Hi everyone.
I am 37, from Brissy, QLD (Australia). I have too many project bikes, and much to the displeasure of my wife (see picture), I fell in love with this one and had to have it. I think she is secretly hoping I get this one on the road quickly to take her for a spin in style.
I am currently in research mode, although I have made some purchases already. With the marks on the engine and frame, if I am reading the tables and wiki correctly, the frame and engine could make her a 57 Golden Flash, but most of the rest looks a little frankensteinish . There is a US flag on the rear mudguard, so not sure if she came back from the US, or just owned by an American. She has not been registered in Australia, as it has no compliance plate, or evidence of one. There is evidence of someone attempting to put in their own wiring harness though, but not sure why, as so many other parts are missing.
I haven't decided exactly which direction I will take the rebuild in, but I do like the big chunky mudguards of the Golden Flash
I apologise for my noob questions in advance. I am more of a tinkerer than an experienced bike mechanic, and even though I regularly have to take apart and repair my (Indian made) Enfield, I'm no expert, and have very little knowledge on BSAs.
Cheers
Kaine.
