Again, good British engineering (or is that simple) no real issues other than the manuals don't tell me how to split the front forks. However I have a cunning plan, went to see an old Motorcycle Engineer (really "old school") and he has restored about 10 BSA bikes. He said not only would he split the forks for me, he'll look at the gearbox and tell me if it needs any work or not. So big shout out to RJ Coopers of Cookstown.
If anyone's interested they should go and have a cup of tea with him as he's a real interesting guy to talk with and his know-how and knowledge is fantastic.
So next job is to start rubbing down the frame, and then start to paint :) decided to paint rather than powder coat as I want to keep it as original as possible.
Oh, one nugget of information Coopers gave me was it's going to be impossible to re-chrome just part of the tank where it was originally so will have to be totally re-chromed (big expense) when I'm ready.
So here's the latest pictures:
Shaft Puller £45
"C" Wrech £6.50
Assorted bearing pullers £20
Manuals and original workshop manuals £30
2nd Hand Haynes Manual £17
DragonFly Parts Book £5
