It's a pretty special piece. Most of the survivors are in museums and I don't know of an example that is in running condition. That training wheel type of stand is something I built for rolling it and display purposes. It is extremely top heavy and rear weight biased. The kickstand was a joke. I have seen pics of some still highly valued examples with fins broken off of the tops of the cylinders, but this one has all fins intact and I plan to keep it that way.
It's a two stroke and the heads thread into the bore, so can be removed with a large crescent wrench on the hex head cast into them. I used to run it on two model T coils, but they are hard to hide.
