Theres a guy up in the Alaska vintage club (Surprisingly there is a lot of bikes/members but keep in mind, LONG winters so lots of shed time) But he has something similar done up as a Matchless cafe racer.
He has " Muchless" badges and emblems in the same style. Amusingly many people dont notice its asian.
The Mad Genius Dr. Harms in Florida was well known for some very creative builds tired of BSA M20s (He had a shipping container full of them and NOS parts) so he took a different path on one. Married parts of a 1940s style WW11 Military spec M20 with a Suzuki Savage motor and (
) Belt final drive. It was quite a machine. 650cc single with electric start and went quite well and ........(
) ALWAYS started and never broke down!.
I have pictures of both machines in a file. The Savage BSA really inspired me, Dr Harms was a prolific seller on ebay and he had an amazing assortment of treasures he sold. (Still have a half case of the nuclear plant grade Anti seize he was selling) He sold me a NOS BSA M20 tank, toolbox, and hmmmm? there was something else he sold me too. cant remember. Anyrate I have in a pile the makings of the BSA M641 UAV
(Urban Assault Vehicle) and plan is mix of ALL BSA parts but from a variety of models. C-12, M20, B33 and 441 motor in a rigid frame. a true BITZA.
As long as you are not parting out restorable machines and making uses of old parts gathering dust why not have some fun with them?
