Hi guys
I need some help to identify this model.
It's my grandfather sitting on the motorcycle. I believe the photo is from the late 40's. He used to ride around Europe with his buddies!
Thanks
Sorry, can't get the image to work. Here is the address

It looks like a G model from 1940-46. The G models after 46 had telescopic forks, prior to that the G forks were girder type. The chrome would indicate it was post 1945. The thing I am not sure of is what appears to be overhead valves and exposed push rod tubes. I believe the WWII WD's were side valve engines so I don't think it is one of those.
If those are not overhead valves, it could be a 1937 JF. See this link:
