Welcome to members of The Girder Club
Home of original vintage motorcycle spare parts for The Girder Club Members. Thanks for visiting The Timing Chest.
Old Classic, Vintage and Veteran motorcycles have been a passion of mine for many years. Through my interest in older motorcycles, I have made some great friends all over the globe. Motorcycling is both a passion and a community.
Vintage motorcycles and rare parts are my main interest. I keep some spares back for my own small collection of vintage, veteran and classic motorcycles. If I have any to spare, I offer them on here.
I hope you find it easy to see what you need on here. To help, I have created several ways to access the vintage motorcycle spares.
SEARCH parts by:
- Era (veteran, vintage, prewar, WD, postwar etc),
- Type of part (carb, engine, fuel tank etc) or
- Brand of maker.
Occasionally, I decide to make space for a new addition and offer some of my vintage motorcycles for sale. If any are available they will be on the Bikes for sale page.
If you need a particular part, just let me know the part number and I will keep an eye out for you. Ideally, let me have a picture of the part.
You can get in touch on the CONTACT page. Below this are the more regularly search brands. For anything else, it’s always worth sending me a message.
