Definitely mid to late '30s, although I lack your tech skills I'm inclined to agree with Verslagen and to be honest I'm not that sure of the aesthetics, but after all it's your bike.

Not sure I will follow through with this yet.
Got it for nothing and I like having things older than me lying around the place.

I think that'll give you a weird top heavy feeling to the front wheel.

Really.

the batt is extra light.
Or are you referring to the weight of the headlight?

Also I suspect you would get sick off the headlight beam bouncing up an down all the time. Not trying to be negative, just pointing out a thought. Undecided

The Ford Popular headlamp wouldn't taper enough for your requirements.

Wrapping the pipe with some bacon might be a good smell as well? You now have 694.6 cc of fun.....and a bunch more compression.
