Gina, here in the US the 50's bikes are the bikes people chopped in the 60s and the sheet metal in many cases got tossed in the junk heap making it hard to find good original stuff. I still want better stuff for my 54 T-110, bought it with a long front end from the early 60s, peanut tank,wrong seat,wrong fenders, and wrong lights. I have found much of it but some is rough. Lucky the frame was never altered. The bike has matching numbers and I have rebuilt the engine and trans as well as sand blasted and redone the frame. I have a pre-unit rear wheel but not the right one. The one I need has a key to stop the breaks from spinning not a bar. The key locates with a slot in the frame. The front and rear wheels are 54 only along with many of the parts. Most have only subtle differences like the only difference the front wheel has is there is a small raised spot where each spoke attaches the rest of the years don't have that but look the same other wise, well the rest that have the bolt on drum anyway. Like my 58 front is the same except for that. The speedo is odd too and so on. He is lucky in the respect that the 53 at least has a larger year range for parts.
