Hi there I have a flying flea ,I believe it's to be 1940s exmilitary it is in need of a total rebuild and I will have to get a few bits like suspension bands and wiring also I would like to find out more about the history of the bike as I have been led to believe that it did go behind enemy lines . Also would anyone like to hazard a quest at what it may be worth in its present condition ...cheers bulldog .

Any chance of a picture? Upload to tinipic and copy/send the HTML code, (top one) sized at 640 wide.

People are on here from time to time building fleas, Seems to me its always the miller contact breakers/ignition they get stuck on..

Value is only what a person is willing to pay.

Try checking auction houses like Bonhams for past sales..

This isn't really the place for the Military Flea, you need to go to the specialist WD Motorcycles site at http://pub37.bravenet.com/forum/static/ ... =0&msgid=0 This site was originally for BSA M20s but these guys all have lots of other machines and many have Fleas, for instance there is a discussion going on about reproduction suspension rubber bands at the moment. We can't give any idea about value without pictures, not possible is it!
