Thanks for the add to the forum, Im Greg from Devon  and looking to get my fathers A7 Shooting Star and his first bike a BSA B31 back on the road. Would welcome any help, tips and assistance in this project.I lost my father back in January and i know it was his wish that they not lay idle. He restored them both 20 Years ago but through ill health never got to see them on the road.

Hi Greg and welcome
Sorry to hear about your loss, but the bikes will be a fond connection.
You just have to ask and all the help you need will be forthcoming.

Nice to have another Brit on board - blinking colonials are threatening to outnumbers us, mind you they do seem to know a thing or two *shh*
All the best - Bill

G'day Greg  *welcome*.
Your dad did a really good job on the A7 and to have his first bike as well is a great honor. I'm sure you will enjoy every moment on them.
There is no such thing as a dumb question here, might be a few dumb answers, we'll help you sort any problems.

Hello Greg, it's a very good forum and the guys are both knowledgeable and very friendly.

All the best for your endeavours. Just ask away, as Musky advises.
