the bars were spaced out further to fit a "Bent Tank". Not that I suggest you do, but if it ends up getting parted out I would be interested in the stem if it is original to the bike.

I have one very similar to this I think its a 39 though. I'm missing the fenders and wheels though. I'd just repaint it and fix it up and ride it, since its already repainted anyways. Or maybe see if the original paint is still underneath the repaint. Awesome ride though. good luck with whatever you do

Do you think both kickstand s are original to the bike?

 

[Jarod24]

I would guess it just came with the dropstand but I'm not positive.

I love my Jiffy stands. I think the Jiffy stands were added later. I've never seen them on any brand of bike consistently. Heavy duty stands. Harley Davidson used Jiffy stands on their motorcycles. Gary
