Hey guys, my Dad has a 5 stud bronze J.A.P head at home he wants to move....good fins ... seats and guides also good.... realistically what is it worth?...and dare I ask ..any takers..??

[Freakshow]

For what JAp ?

[Brian Watson]

For a 5 stud or as the old man put it  a "long stud".....so two valve (obvioulsy) speedway J.A.P 500 cc...anything else

[Freakshow]

so the first answer should have just been a 500cc speedway bike

no the first answer is as watto states its for a 5 stud long motor.jap motors have a few different motors in the sprint(speedway) series
without the engine no it is hard to tell were it first came from also there was long and short 5 stud motors
unlike jawas japs have a long racing history and development

Gents, it is head with no valves etc...but all fins intact and guides and seats are good.....It is in W.A.

[Curly3]

Thanks Watto, it's all the Alloy bit's n pieces that are hardest to get a hold of.
Sorry but I can't help you with a valuation.
Good luck, Steve

jimg1au,   you write <unlike jawas japs have a long racing history and development>  Jap started around 1930/1  with speedway engines,    the question is in what year did Jawa started to make speedway - dirtrack bikes.

Eso was a Czech motorcycle factory producing only racing machines from 1949 until 1964, when it joined Jawa. ESO was founded by a motorcycle racing driver, and made bikes in 250, 350, and 500 cc, primarily for speedway, moto-cross and ice racing.[1][2] Engines were sourced from J.A.P. during the first year, and then an engine of ESO's own after 1950, first copied from J.A.P. and later of their own design.[3] The factory produced a prototype microcar in 1959, The ESO-T-250. It had a fibreglass 2-seater body with many components from Jawa-CZ.[4]

Jim there is nothing wrong with that ESO - Jawa story,  but believe me the first Jawa speedway - dirttrack bikes are from 1933/4

"We need to see it, i did not know the speedway heads were ever in bronze,value depends whether valves ,rocker gear,etc is all there,broken fins,etc and whenever i quote unseen its always wrong."

I have a guy interested depending on most of the above for $100 bucks

IF your serious about an offer send me some pictures please.
